MVP Software presents
Robomaze II
volume 1 -- The Lobby
Copyright 1991 MVP Software
This program is distributed under the "shareware" concept, in which you can
try this software before you buy it. If you like the game, please register it
by sending $15 to the address below. If after an evaluation period you choose
not to register, please give this software to a friend who might enjoy it.
The Robomaze II trilogy consists of three unique volumes, each one building on
the other. The Lobby is the first in the series. The Tower is volume 2, and
The Penthouse is volume 3. You may register The Lobby (the first volume) only
for $15, or for $30 order all three. If you order all three games, you will
receive all of the following:
* The latest version of The Lobby, without the shareware notices.
* A printed program manual.
* Secret game-winning hints and tricks from the Mad Scientist that allow
you to get past those difficult rooms.
* A secret password that activates a "power" mode. This gives you double
the firepower, more money, and more hearts.
* Volumes two and three of Robomaze II. In these new games you complete
your conquest of the Tower. You encounter new robots, face new
challenges, and see new graphics. With over 60 new graphics screens,
volumes two and three will delight and amaze you! These games are
available only to registered users.
* A free bonus game disk containing six classic video games.
Neither MVP Software nor the author of Robomaze II receives any compensation
from the purchase of the original diskette. There is over two years of work
in these programs. Please support our efforts to bring quality entertainment
to users at reasonable prices by registering your copy today. Use the order
form in this documentation manual.
Please copy and distribute the shareware version of volume 1 (The Lobby) of
Robomaze II only. Neither of volumes 2 or 3 may be copied, given away or sold
by anyone other than MVP Software or an authorized reseller.

Getting Started
---------------
Robomaze II accepts keyboard and joystick input. However, some commands must
be entered from the keyboard, while others can be executed using a joystick.
To accomplish your objective in the game you will be commanding the prototype
Stalker robot. The Stalker is capable of moving left and right, as well as
jumping. The gun that he carries can be fired at enemy robots. These are the
keyboard commands that control the Stalker's movements and other actions, and
the commands that call other game functions.
