The game



You must collect the 4 objects that are

scattered by the bottom of the sea, and when

you have them all, bring them back to the boat. This

is the goal. To do this, you must be careful

not lose all your oxygen. You lose it by

touching plants or insects that swarm

by the sea... Well, that and the fact that being under

water makes you lose it slowly.



To retrieve it: rise to the surface or collect

bubbles hidden somewhere...every

bubble will give you a life, ie, 100 units

of oxygen. You start with only 100 units, and

as you're losing oxygen you'll get

sick... So look for oxygen!



You can shoot a harpoon to stop the bugs

for a while, but these are limited. When you get

objects you get a harpoon. Take care of them, they are

necessary.



Inside the boat you'll find some levers to

activate, phantomas style. No, not that

our favorite thief pops out in the game ... when you

activate the levers, doors open on the boat.

You'll see a marker that tells you things.

Pay attention to it, not least because it was

hard for us to do it!

History

--------



Ferdinand W. Templeton is the reference archaeologist

at Michigan University. His major findings

in such exotic places as Egypt, the Philippines, Mexico

or Ribagorza have made him an authentic idol

of fifteen-year graduates and retirees in need of adventure

by the style of the famous Rick Dangerous. Shame

that money is scarce and he can't continue doing

more expeditions to such places, to get more

treasures. No sponsor...you know.



However, there's a light on the way: his

upcoming marriage to the rich, beautiful and powerful

Alabama Governor, Mary Lou Kapowsky. Of course, if

they end up marrying...because his bachelor party

on Costa Daurada has been the biggest party over

land that's remembered, not even the Expo. Too many vodkas

with orange...and his most prized pieces fell on

the seabed. All four of them. Namely, the

Chinchonitzá mask, the Ebro Jewel, the Sacred Parchment

of Ahamaramu IV and Pitiminhí XIX 's flower. Those

he was about to give the rich, ugly and powerful father of Mary

Lou, the ex-Alabama Governor Lester H. Kapowsky

III, an offering of good will for him to accept

his marriage with his daughter, after 13 fruitless

hand requests.



And there you are, with your fear of water (it's not the

same being an expert fearless archaeologist or an

distressed diver apprentice) on your speedboat

praying to find the four pieces that

will make you to finally marry your mistress, and also

get money to search liquidity to meet the quest for

fame and treasure for the rest of your life.



So, throw yourself into the water and search for your treasures

for your sake. But remember, you will not last

much time under water without breathing! Beware with

octopuses, jellyfish and killer piranhas. And with the plants,

'cause they are very treacherous.
