Ultar's Lair (ATARI 2600 HOMEBREW)

A terrible epidemic ravages the inhabitants of Ekeanor, drying up their fields and turning its people to stone.

Only a young druid knows the origin of such a dreadful curse: it is the legacy of Ultar, the sorcery of an insidious wizard who hides in an ancient, forgotten temple buried deep within the earth.

His malevolent spell siphons the vital energy from the creatures on the surface to fuel his own power, seeking his return to the realm of the living where he plans to rule with an iron fist.

Armed only with an enchanted dagger and the strength of his will, our hero ventures into the depths of the abyss, determined to face a legion of demons and uproot the source of this dreadful curse.

This 32Kb game has been developed to run on the original hardware of an Atari 2600 console and optimized for NTSC.
You can write the ROM to a cartridge and run it on an original machine, or load it on a PC and play it using the Stella emulator.

Control the hero with the joystick and attack with the fire button. Locate the key on each dungeon level to open the exit and continue descending into the depths.

By pressing the console switch, you can view the map of each dungeon that makes up Ultar's lair. Use it to avoid getting lost.

In each dungeon, you will find items that will strengthen and aid you in your mission: increasing your hit points, improving your weapon, increasing your movement speed, or even allowing you to resurrect once after falling in combat.

As you delve deeper into Ultar's lair, new enemies will appear. Remember that while they flicker in blue, they will be immune to your attacks. Wait for the right moment to stab their black hearts!

In each dungeon level, there is also a room where you can recover your strength. Take note of their locations to make your mission easier.
