I Ludicrus

Having drunk too much at the bar and made a fool out of himself, arena cleaner
Ludicrus finds that he has been “promoted” to gladiator. In order to once more
become a free man, he must beat three opponents: the big Germanic warrior Herr
Liss, the femme fatale Bon d’Age and the masked gladiator Bud Vyzr. Ludricrus
must stand five rounds against each opponent, or he must face a lion. If the
lion wins, it’s game over.

The game is a one-on-one fighting game where Ludicrus is armed with a short
knife. Using a combination of button presses and joystick pulling, Ludicrus
may back off, jump, take cover and slash with his knife. There is limited
horizontal scrolling as in _Streetfighter II_. Since there are no power bars,
you have to hold a mental score of how much damage you have taken and given.
Graphics are cartoony with a touch of _Ast erix_.
