( PC conversion done by the one and only FOX of TAQUART! )

,.- Introduction -.,

This is a game based on the classic arcade from 8bit Atari machine. It
| looks and works perfectly same as the original. The graphics is converted,|
:  but the code is written from scratch, 100% assembler. I'm sorry there is |
no sound in this game. It is hard to make the sound perfectly like
| original on all PC sound cards. I didn't want to put some primitive bells :
via internal buzzer, so the game is completely silent.

,.- System Requirements -.,

:                      - 64 Kb conventional memory ;-)                      |
- 8 Kb free disk space ;-)
- a 386 or better machine
|  I've used 32-bit registers, but the program does NOT check for the CPU   :
| and probably hangs on 16-bit processors. The program will work on 386, but|
:   it maybe not fine if the graphics card is slow. Sorry, the code isn't   |
optimized for speed at all.
|                      - a VGA card                                         :
The game uses 320*240*16 mode. This mode should work on all cards. You
probably don't need to adjust your monitor - there sholud be pretty big
| frame on top and bottom of the screen (like on Atari), so don't remove it.:
:  You may complain of ugly colours in the game. I know they are not very   |
beautiful, but I wanted the game to look like the original, so I used the
| colours which my Atari generates. The other thing is that my Atari has a  :
PAL TV-system. The game works on PC like on PAL-based Atari which may be
:                       different from a NTSC Atari.                        |

,.- Game Controls -.,

:               Game may be controlled by the keyboard ONLY!                |
|                        On the title screen press :                        :

- ESC to back to DOS
- LEFT/DOWN arrows to select cave
:                        - UP/DOWN arrows to select level                   |
|                        - ENTER to begin game                              :

:                          During the game press :                          |

- arrow to move the man ( you can use numeric keypad too )
|  - CTRL+arrow to take things from the neighbouring fields without moving  :
:                                  there                                    |
- CTRL to restart if you failed
- ESC to commit suicide
:                        - SPACE to pause/resume game                       |
|                        - ENTER to back to title screen                    :

:   I'm sure you will know what to do in the game. You just need to take    |
diamonds and go to exit. Be careful of stones and monsters. In some
cares there are also some interesting things, for example a 'magic' wall.
:                     Play the game and check how they work.                |
