Description
A sequel to the legendary original, released a year earlier. Atari, perhaps wisely, chose not to tinker with the core gameplay to any great degree, instead opting to merely 'upgrade' the already excellent multiplayer action that had created such a stir during the previous year. Changes to the sequel included the ability for players to play whatever character they wanted, even if that character was already in play. The characters were now colour-coded and players would find themselves taking on the role of 'Blue Elf', 'Green Wizard', etc. The in-game speech was altered from the original to allow for the new player definitions. Other changes included the ability to 'bounce' shots off walls, providing the correct item was found. New potions and monsters were also added; the most notorious being the Fire-breathing Dragon. Defeating the creature would see the players rewarded with a permanent potion and a bag of treasure. Another notable addition was the wonderful 'It' monster : any player who was tagged by the creature would suddenly find that all of that level's creatures would ONLY chase him or her, completely ignoring the presence of the other players. The only way to remove this curse was to tag another player, thus making him or her 'it'.
