Arcade Game: Zwackery (1984 Bally Midway)

A Side-Scrolling Platfrom/Run ’N Jump game where you are Zak Thwacker the wizard using a sword and spell casting on a quest to restore enchanted frog back into the buxom princess she once was. You go through dozens of doors and exits in search of spells and powerups for your sword to fight the evil Ghoulum. The Sword can be used to attack enemies or obstacles or spin the player around. The shield can be wielded to provide protection. Spells include Bouncing Boots, Shooting Swords, Invisibility Potions, Magic flutes, and a Dragons Egg, which put Leapin Fungoes to sleep and allows safe passage through the Dragon’s Lair. Here are the stages in this game : 1. School of Sword and Sorcery 00:46 2. The Ghoulum’s Revenge 6:03 3. Curse of the Swampburbles 15:33 4. Corridor’s of Confusion 29:57 5: Secret of the Crypt 49:36 6. Dominion of Deception 59:06 7. The Legend continues 1:18:06 After that last stage (The Legend Continues), the game repeats that last stage endlessly and the game is endless so I quit afterwards as there’s not much point to keep on playing. Midway’s first 16-bit game powered by 68000 CPU. Note: Used infinite energy cheat when close on running out. It’s best to disable the infinite energy cheat on ghost-like boss fights as it seems to have little or no effect making the battle taking longer.
