Summary

Electrician puts you in the shoes of Richard Light, a hard‑working electrician tasked with running wiring through cramped apartment service corridors. As you snake the live cables from room to room, rats, bats and oversized insects scuttle about, trying to gnaw the wires, and a single touch costs you a life. When a connection is completed the newly powered rooms flash on, instantly shocking any critters that happen to be in the line.

The game rewards you for both illumination and extermination: each lit room adds points, and electrocuted pests boost your score further. Occasionally a burglar slips in, and catching him not only nets bonus points but also grants an extra life, adding a brief chase element to the otherwise methodical wiring.

Once every room in a building is wired, you must guide Richard out and into a pitch‑black sewer, where alligators lurk. A flashlight reveals hidden walls that block your path, forcing you to navigate carefully before the next building awaits.

Storyline

The Famicom Disk System title Electrician – often just called Electrician – puts you in the shoes of electrician Richard Light. He wanders the service corridors of apartment blocks, linking electrical wires between rooms while rats, bats and oversized insects try to gnaw the cables. Each completed live connection flashes and electrocutes the pests, and the occasional burglar appears; catching him rewards extra points and even an extra life.

When every room is wired, Richard must exit the building and navigate a pitch‑black sewer. He dodges alligators and uses a flashlight to expose hidden walls, completing the hazardous journey back to safety.
