About this game

Lap of the Gods is an action-adventure puzzle game released in 1985 for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Trapped in a vortex by the Gods of Zzam, you must recover their crystals from 16 chambers.

Each chamber contains three effigies. Collecting them enables access to new levels and grants extra powers that help track down the chamber's crystal. A jet propulsion pack lets you thrust upward, but its energy is limited.

The Gods' minions must be avoided, as contact causes the loss of irreplaceable effigies and a life. Special powers are activated through a menu system opened by pressing fire.
