To complete the game, you must carefully determine your routes through ì
each screen in turn, with the aim of defusing the time-bomb by passing ì
over it. However, before the time-bomb can be defused, you musty ì
first:-
(a) collect all diamonds (including those concealed in safes or cages)
(b) collect the golden crown
(c) kill all the monsters

Each screen has a time-limit and, if you do not complete the screen ì
within this time-limit, the time-bomb will explode and you will lose a ì
life. Repton can, however, travel backwards in time because whenever a ì
time-capsule is collected the time-bomb's clock is reset.

Each screen comprises a series of puzzles. many of these are ì
interlinked and you may have to solve a number of small puzzles to ì
enable you to tackle a large one. The puzzles maym in some cases, seem ì
impossible - but we assure you that Repton 3 can be completed.

Rocks will fall if unsupported and should one land on you it will kill ì
you. You must also avoid the monsterr, spirits, skulls and fungas - ì
contact with these is fatal.

When an egg falls, it cracks upon landing and a monster hatches out. ì
The monsters are killed by pushing or dropping rocks on them.

There may be upto 8 spirits on each screen. They always follow the ì
walls to their left until they reach a cage. When a spirit enters a ì
cage, it changes into a diamond. A spirit may become dazed if you drop ì
rocks onto it or collect all the diamonds immediately surronding it. ì
This is to be avoided as the spirit will then move endlessly in a ì
small circle.

Watch out for the poisonous fungas which grows incessantly sealing ì
your fate. Trap it in by surrouding it with rocks if you can, or you ì
may never live to collect the golden crown.

Your route may be blocked by a safe. If so, you must locate a key ì
which open all of the safes on the screen revealing a diamond within.

Each screen may have a maximum of 4 transporters. They cause you to be ì
rematerialised at some other location on the screen, but each ì
transporteer can be used once only.

After each screen has been completed you should write down the Editor ì
Code, this will allow you to edit the screens using the up and coming ì
screen editor.
