Whirlinurd

Whirlinurd is a video game in the action genre and published by U.S. Gold Ltd. originally released in 1985. It is currently playable on Commodore 64, Atari 8-bit.

The Nurds are always hungry and Napoli Yerty, Hooseby Nurd, Hamish Pupkin and Melvin Lugby are no exception and need to feed themselves, so they must explore 50 levels to find four pieces of food in each level. You control one of the Nurds and three other friends can take control of the other Nurds with a joystick. The game is a platformer that scrolls in all directions as you move. In each level there are several obstacles to avoid or you lose one of your three lives. In addition to being able to jump, the Nurds have a special feature, rotor blades installed on their head that allow them to fly if you hold down the fire button. If your Nurd touches a wall or platform (non-lethal), or you release the fire button, it will float back to the ground, but will not be able to fly until it touches solid ground. Once you have collected all four pieces of food, you move on to the next level. An extra life is granted when you complete a level.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
