Description
What happens when Breakout meets a Mario Bros. (the original Mario Bros. that appeared on classic systems such as the Atari 2600, back when Mario and Luigi were just cousins, before they were brothers)? Off the Wall happens, and it’s smashing!
Our hero is Kung Fu Lu, a young lad who has been granted five lives, as we are told from the game’s plot. His job is to destroy “an old, ugly wall” that contains evil spirits and to kill the mystical dragon that protects the wall, while outsmarting a cunning blackbird who attempts to foil Kung Fu Lu’s efforts. Lu uses only a stick and a ball to smash the horrible wall. From time to time, good fortune blesses Lu with magical objects that bring good fortune (power-ups).
Sounds cheesy? Who cares! Off the Wall brings amazing depth, innovative gameplay, and excellent graphics to the aging Atari 2600.
