Introduction

Down through the years it had been the dream of many to negotiate the damp tunnels and twisty passageways of the "Slaughter Caves" and some had even plucked up enough courage to attempt it, but despite all their stalwart efforts they had failed and the Dragon still stood guard over the fabled pile of treasure that had been the goal of them all.

Now it is your turn to brave the "terrors" of the caves and to attempt to wrest the vast wealth from the grasp of the mighty scaled beast. Can you make your way past the pit of snakes or defeat the guardian of the temple door? Will you be able to solve the puzzle of the closing doors or discover the whereabouts of the magic talismans?

You will have to do battle with the likes of Demons, Gladiators and Spiders in order to make progress through the dank and musty caves, where even a strong sword-arm and a willingness to battle to the end may not prove enough!!! Eventually, with a lot of luck and some very quick reflexes you may just be fortunate to encounter the fearsome Dragon ... but will you be able to solve its riddle ... Only time will tell!

May your sword-arm never weaken and your mind stay constantly alert ... Good Luck!!!

Tips

Be wary of doors that slam shut behind you and remember which way up stalactites are.
Save the torch until you really need it, so if necessary extinguish it as soon as you find it.
Last but not least, do *not* be greedy!!!
