Two years have passed since Yojar was defeated by Sophia. She was granted by the Emperor the title of Princess of Xixerella and now she rules her small country promoting peace and tolerance. However, people are lately disappearing without trace. Investigations carried out by secret agents establish a connection of this fact with the secretive Society of the Inner Light, behind which an obscure entity known as Grim Reaper hides. He exploits the life force of people by turning them into hideous beasts, to boost his might, as well as to build and supply energy to deadly fighting machines, which he plans to unleash in order to take over the whole Empire. An all-out attack is out of the question, since Imperial forces would risk to be annihilated, thus it is Sophia who has to turn to action. She will have to penetrate the tower where the Society has its seat, crossing a dungeon and an underwater passage, finally confronting the Grim Reaper face to face.

Will Aliana rise as the Queen in the end?

Fungus 2 is a previously unreleased sequel to the original Fungus game released by Players Software in 1986. Karl Hörnell and Bitmap Soft have worked together to bring you this exclusive and official release. The game is readily available free online and this version is only enhanced for Tape release.

The game is an arcade style game represented in an elevated 2.5-dimensional graphical perspective.

Along with the ability to move left or right across the landscape, you can also move up and down the screen as well as jump up onto ledges and over gaps. To complete each level, you need to collect all the mushrooms and return back to your starting point within a given amount of time.

Along the way, Fungus can pick up bonus bricks to increase the score points and use teleporters to reach otherwise inaccessible areas. Unlike in his first adventure, Fungus has prepared himself with a pistol to help him see off some of the more difficult creatures that he cannot avoid. If Fungus comes in contact with a creature or falls off the island into water or down a chasm, then he loses one of his three lives and respawns back at the starting point.

The Empire is in danger. A mysterious evil wizard called Yojar has occupied three major regions of it and placed there his tokens of power, in the form of large skulls. Since magic can only be defeated by magic, the Emperor asks the mighty Inner Circle of the small territory of Xixerella for their help. A young sorceress, Sophia, volounteers for the dangerous mission.

In the first three game zones, you must guide Sophia to find the four skulls and throw them, each one at a time, in a magic cauldron to destroy them. In order to proceed, you need to open some magic doors bearing the symbol of a geometrical shape. The door will disappear when Sophia carries an amulet of the same shape of that symbol.

Against Yojar’s minions she can throw projectiles of light and dark mana, but some enemies will be unaffected by a certain shot, other might even be transformed into two other ones. It is up to you to discover their effects! Sophia can also cast a defensive spell â€" the Shield â€" which will make her invulnerable for a short time. Magic is activated through mana; you receive a raw mana point each time you destroy an enemy, and in the Wizard Guild’s Hut you can exchange it for shots, a Shield or an extra life. After liberating the third zone, Sophia can enter Yojar’s dimension. Here the atmosphere is saturated with mana, so you won’t have to worry about running out of it. Your task here will be to find Yojar and defeat him.

Side B Bonus level: This edition features an exclusive bonus level. Your task, as in the main game, will be to find the four skulls and destroy them.

ABOUT

EARTH, 2562 A.D.

After centuries of war and suffering, peace slowly began to return to the world. Just as civilization had started to recover, however, another crisis fell upon it â€" an extra-terrestrial armada pillaged the earth, taking with them virtually all of the known supplies of gold. Society was plunged into chaos â€" financial markets experienced a recession of unparalleled proportions, electronics production ceased altogether, and people with dental fillings dared not wander out in public.

An international task force was created with the aim of recovering the gold. Scraping together what they could with the minuscule amount that had not been plundered, a shuttle was constructed that would serve justice upon the invaders. It contained a few spherical exploration pods, which would navigate the planetary surface by means of bouncing upon it.

You are responsible for piloting the pods and returning all of the gold to Earth. If this mission fails, humanity will be doomed to return to the Stone Age.

You are our only hope!

About

Skeeter the fisherman has found a large stash of dynamite in his Uncle Cletus’s shed and has decided to use it for his new hobby of “blast fishing”, which involves using explosives to stun the fish in the lake for easy collection.

The local fish are not happy with Skeeters destructive new hobby and so Jacques le Shark, a rarely seen fish with the ability to blow giant bubbles has come out of retirement to deal with the problem…

Completing a level will reward you with a code that can be entered on the title screen to start at the next level the next time you play.

Playing Freaky Fish

Capture the dynamite by blowing a bubble at it or swimming into the dynamite whilst holding a bubble. Release the bubble to send it to the surface, aiming at the boat if possible, but make sure to be careful of the other fish.

Don’t hold on to the dynamite for long as the fuses can be unstable, particularly near the surface.

If all the other fish in the lake are stunned by dynamite, the game will end.

Story

In his lifelong search for a powerful ancient alien device, after many decades of research and exploring the galaxy, Doc Cosmos eventually came into possession of a map pointing to a planet just a few light-years from Earth. After deciphering the alien language on the map, it seemed to indicate that the powerful time travel device was contained in an outpost that the alien race had deserted many years ago.

If Doc could get his hands on this device his life’s work would be complete, not only that he’d be the only person in the known galaxy with the ability to time travel, something that would undoubtedly bring him all the wealth he could desire. He could retire at long last!

We join Doc Cosmos on his search for the alien time travel device as he arrives at the abandoned alien outpost on the planet. But watch out scans have indicated that the outpost has been overrun with dangerous alien wildlife.

Part I (Side A): All aboard the Space Train!

In the Wild West frontier of the future, Space Trains race across the stars, piloted by powerful next-gen Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) with a whopping 48k of memory each. I know!

Tech this advanced always goes wrong (right?). Following a hook-up with incompatible peripherals at a remote space (train) station, the A.I.s have become corrupted and sent several Space Trains on a crash course with populated planets! It’s up to Maurice, The Space Cowboy, to reach the rogue A.I. in each train’s engine room before the outposts become a crater the size of Nebraska…

Each train is now the last train… unless you succeed!

Part II (Side B): The return of the Space Cowboy

Tranz-Central is saved! But small splinters of code have infected four more trains, heading towards brand new targets. New and old enemies are on board to stop anyone interfering. But the Space Cowboy has returned, leaping from train to train, striving to put right what might go wrong. Hoping each time that the next train will be the train home…

The object of the game is to make lines of three or more matching vegetables. To do so, you can swap the position of any two vegetables on the play screen by pressing fire then pushing in a direction. Pressing fire again “unlocks” the cursor. When there are no valid moves left then the board is shuffled â€" until you run out of shuffles, then it’s game over!

Match three vegetables and they are removed from the board, with new shapes dropping down to replace them. Occasionally an immovable block will be dropped. These can only be removed by strategically dropping them until a line of three or more immovable blocks is made. Match four shapes in a row to destroy a full row or line and match five to destroy all matching shapes and get an extra shuffle.
