V1CGaming's review of Underwurlde

Some of the other ZX Spectrum games made by Ultimate Play the Game (now Rare) that are included in Rare Replay haven’t aged gracefully. But in the case of Underwurlde, I have to wonder how anyone could have enjoyed it even in its day. It’s so fundamentally flawed to control that it brought back bad memories of Bill & Ted’s Excellent Video Game Adventure and Dark Castle. Underwurlde is close to unplayable.

"Vertical Atic Atac" indeed. The enemies don't kill you, instead you just have the possibility of falling to your death. You bounce around and do acrobatics like crazy, with absurd gravity and physical abilities heh. But I soon got sick of bouncing around uncontrollably and struggling with the goofy controls. Potentially really fun, so worth a playtest, but I'm moving on
