About this game

Fat Worm Blows a Sparky is a 1985 adventure, puzzle, and shooter game from Durell Software Ltd. Set inside the architecture of a Sinclair ZX Spectrum, it follows Fat Worm as he searches for a disk drive to create a clone of himself.

Navigate through chips, processors, and circuit boards while fighting insectoid bugs with bolts of electrical energy. Mines and impact shots are available, but contact with enemies slows Fat Worm and drains his energy. Collect spindles to remove the bugs and continue your journey.
