Madness

About

Madness is a platformer built for Commodore systems where you navigate a single screen bristling with hazards. Your goal is to jump, shoot, and survive waves of enemies ranging from mechanical walkers to slithering snakes. The catch? One foe looks suspiciously like a certain dot-devouring arcade icon. Controls are simple but demand quick reflexes as traps and attackers fill the screen. The game earns points for absurdity and intensity. While short in length, the chaotic action rarely lets up. Players curious about retro gaming oddities might appreciate the unexpected Pac-Man homage. With a 1986 release date, it’s a relic for collectors or those chasing quirky 8-bit challenges. No frills, just relentless jumping and shooting.
