This is just a template which shall help you to begin a new game article in this Wiki. You can, of course, add other chapters in the article as you wish.
When the name of the game is included in the introductory paragraph, please write it in '''''bold and italics'''''. (This is also the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tutorial/Formatting style advocated by Wikipedia].)
== Description ==
'''''WRIGGLER''''' is based around maggot racing other maggots. The player controls a maggot and has to escape a maze consisting of 256 screens. The maze is divided into sections: garden, underground, hell, planet surface, the dungeon.
is a game set on an extensive map of over 250 locations, of which
the six pictured show only an example. There are many routes you may take, but
to successfully complete the game you must expect to go through four basic
areas.:
1) THE GARDEN - a complex maze out of which you will probably not find your way
until you have played the game several times...
2) THE SCRUBLAND - where you can relax a little and try to bring your energy
back to scratch ...
3) THE UNDERGROUND - miles of stretching labyrinths containing among else
moving floors and rising heads which you must carefully balance on to cross
crevasses or climb walls. One slip and you may end up in HELL...
4) THE MANSION with THE LI FT SHAFT- an intricate web of corridors around a
seemingly bottomless shaft. You will need not only the lift but also the right
key to the right doors - and one may lead to the Planet Surface ...
As your play progresses you will encounter new and varied creatures, learn
about the value and importance of different objects and their influence on
your energy and score. Your way to the finish will never be the same as each
game is set up differently. But there is a way and perhaps you may be the
first in the thirty years of the Maggot Marathon to find it.

"THREE... TWO... ONE... GO!". And with a single shot from the starter's gun
the regional championsoftheAnnualMaggot Marathon bite their lips and quickly
set off on the most dangerous and highlighted event of the insect world
sporting calendar.
As you set your pace for the race ahead you r mind begins to drift when you
think about the fame, glory and honour for the first contestant who completes
the race in over thirty years.
You are suddenly brought out of your dream as you realize you are being
trampled on by an ant. You jump out of its way, thankful it did not follow you
as others may do. But now in your weakened state you need food. Ah, you see
some, but how do you get to it? And here is a key and an ant spray but which
will you take?
Watch out for that spider! One touch from him and you are dead! Look - a
parachute. You may need it later... But you cannot get to it as you slip off
the moving floor and with your life energy drained plunge to your death with
only the thought of what might have been ...
