- INSTRUCTIONS
-
- You are a highly trained commando sent by the Farturion Empire to
- reclaim a stolen cache of Farturion Diamonds. They were stolen by
- a group of Raven Warriors from the dark world Yranus. The
- diamonds are being held in an underground warehouse deep beneath
- the vile surface of Yranus. The warehouse has 25 levels. You
- must pick up all the diamonds in each level to progress to the
- next level. Each level will be heavily guarded. The guards
- have no weapons, but since they are such vile creatures, if one of
- them touches you, you're history. Your only weapon is a portable
- proton accelerator that allows you to blast large holes in the
- floor which the guards (and you) can fall into. The holes will
- "heal" after a certain amount of time. If a guard is in a hole
- when it heals, he will reappear at the top of the screen. If
- you are in a hole when it heals, you're dead. You have 5 lives at
- the beginning of the game. You gain 1 life for each level you
- complete. When all lives are used up, the game exits to DOS.
- Remember that the guards can pickup diamonds. They will drop the
- diamonds when they fall into a hole. If no diamonds are left on
- the screen and the ladder to the next level has not appeared, then
- one or more of the guards is (are) carrying diamonds.
-
- The arrow keys control your direction (up, down, left, right).
- The "Z" key blasts holes to the left.
- The "X" key blasts holes to the right.
- The "A" key aborts the current life. (use for no way out situations)
- The "L" key skips to the next level. (cheat key)
- The "SPACE" bar will pause the game. Press any other key to restart.
- The "ESC" key exits the program.
