There are 5 skill levels, level 5 being the hardest.

There are seven keys to be found. Key one has to be found 
first, then returned to your starting place. Immediately 
that is done the bomb starts ticking. If you do not find the
bomb in time then you will lose a life, if you find the bomb
in time, you will then have to return to your starting 
place. Now you have to find key one and then key two before 
returning to your starting place. Then again you have to 
find the bomb. Now you have to find key one, then two, then
three. etc., etc., etc.

At the top of the screen you will see a radar screen which 
shows your position (solid white dot) and the monsters 
position (flashing white dot), use this to help avoid the 
monsters.

You start the game with a limited number of grenades, which
if used at the correct range will destroy a monster (the 
number of grenades you have are shown on the top left of 
the screen).

There are three floors to the maze, you always start of 
Zeta floor. The keys and the bomb can be on any floor. When
you are wandering around the maze you may occasionally see 
a key with a higher number on than the one you are looking 
for. You can only pick up the keys in numerical order. The
floors to the maze each have names:- Zeta, Alpha & Delta. 
To change floors you will have to find the lifts. A Red 
coloured lift will take you down. A Blue coloured lift will
take you up. When you find a lift, you will see the blue or 
red colour at the bottom of the picture. If you do not wish
to use the lift, just turn away. If you wish to use the 
lift, move forward. The lift is then automatic.

fact been drawn (although it is a roughly accurate
