Entombed is an Atari 2600 game designed by Tom Sloper and programmed by Paul Allen Newell, released in 1982 by US Games. Newell also programmed Towering Inferno for US Games.[1]
The player moves downward through a continuously scrolling maze, trying to get as far as possible while avoiding enemies. The maze cannot scroll backward, so it is possible to get trapped by taking a path that leads to a dead end. Picking-up a large dot gives a "make-break" which removes the maze wall directly below the character.[3] In two-player mode, both players are in the maze at once.
