DIAMAZE
After an all-night poker game Lord Carruthers
owes you a great deal of money. You knew he
was cheating, but you were able to win because
of your superior playing skills. Carruthers, how-
ever, is a man you cannot trust. He claims he is
unable to pay his debt to you because he is "cash
poor;" all his funds are tied up in properties and
investments. He makes the following proposal:
"I say, old bean, I almost forgot about my diamond
mine! If you will cancel my debt, I will let you
have the run of my diamond mine for as long as a
lamp can hold out. You can keep whatever gems
you find. It could bring you much more than what
I owe you! What do you say?"
You have to give this careful consideration. You
probably will never get your money any other way.
But this idea of his could be dangerous, and if
Carruthers is as devious as he seems, it could be
downright fatal! He will probably give you a lamp
that does not hold much fuel, and when it goes out
you'll be stuck in the dark... FOREVER!
You also wonder if there are enough gems lying
about to cover the debt. Most of the diamonds are
probably still locked deep in the rock walls of the
mine.
Should you take Lord Carruthers up on his offer?
Yes, you accept the challenge, but you have some
"cards" up your own sleeve in THIS game. You will
take his lamp, but you have a fuel gauge that will tell
you how much time you have left at any moment. You
will also smuggle in ten sticks of dynamite to let you
get at some of those unexcavated areas. And, best of
all, you have a specially designed X-ray scope that
shows you where the diamonds are, even behind walls.
With careful timing and well planned use of the
explosives, you may very well be able to clean out
Lord Carruthers' mine and teach him a lesson he will
never forget!
Good Luck!!!
