Aaargh (Arcadia) ROM

A 1 or 2 player monster fighting game with you playing the monsters. Controls are directional and 2 buttons. Button 1 breathes fire, button 2 punches. Pressing down and punching picks up items and pressing up and punching attacks upwards.

The aim of the game is to find eggs hidden in the level. You do this by destroying buildings and other constructions until you find the egg. Inside the things you destroy will be power ups as well as people, eat them to gain more strength and power.

You will be faced with things trying to hurt you, such as catapults and wagons as well as giant flying mosquitoes, wasps and birds. At the end of a level you will fight the other monster for the egg.

In 2 player, the monsters work together until the egg has been found then they fight each other.

It's a simple game with simple controls although I would prefer a separate button for picking up items. It is enjoyable and although not unique, not exactly a common concept either.
