Round-Up

Round-Up is a maze game with puzzle elements. The labyrinth contains a 3x3 square area that is populated with white circles at the start of a level. Some of the entrances to this area are blocked, and this changes throughout the game. Your goal is to change all of the circles red. You can do this by first capturing one of the red knights that populates the maze, which turns your character red. Then you enter the central area by one of the entrances. The square where you enter will become red, the others will move up/across one, and you will appear on the other side. This process will also modify which of the central squares are accessible.

The maze is populated with several creatures. There are red knights, which you must collect and will run slowly away from you. There are also white knights, which run towards you and will turn you white again if you touch them. And there are four enemies (the "gly" boys), who will cost a life if they catch you. They start each level asleep on the right side of the screen, and eventually wake up and chase you.

Each knight you capture causes another to spawn from a queue, displayed at the top of the screen. In addition to red and white knights, there is also King Rompus who moves about more quickly than the knights. If caught, he will put the gly boys to sleep for a certain period of time, and turn the white knights red. There is also "Ugly", who is one of the gly boys that is much smaller than the others, and not fatal but still annoying.

Completing one of the levels will take you to a bonus round where you have to arrange a certain pattern on an electronic coloured square by manipulating the rows and columns. The game then loops at a higher level of difficulty.

The game was initially released as Fitter by Taito in Japan. The US release had a new title and renamed characters.
