Indiana Jones type game where the hero uses a whip to kill snakes and spiders.
The hero, a Indiana Jones type, used a whip to kill primarily snakes in a
"snake pit". The view was an overhead view of the snake pit and the hero.
The controls consisted of two track balls. One ball, controlled the movement of the hero. The other caused a whip to snap in the direction the ball was rolled. The snap would occur a
few inches away from the hero so there was no way to hit anthing right next to the hero.
The game would start with the hero in the middle of a large snake pit with
various colored snakes coming in from all directions. The hero would snap
the whip to kill each snake. The goal was to kill all the snakes to move
onto the next snake pit. As play continued, a jumping spider would come
out and try to land on the hero. You could only hit the spider when it
was on the ground. If you did not get all the snakes in a certain amount
of time, more and more spiders would come out eventually overwhelming the
hero.
Each successive snake pit was a different shape (i.e., square, hexagon,
circle?, rectangle, ...). On higher levels, the standard snake pit shapes
would be repeated but with small squares (representing columns) in the pit and then bottomless pits within the middle of the snake pit. The columns just made it more difficult to hit the snakes behind the columns. The
bottomless pits would cause the hero to loose a life if the hero fell into
the pit.
There were challenge rounds that just had lots and lots of spiders jumping around.
The hero would reach the final snake pit (the gold room or something like
that) and the game would be over. The player would get some number of
points for each remaining hero left at the end of the game.
