- HOW TO PLAY
-
- Your goal is to steal as many jewels as you can by running over the jewels
- with your mouse while avoiding the guards. Once you steal all the jewels on
- a level, a new set of guards will appear. The scene changes every two levels.
- You lose a man every time a guard touches you or you leave the playing field.
- Once you steal the diamonds at the expert speed, you will find out about the
- jewel of great price.

- HISTORY and HUMOR
-
- Jewel Thief is dedicated to my wife Nancy who enhanced my knowledge of jewels
- past that of an engagement ring. She also inspired the rainbow in the last
- scene.
-
- Jewel Thief is not crippled in any way except that it can't sing. I figured
- you didn't want the whole office to know you are not getting your work done.
-
- Jewel Thief was originally written in Actor but I found people don't like to
- downloaded 500K programs. I do like Actor for large projects.
-
- For those of you who have made it to the castle scene, yes, I know that
- "Gold" is not a jewel. I needed a 14th level to round out the game.
