One head of cattle per level depth will added every time you descend. (One for leJ}vel one, two for level two, etc.) The reverse is true as you ascend. A head of cattle, equivalent to the level will be subtK}racted. As a result, if you walk down to the tenth level, and back up, ten head will be added to your herd. The affect can L}be quite different if you elect to use magical means to teleport down, and then walk up!If the is encountered, he wiM}ll cast a spell of varying powers over you. Subsequently, a series of unpredictable occurences will begin. These will last N}until a puff of blue smoke indicates that the spell has expired. If you have a , the Wizard cannot cast a spell oO}n you.Wearing a will make you quite lucky, and you'll be able to avoid many (but, not all) of the potentP}ial disasters such as traps and falling rocks.Slipping the on your finger will protect from oxygen deprivation, aQ}nd you will be able to go deeper and stay longer without serious respiratory problems.Many creatures, such as snakes and spR}iders, will deliver a poisonous bite. While most are not capable of delivering an instantly lethal amount, if you are alreadS}y partially poisoned when one bites you, it can be the end of your adventure.Rats abound throughout the mine. While their T}bite usually does not inure you seriously, many are infected with the plague, and you can become infected with the dreaded raU}t-bite fever. While rest will will put the disease into remission, the only true cure is gained by eating . (It cV}an also be cured magically by the Bell, and there are a few benevolent rats that will cure the disease by licking you, but thW}ey can be hard to find when you need them.)Other fungi also grow on the cavern walls.

Anywhere below the 5th level, rats in [}large numbers may attack. Not only will they wound you significantly, the chances of contracting the plague from so many bit\}es is much higher. Below the 15th level, bats live in abundance, and may attack with devastating consequences to your health]}!And, of course, if the legends are true, below the 20th level lives the .Their are various gases that m^}ay suddenly seep from the walls.

AustinAustin-@4GAME PREMISE:You are a lowly native in the impoverished village} of Ferndalia. From the first moment you saw her, you have been madly, hopelessly, eternally in love with the king's daughte}r. Now, you have but one goal in life, and that is to wed this beautiful princess.The king is agreeable to the wedding, bu}t only if an adequate dowry is paid for his only daughters hand in marriage.But, you are penniless...poor...poverty-stricke}n!In Ferndalia, the medium of exchange is cattle, so you must acquire a herd large enough to satisfy the kings greed. The }only way you can amass a herd a cattle is by purchasing them at the cattle sale. But, how do you obtain the gold necessary t}o do this?There is but one source of wealth adequate enough to win the princess. The ancient, abandoned gold mine not far }from the village. There is still gold in those shafts, just waiting for the intrepid miner to dig it out.However, there is} a very good reason why the mine was abandoned while there was still ore to be dug. Years ago, a fearsome beast suddenly app}eared in the deeps of the tunnels, and began terrorizing the hapless miners until none would return.No one is certain if th}e Beast of the Deep is still in the mine, but it is known that the years of abandonment have resulted in dangerous disrepair }and other deadly denizens have taken up residence, including the fearsome shaft wolves who have moved in and now live in the }desolate shafts and dark tunnels.And, what of the princess? Her feelings are well known. She has said she would wed any m}an that would demonstrate profound love for her. How to do this? In an undeniable demonstration of bravery, sincerity and c}hutzpah by tolling the Bell of Wondrous Things!This legendary Bell is rumoured to be located somewhere deep, deep within th}e network of caves beneath the mine itself.Oh, yes... There is one other thing! She wants a diamond ring! How could you }afford such a costly bauble? You could hope for magical means to gain one, but the wait for the vagaries of sorcery could ta}ke forever. She points out to you that one is reportedly hidden in a canvas bag deep within the mine. You could go there an}d get it, couldn't you?No matter how large your herd, the king will refuse to give you an audience until you have met the d}emands of the princess! You must first toll the bell, and give her the diamond ring before he will give consideration to you}r proposal of marriage.Few foolhardy souls venture into the mine now, and even fewer return.But, you love the Princess, a}nd there is no other route to her nuptial bower...WHAT'S NEEDED TO PLAYTo enter the Gold Mine, you must have an 8-bit At}ari computer with BASIC installed, at least 48K capacity, a disk drive and a sincere willingness to risk all to win the princ}ess.Of course, it wouldn't hurt to have a deep and abiding love of cows in large numbers.HOW TO PLAYThe game is divide}d into two playing arenas, the village and the interior of the mine. When in the village, there is an on-screen menu to guid}e you. Beneath the surface, the action is command driven. The commands are initialized and easy to remember after a few gam}es. Enter an "H" at any time that you are in the mine to get the HELP screen to assist you in your decisions.Only a single} key stroke is necessary to trigger the action, and there is no need for depressing the key. The only exception to thi}s is when you are at the cattle auction. After deciding upon how many you wish to buy or sell, use the key to submit y}our bid. To exit the sale, if you decide the current prices are not to your liking, simply offer a bid of zero. When cattle} prices are high, you may elect to not purchase any, but instead take advantage of inflated prices by selling some of your he}rd. If you decline to purchase, buyers may offer to buy some of your herd. If used judiciously, this type of speculation ma}y help you build your fortune a little quicker.The village also offers you the opportunity to rest. This will result injur}ies being healed, and the effects of poisoning to be lessened, although usually one rest period will not cure you completely.} It will also reduce the effects of rat-bite fever, although it will not cure it.You may also inspect your herd if you cho}ose to. You'll find that many things can occur, ranging from births adding to the number of cows you own, to rustlers plying} their thieving trade. It will also calculate the current market value of your herd.You will have the chance to stash away} in a secure hiding place any coins that you may still have after the cattle sale. It is wise to do this before returning to} the mine. Not everyone in the village is a nice guy, and marauding thieves along the path to the mine delight in sharing yo}ur wealth if you are careless enough to carry gold with you when head back to search for more.The game offers a rich variet}y of options, be certain you are selecting the wisest course of action with your final decision!!TREASURES, CREATURES and }PITFALLSThere are many possible encounters within the mines interior.There are quite a number of different creatures livi}ng within these dark halls and byways. Some are benign, others rather malevolent. Some can be both, dependent upon circumst}ances. It is up to you to determine which is which. Among others, there are the feared Shaft Wolves. They are huge, jet-bl}ack canines with eyes like pools of glittering ink and teeth honed to razor sharpness. There are rats and bats and spiders a}nd snakes and nameless slimy things. All of the lovable types of beasties most likely to be encountered in dark, damp, musty} places.And...possibly still alive...the Beast of the Deep.There are many legendary treasures believed to exist within th}e mine's passages. Village folklore says that there was once a marvelous wizard held captive in the mine and forced to creat}e wondrous tools and artifacts; Golden pick-axes, magical rings and many others. There also is a disturbing tale that says} this wizard is still alive, but driven mad by his long confinement, and prone to cast chaotic spells upon anyone he may now }encounter.The early miners feared the Shaft Wolves so much that they set many traps for them. These traps, and the general} disrepair of the mine create other rather interesting risks...Even in days when the ore was being mined heavily, leaking t}urbulent gases were a major health hazard. There is no reason to believe these gases have dissipated.All in all, an intere}sting place to spend your work day...PLAYING TIPSThe beginning character is quite weak, but every action taken adds to hi}s strength. At the game's inception, you will not be able to remain very long in the cave before you begin to experience bre}athing problems. You'll also find that you will not be able to carry very much gold ore. However, as you toughen and get in}to better condition, these will no longer be problems.Your chances of finding gold, and the amount you may uncover, depends} upon how deep you are. The further you penetrate into the mine's shaft, the more likely you are to find ore, and the larger} the amount that will be gained. If you look for gold at a given level, and do not find any, this does not mean that none is} there. Repeated searching may result in success.There are a variety of monsters you may encounter, and a dazzling array o}f treasures you may acquire. Be conscious of the game changes as a result of these variables, for the consequences can serio}usly effect your chance of success in your romantic mission.As an example, it is possible to contract the dreaded Rat-Bite }Fever from the attack of some, but not all, rodents. Although the disease seems to hang on forever, and seriously curtails y}our ability to mine ore, it can be cured in several different ways. It is up to your miner to discover these methods.There} are a number of different fungal growths and leaking gases in the mine. These, also, can have a profound effect upon your l}ife-span. One of the gases will cause you to stagger in a daze until your mind clears. If you wander in the wrong direction} while under the influence of the gas, it can prove embarrassing. The fungus growth, if eaten, can cause several effects, in}cluding a mind-bending instant trip to the cave bottom!The magic items will take effect immediately upon possession. Their} abilities include, among other things, protection against falling into traps and old shafts.The fabled Bell of Wondrous Th}ings was cast by the Wizard, and, when rung will cause any number of things to occur. The magic of the bell is so powerful t}hat it needs time to recharge between peals, and can not be immediately rerung.Be cautious in your meeting with the beasts }of the mine. While most will nibble upon you, others will protect you, or even sniff out gold for you!Keep in mind that, w}hen offering your herd to the king, he will consider the current market value of the collection, and not just how many head a}re there. It makes sense to buy when cows are cheap, but wait to make your offer until the prices are high! Remember, if yo}u bother the king with repeated pleas to accept your cows, or insult him with a small offering, he can became rather irritabl}e.Many of these activities can result in some bodily damage. It is wise to periodically check your physical condition (inp}ut the letter "C") and not work if you're severely wounded or feeling the effects of poison in your system. Regular rest in }the village will solve these problems and permit recuperation.In short, the world of the Gold mine is a complex one, with m}any shadings and subtleties as well as dangers.
