Summary
In the near-future, a scientist experiments with creating life using a secret scroll found in Tibetan ruins. He accidentally revives an ancient bio-weapon that quickly captures him & his family, except their plucky son Dota. Explore multiple zones full of monsters, gadgets, & hazards to help Dota defeat bosses and save his family from this resurrected monstrosity.
With various weapons & power-ups, you must increase your health & toolset in this dungeon crawling action-platformer. A Family Computer port was planned & advertised through 1987, but ultimately cancelled. The PC versions are officially available today via Project EGG.
