## Description
A Compute! Magazine type-in BASIC title featuring Nerm the Worm, who is
trapped in Bemer Castle and would like nothing more than to escape (and
consume a generous helping of “magic mushrooms” along the way). Yet another
variation on Snake where the player controls a serpentine crawler in perpetual
motion, which must be guided to consume food, dodge deadly walls, and avoid
biting its own tail.
The castle is composed of eleven rooms, each trickier to navigate than the
last. In a vaguely Carrollian manner, the rooms are prone to sprouting
mushrooms which cause Nerm to grow as he eats them: after consuming five
mushrooms, the exit doors will open, leading to the next room. Extra lives are
awarded along the way, presumably another effect of the magical fungi. When
the game is over, a verbal ranking is given based on the player’s progress,
ranging from “zero” to “hall of fame”.
