I Ludicrus

After a drunken mishap, arena cleaner Ludicrus is “promoted” to gladiator. To become free again, he must face Herr Liss, Bon d'Age, and Bud Vyzr.

Each opponent requires five rounds of one-on-one combat. Ludicrus carries a short knife and can back away, jump, take cover, or slash using button presses and joystick movements. If he does not prevail, he must face a lion; losing to it ends the game.

The game features limited horizontal scrolling, cartoony graphics with a touch of Astérix, and no power bars, requiring players to keep track of damage mentally.
