-
- * Objective *
-
- You are about to enter a cavern made up of 25 different rooms. The
- objective is to collect as many points as possible while avoiding roving
- monsters. You are given a quest to locate certain objects somewhere
- within the vast maze of rooms. Crusher is a strategy, arcade, and
- adventure game all in one.

-
- * * * Instructions * * *
-
- Upon first loading the game, an opening screen will introduce you to the
- cast of characters. You will then see a square room filled with tiles.
- There are four exit doors. You are located in room #13 to start. There
- are grey tiles and red tiles. All the rooms have some grey tiles, yet
- the colors of the other tiles will change as you proceed from room to
- room.

-
- Your man will be placed by one of the exit doors. To move him around
- the room use the arrow keys. The grey tiles cannot be moved, yet the
- colored ones can. If there is a empty space on the other side of the
- tile, you can push it to that area. This is how you can get to exits,
- grab points, crush monsters.... Also in the room you will notice
- (starfish like) monsters moving through the maze. Their one objective
- is to eat you up, so you always have to avoid them. To do this, you can
- push blocks in their way, better yet, trap them and totally crush them,
- so that there are no spaces for them to move. If you do this, you not
- only get points but the monster will disappear and a special oxygen tile
- will then appear somewhere in the chamber.
-
- ** Oxygen **
-
- Oops! Oxygen... Oh yes, because this cavern of rooms is so far
- underneath the earth, you will always need oxygen to survive.
- Throughout the rooms, there are oxygen tiles which you should grab,
- because if you run out of air... well you guessed it... it's over!
-
-
- ** Diamonds **
-
- There are also diamonds of different colors within the rooms. Grab
- these and you will get points. Be careful though, if a monster is on
- the other side of it. Remember that he can't get to you by going
- through it, yet if you grab the diamond....well then... you're fair game
- for him.
-
-
- ** TNT (bombs) **
-
- The other objects which are found in the rooms are sticks of TNT. These
- are not only great to blast through walls with (grey also), but without
- them, you cannot complete the game. To remove a wall, press the
- spacebar. You will see a message that says dynamite activated. Press
- the arrow key in the direction you want the wall removed. If there is
- nothing there, then it will not blow. If you decide not to use your
- valuable TNT then press the spacebar again to de-activate it. These
- sticks of dynamite will be your most important friend when things get
- tough. Every 250 moves of your man and a certain amount of points
- gained, will deposit a few more tiles within the rooms (not in the room
- you're presently in). Therefore get as many points as you can, even if
- you've already reached the first objective of 10,000 points.
-
-
-
- *** Objectives ***
-
-
- **** Okay now let's get down to the first objective. ***
-
- When you begin the game, you will need to get at least 10,000 points
- before your first objective will appear. When you reach this point, a
- special message will appear. READ IT CAREFULLY! It will tell you about
- the Secret Spy MR.X. He will then be placed somewhere in one of the 25
- rooms. You must find him so that he can give you directions to a Map.
- This special Map will locate the Beautiful Eve. Boy... it's always a
- maiden in distress. Actually she's in a dungeon, in which you'll have
- to figure out how to free her. Eve tells you that there is a Punk
- Rocker named Ted that has some very valuable information regarding
- certain numbers. These numbers might just be combinations to a Vault?
- Let's just say you have your work cut out for you!
-
- Simple huh...? heh...heh...heh...
-
-
- * Game Over *
-
- The game will end, if you lose all five of your men. The game will also
- end if you run out of oxygen before you complete your mission. The
- oxygen gauge, and the other important statistics, are always shown at
- the bottom of the board.
-
- You don't have to finish the whole game each time to win. You are
- trying to accumulate the highest score possible before either you have
- run out of air, lost all your men, or opened the Vault. 10 top scores
- are recorded for posterity.
-
- This game is not easily completed, but you'll have fun trying. The best
- way I feel to learn any game is to just start playing. This way you'll
- get a feel for the action. Pictures are worth a thousand words... so go
- to it !!
