Game description:

Paragon is an action-puzzle game released for DOS in 1988 by Gamer’s Edge and id Software. The objective is to guide a bouncing ball through 20 challenging mazes, gathering specific treasures while avoiding deadly traps to open the exit to the next level.

How to play

Your ball travels back and forth on wires until you choose to release it. Once released, it bounces freely through the maze until it catches onto another wire. You must carefully time these releases to collect treasures and steer clear of laser cannons and dangerous black “zombie” balls, keeping in mind that your ball has a limited number of hit points.

Control:

Game is controlled by the same keys that are used to playing under MS DOS. For fullscreen press ‘Right Alt’ + ‘Enter’.
