- INSTRUCTIONS
-
- You are a highly trained commando sent by the Farturion Empire
- to reclaim a stolen cache of Farturion Diamonds. They were stolen
- by a group of Raven Warriors from the dark world Yranus.
- The diamonds are being held in an underground warehouse deep
- beneath the vile surface of Yranus. The warehouse has 5 rooms
- (25 in the registered version). You must pick up all the diamonds
- in each room to progress to the next level. Each room will be
- heavily guarded. The guards have no weapons, but since they are
- such vile creatures, if one of them touches you, you're history.
- Your only weapon is a portable proton accelerator that allows you
- to blast large holes in the floor which the guards (and you) can
- fall into. The holes will "heal" after a certain amount of time.
- If a guard is in a hole when it heals, he will reappear at the
- top of the room. If you are in a hole when it heals, you're dead.
- You have 5 lives at the beginning of the game. You gain 1 life for
- each level you complete. When all lives are used up, the game exits
- to DOS.
-
- The arrow keys control your direction (up, down, left, right).
- The "Z" key blasts holes to the left.
- The "X" key blasts holes to the right.
- The "A" key aborts the current life. (use for no way out situations)
- The "ESC" key exits the program

- Good Luck!
