Descpription:
This raster game is very similar to the home computer game
by Broderbund. Your commando runs around a vertical maze of tunnels made of brick
and dirt. Use your blaster to dig holes, collect gold nuggets, and escape to the next level.
The object of the game is to collect all gold pieces from a maze of tunnels, ladders,
ropes, and rooms. Persuing you is a number of monsters. The player navigates the maze
with the joystick, climbing ladders, hanging from ropes, jumping off cliffs, or creating
new tunnels with the blaster. Once all gold pieces are collected, an escape ladder appears.
When the player gets to the top of it, he will move on to the next level -- a different maze.
There are three levels per block. Each block has a different kind of monster. There is also
a timer for each level. If time expires before reaching the top of the escape ladder, the player dies.
When the player loses a life, that level must be repeated from the start. When
the level is finished, the remaining time is added to the score. If the level is
finished in less than half of the allotted time, 2x of the remainder is awarded.
