Entombed

About

Entombed drops you in a maze of catacombs with a horde of zombies hot on your heels. As an archeologist, you rely on a clever wall-building mechanic to escape: place barriers to block pursuers or shatter them to carve new paths. The twist is time is against you, the longer you survive, the faster the zombies close in. Play solo or team up with another explorer, working together or racing each other to the exit. Every decision tightens the pressure as the maze shifts and the danger escalates. For a 1985 release on the Commodore 64, Entombed feels strikingly ahead of its time. Its puzzle elements blend with real-time action in a way that still feels fresh, and the dual-player mode adds replayable chaos. The limited hardware doesn’t hold it back, instead, it becomes part of the challenge, forcing you to master twitchy controls and memorize layouts. It’s a hidden gem that still tests players with its relentless pace, proving tight design can outlast technical limits.
