Skull And Crossbones
====================

Skull And Crossbones
--------------------
Join One Eye and Red Dog on a voyage of discovery through eight increasingly difficult levels in an attempt to retrieve your ill-gotten gains from the Evil Sorcerer.

Along the way you will find chests full of treasure, golden goblets, sacks of coins and other priceless items which will help you in your quest. Walk over them to colect.

You will also come across skulls and crossbones under which are hidden treasures - to dig these up, you will have to move onto them and press the Fire button. The more valuables you collect, the stronger you will become.

Should you fail to pick up treasure, your power will soon diminish and your enemies will become harder to defeat. Goodies essential to your survival and health may be found, such as grapes and bottles of rum.

You start the game with three credits - each time you die you will forfeit one.
