From The Morning News: a
walkthrough for the action game “IKEA”
, including
detailed descriptions of each level and weapon. Excerpts:

====================
WORLD TWO: SHOWROOMS
====================

You start this world armed only with a UNIVERSAL FURNITURE-ASSEMBLY ALLEN
WRENCH. This is the weakest weapon in IKEA: You will have to hit a person 16
times with it to kill them. So your primary goal in this level is to find more
lethal means of dispatching your enemies.

================================
WORLD FOUR: SELF-SERVE WAREHOUSE
================================

Upon entering the warehouse, you need to go:

N, N, E, N, S, SW, U, N, W, U, W, W, W, U, NW, N, NW, S, E, W, W, W, N,
W.

Now you are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
