Chimera

In Chimera, a huge spaceship threatens Earth. The player must explore the vessel, overcome blocked areas, find useful items, and activate its self-destruct mechanism.

The game takes place across an isometric maze of 8 × 8 screens. Players must use the correct items to disable obstacles, manage limited food and water reserves, and assemble warheads for activation in the ship’s four blue rooms. Afterward, reaching the green room completes the quest.

Running out of supplies or using an incorrect item can be fatal. Completing the game provides a key combination that unlocks a bonus game involving shooting at rows of items.
