- DESCRIPTION
-
- Diamond is a fast paced VGA only game that combines both extreme
- arcade style reflexes and puzzle solving strategy. Your
- objective is to retrieve a set number of diamonds from fifteen
- different levels. In your quest you must dodge the mines
- digging equipment and falling boulders and diamonds as you
- tunnel through the earth looking for the diamonds you need
- to defeat the spirit of Xathe. Diamond includes a free built-in
- level editor and Soundblaster compatable sound plus speed
- adjustability to compensate for different skill levels.

- STORY
-
- The long searched for diamond mines of the Andes mountains have
- been found. It did not take long for the entrepreneurs to realize
- that the only way to make a profit would be to automate the mines.
- Soon, there were machines that dug tunnels, crushed boulders to
- release the diamonds inside, and conveyor belts and lifts to move
- everything around. But not long after the mines had been automated
- and were set to run independent, something went drasticaly wrong,
- as it always does. The spirit of Xathe was awoken. The demon set
- forth his minons to wreak havok on all of the machines that had
- intruded in upon Xathe's lair. The diggers, or blades as they were
- called in mine jargon, were sent to aim mindlessly through the
- corridores of the mine. The conveyor belts were set to run at
- top speed as the bolts flew from their joints. The corporations
- lost hope after the first attempts to regain control were a complete
- loss. It did not take long for the news of this event to reach
- the entire globe. Young and old souls alike seeking fame, glory,
- and adventure foolishly set out to make their fourtune with the
- thousands and thousands of diamonds to be found in the mines.
- You, being the foolish one that you are, decide that you too can
- outfox the spirit of Xathe. So here you are.
