-
- A GAME BY NEXUS SOFTWARE
-
- Copyright 1992
- (Requires 286 or higher and VGA)

-
-
- In THE TOMB, you play the part of an adventurer seeking the buried treasures
- of an Egyptian Pharaoh.
-
- To move the adventurer use the joystick or arrow keys. Joystick button one
- or 'a' on the keyboard fires left. Joystick button two or 's' on the keyboard
- fires right.
-
- In order to complete levels in the tomb, it is necessary to pick up keys
- and unlock locks. All of the locks must be unlocked and the level completed
- within the time allotted. Your adventured may hold only one key at a time.
- If a key is held, it is shown by a key displayed in the upper right corner
- of the screen. When the final lock is unlocked on any level of the tomb,
- the adventurer can open the final doors to reveal the treasure and proceed
- to the next level.
-
- In THE TOMB, your adventurer must avoid contact with the monsters that appear
- in various parts of the tomb. When your character is struck by a monster,
- you lose one life. When all of your lives are gone, the game ends. When you
- are struck, but lives remain, you continue your mission at the beginning of
- the level. Any keys held or doors unlocked will remain intact. Each game
- consists of three lives. The difficultly level chosen at the beginning of the
- game determines how quickly monsters will appear in the tomb. If the time
- for level completion runs out, the adventurer cannot fire until the next
- level. An alarm will sound when time gets low.
-
- If there are many monsters, a flash bomb can be used to destroy all of
- monsters currently in the tomb. Three flash bombs are provided per game.
- Flash bombs are set off by pressing the space bar. An extra flash bomb
- will be awarded at the completion of each level (if less than three are held).
-
- Teleport zones can be used to enter certain areas of the tomb. These zones
- are surrounded by gold pillars. If your adventurer moves between them,
- he will be teleported to the opposite zone on the screen.
-
- Score points by picking up prizes, picking up keys, or opening locks
- in the tomb. Shooting monsters also scores a few points. A bonus will be
- rewarded for any time remaining at the end of a level.
-
- Sound can be disabled during game play by pressing 'q' (quiet mode toggle).
-
- ESC aborts the program.
-
- The program checks for the presence of a joystick when it is first
- executed. It is important not to press any joystick buttons and
- have the joystick centered before starting the program.
