* GAME PLAY *
*************
MOVE YOUR VEHICLE ON THE ELEVATOR TO THE DESIRED MINE SHAFT. ENTER THE
CAVE. AS YOU MOVE, YOU DIG THROUGH THE DIRT. YOU MOVE FASTER IN
PATHWAYS THAT ARE ALREADY CLEARED. YOU MAY SHOOT THE MONSTERS, WHO
ATTEMPT TO HAMPER YOUR PROGRESS. HOWEVER, THEY WILL REAPPEAR IN A FEW
SECONDS. THERE ARE EIGHT DIAMONDS IN EACH LEVEL. YOU MUST TAKE EACH
DIAMOND, PROCESS IT AND BRING IT OUT OF THE MINE. AS YOU TAKE A
DIAMOND, IT WILL FOLLOW BEHIND YOU -- KINDA LIKE SERPENTINE. THE
MONSTERS CAN EAT YOUR DIAMONDS ONLY WHEN YOU ARE CARRYING THEM. BUT
YOU CAN'T TAKE DIAMONDS IMMEDIATELY OUT OF THE MINE! YOU MUST PROCESS
THEM FIRST. THE PROCESSING BOX LOOKS LIKE THIS:
!-------------! BRING DIAMONDS
! !
! ! <<<---
! <> # ! --->>>
! !
! !----! TAKE DIAMONDS
! !
!(WAITING! <> = DIAMOND STORAGE
! AREA)! # = NUMBER OF DIAMONDS IN
! ! STORAGE AREA
!--------!
!

\ ! /
\ /
EXIT & LEAVE
DIAMONDS
TO TAKE THE DIAMONDS OUT OF THE MINE FOR THE MOST POINTS, YOU SHOULD
QUEUE THEM UP; THAT IS, MOVE ALL EIGHT TO THE STORAGE AREA AND THEN
MOVE THEM OUT. THE UPPER RIGHT IS AN ENTRY/EXIT AREA. DIAMONDS CAN BE
BROUGHT IN OR REMOVED FROM THIS AREA. THE BOTTOM IS AN EXIT TO LEAVE
THE DIAMONDS IN THE PROCESSING AREA.
YOU WILL FIND TWO "U" SHAPED, HEAVY BORDERED SQUARES. THESE ARE
TELEPORTERS. MOVING INTO ONE WILL TRANSPORT YOU TO THE OTHER.
IF YOU COMPLETE FIVE DUNGEONS WITH LESS THAN FIVE DIAMONDS LOST AND
STILL ARE ALIVE, THE GAME WILL GIVE YOU A PASSWORD. USE THE PASSWORD
LATER TO SKIP BEGINNING LEVELS. THERE ARE SEVEN LEVELS IN ALL.
