Asumikkun Wārudo?) is a Game Boy video game from Asmik copyrighted in 1989; Asmik of America Corp. copyrighted its version in 1990. The game's direct sequel, Asmik-kun World 2, was never released outside of Japan. The game is an example of the "trap-em-up" genre, which also includes games like Heiankyo Alien (1979), Space Panic (1980), and Lode Runner (1983).
This video game stars Boomer (Asmik-kun in the Japanese version), a pink dinosaur, coursing through maze-like levels. Boomer traps enemies by digging holes and letting the enemy fall in them. Boomer can also dig out items and keys needed to complete the levels. Passwords are revealed before and after every boss level. On the top floor is the ultimate boss. Defeat him in order to beat the game.
Famous quotes containing the words adventure and/or world:
“Typically, the hero of the fairy tale achieves a domestic, microcosmic triumph, and the hero of myth a world-historical, macrocosmic triumph. Whereas the former—the youngest or despised child who becomes the master of extraordinary powers—prevails over his personal oppressors, the latter brings back from his adventure the means for the regeneration of his society as a whole.”
—Joseph Campbell (1904–1987)
“The triple pillar of the world transformed
Into a strumpet’s fool.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
