Wurm: Journey to the Center of the Earth (NES).

I personally think it's a great game especially for the NES era however I've seen it on a few worst games lists since it tries to do about 5 different things and doesn't quite perfect any of them.

is that "Journey to Silius" or are we thinking about two different games?


Different games.


Wurm was a game where mankind had begun to examine what lay beneath the Earth's surface with vessels/crafts called VZRs.  Contact with several VZRs was lost and VZR-5 was charged with the mission of finding out what happened to the rest.  Among the crew of the VZR-5 was a woman named Moby who was also searching for her lost love who had disappeared along with one of the other VZRs.

Wurm was a...

Side-scrolling shooter.
Vertical-scrolling shooter.
First-person shooter.
Side-scrolling platformer.

All in one NES game.

It had a simple yet interesting plot and a lot of different gameplay elements.  It didn't do any of them perfectly and it had its share of flaws, but it was fun.
