Rapscallion

Rapscallion the Rogue has captured the ownership rights to your castle, and
imprisoned you out in the wilderness. Fortunately, your friend the Princess
has transformed you into a bird, allowing you to escape and begin your quest
for vengeance in this arcade adventure.

The screens are linked in a maze fashion, with most having multiple exits, and
each has its own hazards. These include marauding cats, dual spikes that close
in on you, bolts of electricity fired out from linked points, spiders, and
loads more. The graphical style is large and blocky, and certainly out of the
ordinary. You can change between a fly and a bird, each of which is immune to
some hazards. When you lose a life, you change into a ghost, which can fly
around unimpeded, but can’t do anything productive, so your first task is to
find a pixie and change back.
