Amidar

Amidar

Amidar is an arcade game programmed by Konami and published by Stern in 1981. The game principle is similar to that of Pac-Man: the player moves along a fixed, linear grid and tries to visit every location on the playing field while avoiding the enemies. Once each location has been visited, the player moves on to the next level. The game and its name have their roots in the Japanese draw game Amidakuji. The bonus level in Amidar is an almost exact replica of an Amidakuji game and the way the enemies move follows the Amidakuji rules - this is referred to as "Amidar movement" in the lure sequence.
