Chris-in-NJ Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I picked up a copy of this a few years ago (#30 for those who care for such things) and can't figure out how to play it. I've never been able to finish even one cave, even after reading the instructions. How do I explode a wall? If I can't figure out how to play it, maybe I'll put it up for sale...

Goochman Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 You need to collect a set # of diamonds (there is a # on the screen somewhere) - once you have done this a flashing box will appear which you enter to go to the next level. You can drop the boulders on the bad guys which will produce more gems (you need to do this on some levels) Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero on the other hand REQUIRES that you blow up walls to get to the end of a level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Drop a rock on an enemy while it is near a wall and it will explode, taking the wall out with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-in-NJ Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Figured out how to play it by watching the attract sequence, something I hadn't thought of before. Also found a webpage about it with lots of screenshots from the C64 version. Having said that, I still can't get the "magic wall" properly and chances are I'll be selling this pretty soon. I've still got the box and manual somewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
