- Note: I don't have the CBM version, but do have the Atari 2600 (ack!) version,
- I am assuming that the maps are the same.
-
- I'm not sure what you mean by left... I generally think of it as
- left-middle-right. To get to the middle from the right (where you come in at)
- you basically have to go as far down on the really long ladder as you can (past
- some poison toads). To navigate the middle (a big cavern with bats flying high
- overhead, water just beneath you) wait for the bat to fly off the screen, and
- balloons should start drifting by overhead. Jump up and grab one. To let go,
- you need to work it so that a bat pops the balloon (or you bump into the
- ceiling). To get to the left part, come down from the balloon on the left side
- of the cavern, and again keep going down until just above the water.
-
- If you're stuck where I think you are (where I was when I first got the game)
- then you're waiting for the balloons and haven't found anything other than gold
- yet. The diamond and girl are on the left side of the middle (you have to jump
- from a right-hand ledge and bounce just right to get the diamond), the cat is
- way at the top of the left (get good at ducking under condors and bats!)
