Underwurlde	Ultimate Play The Game	1984	colorclash lives sabreman score subterranean ystop100	[4]* [48]* [48]***Underwurlde was released in December 1984 and received a Crash Smash in the same issue as Ultimate's other Christmas `84 release - `Knightlore`. It was possible to escape from the Underwurlde via three separate exits with each leading onto a separate game (Knightlore, Pentagram and Mire Mare). Unfortunately, Mire Mare never made it past the drawing board although a scan of the cover can be seen on the official Rare (who were `Ultimate Play The Game`) website.
