Wurm: Journey to the Center of the Earth, released in Japan as Vazolder: The Underground Battle Space (地底戦空バゾルダー, Chitei Sen Kū Bazorudā), is a multi-genre video game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991 by Asmik. This video game is popular for the Engrish quote "May the 4th be with you;" which is a misquote from the legendary Star Wars saying May the Force be with you.

Gameplay

Before Lara Croft was raiding tombs, Captain Moby was fighting enemies under the Earth.

The plot of this video game deals with mysterious earthquakes that emerge in the year 1999, and the government dispatches explorers in powerful digging machines called VZR's (nicknamed WURMs, but the name is never used in the game).

Players controls Moby, the leader of one VZR's crew. While doing some research near the core of the earth, Moby and her friends discover that two races of subterranean humans have been fighting a war underground. She must leave her vehicle in certain sections of the game to fight the enemies in a side-scrolling fashion. Moby's set of combat skills include a karate kick, jump and the use of a firearm. Players lose the game if they run out of either fuel or energy in the life bar.

WURM has a variety of different styles of play, with side-scrolling travel stages in the VZR, overhead shooting levels, levels where Moby leaves the vehicle to explore underground ruins, and first-person shooting levels with boss monsters. Boss monsters have a probability meter that has to be raised up to 100% before that enemy can be eliminated. More characters join the crew over the course of the game.
