TIPS AND TRICKS

* An extra man is awarded for collecting 20 treasures without dying.

* Bring all five map rocks to the map vault room before inserting them. This will make it easier to remember which ones you have tried.

* Save one flask of acid as a defense against the mummy.

* Leave one cache of acid flasks in an exposed vault room as an emergency supply.

* Sam can only carry five flasks of acid at a time. If you pick up more you will lose the excess.

* When you are exploring the long columns of rooms keep an eye on your air timer. Only explore half of the rooms at a time.

* Remember where the magic herbs are.

* Position Sam's nose under the hole you wish to try when attempting to insert map rocks.

* Remember. Sam can only exit a room if he is WHITE or YELLOW.

* To pause the game select the B/W TV type. To restart the game select the Color TV type.
