About Temple of Kroz
The Super Kroz games refined Scott Miller's original design with new objects and harder puzzle screens rather than new graphics; everything is still built from the PC's text-mode character set. Temple of Kroz leans toward puzzles: many levels are about working out the order to use keys, bombs and tunnels.
