WILD RIVER RUN
From ERICTRONICS
Your task is to transport all of the
expedition baggage across the waters
of the Wild River. Your colleague is
already on the opposite bank, and is
waiting to collect them from you.
The river is very deep, but turtles
basking in the sunshine act as some
convenient stepping stones for you
to use!
Carrying a bag, you can jump across
from turtle to turtle by moving the
joystick left and right. Jump up to
pass a bag to your companion, or to
jump back onto the left bank to pick
up another bag. Your friend will now
and then disappear to stack up the
bags he's collected from you.
There's only one problem! A turtle's
appetite is very large, and the river
has a large population of fish! The
turtles will dive to catch a fish as
often as they can - so beware of any
turtle with fish in his sights!
GAME PLAY
By moving the joystick left and right
you can jump from bank to turtle and
so on. If you are carrying a bag you
cannot jump back to the left bank.
At the right bank, use a right jump
to hand over the bag if your friend
is waiting to collect it.
You score 3 points for handing the
bag over, and from 2 to 12 for the
round trip depending on how long you
take.
If you are jumping to, or land on, a
turtle which is diving, then you will
lose a life - shown by a strike at
the top left corner. You start off
with 3 lives.
When your score reaches 200, 500,
1200, 1500 and so on a bonus is on
the way.
If lives have been lost they will be
restored, and play continues. But if
no lives have gone, a bonus run will
be given for a short period where no
fish rise and no turtle dives! During
This bonus run you may see some other
inhabitants of the river.
