Averno is a single-screen arcade puzzle game which evokes more famous games of the era. It almost looks as if Taito could have released this in the arcades. It’s actually a Spanish release. Each screen is made up of bricks. Around the screen are placed keys, which are needed to unlock doors to progress to the next screen. To gain access to the keys and doors you must nudge the bricks carefully downwards. Do things the wrong way and the level will be impossible to complete. You’re also on a time limit. Graphically it’s in simple Mode 0 with basic sound effects and manic music. The game can be frustrating while you work out a solution to each screen and some form of variety in the graphics would have helped, but this isn’t a bad little game.
