Tut's Tomb
==========

Game Objective
--------------
The object of this fast action game is to guide your intrepid adventurer through the ancient, mystical
tomb of the great Pharoah. Collect the magical keys that lead to unbelieveable treasures as you
outmanoeuvre the dangerous creatures that slither and swarm through the passages. 

Your score will depend on the number of treasures you can collect and the length of time you survive. The 
incredible graphics in this 16-screen epic will have you believing you are actually there!

The position of the right joystick controls your movement on the screen. Play begins at the left of the
screen as you enter each chamber. Collect as many treasures as possible before exiting at the right to
the next chamber. You will encounter a number of locked doors which cannot be opened without a key. You
may carry only one key at a time and a key symbol will appear at the top of the screen whenever you are
carrying one. When you successfully reach the final treasure the game will start over at a more difficult
skill level.

If any of the monsters catch you, one of your men will be destroyed. Remaining men are displayed at the
top right of the screen. You may defend yourself by pressing the joystick button which fires your weapon.
Direction of fire, left or right, will depend upon the position of the joystick when you press the 
button. Note that firing up or down is not allowed. Observe that when the countdown timer at the top of 
the screen reaches zero, your weapon will no longer fire. The timer is reset each time you successfully
open the large door to a major treasure. You may also defend yourself by firing a flashbomb which
instantly destroys all the monsters on the screen. A bomb symbol next to the timer shows whether you have
a flashbomb. A new flashbomb is awarded each time you open the large door to a major treasure or each
time one of your men is destroyed.
