Экшен-платформер игра Scumball

Scumball is a classic platformer game released in 1988 by Software Creations, published by Bulldog Software. The game takes place in a sewer system overrun by various creatures, with the main antagonist being a monstrous green slime. Players control L.I.N.D.A., the Laser Incorporated Nasties Disposal Android, on a mission to eliminate the slime threat.

In Scumball, players navigate through the sewers, overcoming obstacles and enemies. The primary objective is to collect eight grenades scattered throughout the levels. Once collected, these grenades must be used to destroy the green slime creature in its lair. The game is single-player and offers joystick or keyboard controls.

The gameplay involves strategic movement and quick reflexes to avoid enemy contact, which results in power loss. Falling into water or spike pits, as well as touching pods, leads to a complete loss of life. The game provides a status report feature, pausing the action to give players an update on their mission progress.

Scumball is notable for its challenging gameplay and unique setting. The ZX Spectrum 48K hosts this classic, where players must carefully plan their route through the treacherous sewer environment to succeed in their mission.
