With your trusty jetpack strapped to your back, enter and explore a hundred levels full of treasures and peril. Your quest is to take all of the gems in each level without getting killed.

You must find fuel for your jetpack before you can fly around the dungeons. Press down while flying to maintain constant altitude. Some levels contain no fuel, so you must rely on ladders and be careful not to encounter any monsters on the ground. There is also a Phase Shifter built in to your jetpack which tunnels through bricks. Some bricks are denser than others and require more time to break through. Grey stone is solid and cannot be phased. There are also other items that can be affected by the Phase Shifter. You will have to experiment to find out what they are. ************ * FEATURES * ************ There are teleporters that transport you around the level, and barriers that block your progress. These barriers are deactivated by pressing buttons of the same color. Activate buttons and teleporters by pressing down while touching them. Monsters can turn the barriers on and off by moving over colored floor switches. There are moving platforms and ladders that can help or hinder you. Icy bricks make it hard to walk, and some bricks are covered with sludge, slowing your progress. Monster Stunners, Shields, and fuel appear randomly for a quick player to retrieve. The Stunners make the monsters harmless and paralyze them momentarily. Shields protect you from monsters, spikes, and all other hazards. *********** * SCORING * *********** SPECIAL ITEMS Tank of Fuel 10 Points Double Tank of Fuel 20 Points Stunner 25 Points Shield 25 Points TREASURES Emerald Gem 5 Points Gold Coin 10 Points Pile o' Gold 25 Points Golden Vase 50 Points Extra Life 100 Points ---------------------------- Page 3 ---------------------------- **************** * GAME OPTIONS * **************** At any point in the game, you may press [J] to adjust the joysticks, or press [PAUSE] to pause the game. ************* * MAIN MENU * ************* [S] Start the action!

With it you can create up to 100 of your own levels to play and share with friends. Pressing [ENTER] will give you a layout of all 120 tiles available for level construction. Use the arrow keys to choose the tile and then place it in the desired location with [SPACE]. A quicker way to choose a tile is to move the cursor over one that is already in your level and press [INSERT] to pick it up. A shortcut key for putting down background tiles (erasing) is [DELETE]. This key is also used to erase monsters. If you're having trouble getting started on a level, press [R] to randomly scatter your current tile. This will give you a foundation around which to build your level. The Block function also helps in the construction of levels. Block works like the Block option in most word processors. Press [B] to mark the starting point of the block, then move and press [B] again to mark the endpoint. The rectagonal area you have just selected is now saved in memory. You can press [P] to paste it down with the top- left at your current cursor location. Press [F] to fill the entire blocked area with your current tile. Press [C] to clear the entire level. There are eight types of monsters that you can use to make your levels more challenging. You can place up to 20 monsters in each level, by pressing [1] to [8] for the monster type. The monsters are listed at the bottom of this page. Before testing your level, you must set the starting location with [S] and the location of the door with [D]. Test your level by pressing [F2]. For the File Options menu, press [TAB]. From here you can choose to [S]ave your level, [L]oad a level, [D]elete a level from disk, or view a level with [ENTER]. Press [ESCAPE] to return to the editor. In this shareware version of Jetpack, you have complete access to all of the editor functions, but you can only save level 0. If you need help recalling these commands, press [F1] for help. **************** * THE MONSTERS * **************** Trackbot This guy will track you down Steel Ball Rolls around crushing everything in its path Spring Bounces up and down Missile The fastest enemy, flies in a set pattern Spikes Bounces in a diagonal path of destruction Flitzer Flitzes around randomly Batbot Uses radar to hunt you down Homer Travels through bricks straight toward you ---------------------------- Page 6 ---------------------------- **************************** * REGISTRATION INFORMATION * **************************** Order a registered copy of Jetpack today for 100 challenging levels!
