After a short while, you will be presented with the main Hoards of the Deep Realm screen in which you may select a level set to edit (only custom level sets) or to play, and setup any game configuration options. Using the hard keys or the stylus, you must move John Bandit to collect all the gold available in a level. Use your vaporizer to blast holes in turf for trapping monks (who may carry gold), creating routes for escapes or paths to buried objects. When all gold is collected, extra routes may be shown. Guide John to the top of the screen to continue to the next level. Monks patrol each level and getting caught by one results in death. They can pick up objects and may drop them or need to be trapped to give them up. They can be killed if trapped for tool long and will re-appear. Consult your handheld device manual for instructions of selecting a menu item. When a game is active, you may tap the speaker icon at the bottom left of the screen to get to the configuration screen. It is possible to pause the current game in progress by tapping the paw icon. REGISTRATION: ============= Hoards of the Deep Realm is shareware, the demonstration version does not allow the player to generate high score codes or allow more than five levels be played in succession. To access these features, a device identification number is required to generate a unique unlocking registration datafile. You can get to the registration screen by selecting the 'Register' menu item in the 'Game' menu. It is very important to ensure that you copy down the device identification exactly as it is presented in this dialog as follows: 45:6D:75:6C:61:74:6F:72:39 <--- generated from the "Emulator" username It is very common that users copy down this information incorrectly and hence delay the registration process. An exact match is required for the restration process to succeed. REGISTRATION IS FREE - however, you will be required to fill in a survey asking for minimal information about your Palm Computing Platform usage at the following web address: http://www.ardiri.com/index.cfm?redir=palm&cat=hoards&subcat=survey Payments (donations of $10US) are accepted ONLY at PalmGearHQ and are not refundable.
