Boris is a funny-looking fellow, who has had his home raided by creatures of the underworld. They steal most of his possessions, and the unforgiving Boris decides to venture underground himself in the hope of retrieving his valuables.

Boris can move in four directions and has a rapid-fire, laser cannon. A joystick can be used with the game, which in my view aids play. As soon as the game starts, the underworld creatures start rushing towards you, and you must start firing straight away. This is nothing like a "shoot 'em out of the sky" game but, nevertheless, the creatures move like those in the legendary Space Invaders. The sound is identical and the more you shoot, the harder it is to outrun them. When you have finished them all off, one of Boris's possessions appears on the screen.

In the later stages, indestructible discs start appearing on the screen. This considerably slows down the process of killing the undergrounders. These and the fiery walls which close in around you make the game almost impossible.
