Description
WRIGGLER is based around maggot racing other maggots. The player controls a maggot and has to escape a maze consisting of 256 screens. The maze is divided into sections: garden, underground, hell, planet surface, the dungeon.
is a game set on an extensive map of over 250 locations, of which the six pictured show only an example. There are many routes you may take, but to successfully complete the game you must expect to go through four basic areas.:
1) THE GARDEN - a complex maze out of which you will probably not find your way until you have played the game several times...
2) THE SCRUBLAND - where you can relax a little and try to bring your energy back to scratch ...

As you set your pace for the race ahead you r mind begins to drift when you think about the fame, glory and honour for the first contestant who completes the race in over thirty years.
You are suddenly brought out of your dream as you realize you are being trampled on by an ant. You jump out of its way, thankful it did not follow you as others may do. But now in your weakened state you need food. Ah, you see some, but how do you get to it? And here is a key and an ant spray but which will you take?
Watch out for that spider! One touch from him and you are dead! Look - a parachute. You may need it later... But you cannot get to it as you slip off the moving floor and with your life energy drained plunge to your death with only the thought of what might have been ...
