    THE PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT is an exciting computer game that lets you guide Mike
 The Explorer through the treacherous confines of an Egyptian pyramid.  You
 must avoid the cobras at all costs; try your best to avoid the doors which
 slow you down.

    Your quest is to recover all the jewels from the different rooms in the
 pyramid.  If you collect all the jewels from a room, an exit door will appear
 in the upper-right corner of the room.  Go through this door to the next
 mysterious chamber in the pyramid.

    Cobras protect the jewels.  You kill the cobras with fire.  Lighting a fire
 will cost you one can of gas (you have 10 to start with), and you can only
 light fires on DRY bricks.  This is a detail which many players find confusing
 at first.  Let me elaborate.  If a dry brick is to your immediate bottom-right
 or bottom-left (depending on which direction you wish to light a fire), and
 the space directly ABOVE the brick is vacant, you may light a fire.  Forget
 about perspective -- you must juggle your perspective in this game to stay
 alive.  Just experiment with lighting fires on the first level.  You can light
 fires while other fires are burning.  Study the instruction screens to get a
 picture of the fire-lighting situation.

    With every level you complete, you get an extra life.  You will need these
 extra lives.  After you use up all your lives, type in your name to register
 your score and see if you beat the old score.

    Controls:

           These are the movement keys:

       Use the keypad and don't worry about whether you have the <NumLock>
    on or off.

           These are special keys you may use at any time:

           <F1>  : Help!
            <D>  : Change game speed/delay
            <P>  : Pause
            <S>  : Sound On/Off (also works at the main screen)
            <R>  : Restart game (go back to the main screen)
           <ESC> : Exit to DOS

    If you can't remember all this, don't worry.  Abbreviated instructions are
 available inside the program.  How many levels are there in this game? Try to
 find out, but above all -- have fun and burn them cobras!
