The Unknown Game

 

Completely finished but never officially released, this mysterious Datatech title was left without a name โ€” so it became known simply as The Unknown Game.

 

Your goal is to reach the symbols at the top of the screen before your energy runs out. To get there, you must follow an invisible path across a hidden grid while avoiding UFOs and bullets dropped by birds. At the bottom of the screen, you can choose a new path before beginning your climb.

 

Each symbol changes the game in a different way. Reaching a Minus costs you 300 points, but returning to the start of your chosen path restores your energy. Reaching a Plus awards 1,000 points, and returning to the beginning of the path also gives you fresh energy. Reaching a Sword awards 500 points, makes the grid invisible, and allows every path to be walked. Return to the bottom of the screen afterward to restore your energy.

 

UFOs can be destroyed by touching them, earning 500 points, but beware: touching a non-flashing UFO will cost you one life. You will also lose a life if your energy runs out, or if the paths suddenly shift and cause you to fall. Occasionally, you may even teleport from one vertical path to another โ€” whether this is a hidden secret or a strange glitch remains unknown.

 

The game includes a two-player mode, eight difficulty levels with increasing speed, and even features music.
