Caverns of Kroz

Forget modern physics—Caverns of Kroz lets you destroy walls with whips. Yes, whips. This 1989 ASCII masterpiece from Apogee is part puzzle, part action, and all danger. You descend into increasingly deadly caves to collect gems, dodge demons, and pray the next screen doesn’t have eight slimes and no ammo. Minimalist graphics? Sure. Maximum tension? Absolutely. Bonus: you’ll learn to fear the letter “Z.”
