Description
"Devil World" is a video game designed by Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka, released for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in 1984 in Japan and 1987 in Europe. It stands out as the only game designed by Miyamoto that was never released in North America due to its religious iconography, which conflicted with Nintendo of America's policies at the time. The game features a green dragon named Tamagon, who ventures into the Devil’s World to challenge the devil himself, navigating through mazes that scroll in every direction. As Tamagon moves through these mazes, he must collect dots and crosses while avoiding or attacking various monsters with the help of Bibles.
The gameplay of "Devil World" bears similarities to "Pac-Man," as it revolves around navigating through a maze while collecting objects and avoiding enemies. However, "Devil World" adds unique elements such as the scrolling maze controlled by the devil at the screen's top, who manipulates the maze's direction with a pitchfork. Players must also manage Tamagon's ability to attack enemies by picking up and using crosses which temporarily empower him to breathe fire. Additionally, the game includes several different modes of play, adding variety and complexity. This incorporation of action elements and strategic maze manipulation makes "Devil World" a distinctive title in the NES library. Despite its limited release, the game retains a cult following and is remembered for its quirky blend of genres and novel game mechanics.
