Is it still worth playing?
Taito's 1988 arcade platformer, inspired by a programmer's holiday in New Zealand, in which Tiki, a kiwi, has to save his girlfriend and other kiwi chicks kidnapped by a large blue leopard seal. Each level is a scrolling maze that extends in every direction. You look for the exit, the cage holding one of his friends, with the help of a mini map. Tiki dies in one hit from enemies, fire and spikes. He starts with an endless supply of arrows, and pickups turn them into bombs, lasers or bouncing fireballs. A distinctive feature is flying vehicles such as balloons, blimps and UFOs, which you can find or steal from enemies and which help cover the large levels. There are four zones of four rounds, with many secret areas and shortcuts reached through hidden warp portals. It is still worth looking around the big mazes before rushing for the exit.
