==== FROM THE ENGLISH CASSETTE INLAY ===
========================================

Return to an age of mistery and intrigue, to a palce in
which the fabled treasure of King Solomon shone
brightly with its glorious wealth. Where amongst the
network of mysterious rooms lies the next key that will
bring you nearer to these fabulous riches. Where
amongst the stone pillars and hidden dangers lie
mythical creatures that can perpetuate your life, long
enough to reach your ultimate goal.


======================================
==== HOW TO PLAY      ================
======================================

Solomon's Key is a platform game with both action and strategy
elements. On each level your goal is to retrieve a key which
can then be used to unlock the exit. To help out, you have a magic
wand which can be used to create and destroy blocks (though some blocks
can't be destroyed). In order to reach the key you will need carefully
to arrange the blocks on the screen so you can jump your way around
safely. Wandering around each level are a variety of enemies which
will cause you to lose a life if you're caught. Some creatures can
be killed by destroying the block they are standing on, others must
be dodged. Hidden bonuses and magic can be found on many of the levels,
sometimes even hidden in blocks. Some treasures give you bonus points,
others can form magic spells to help deal with the enemies. To make
the game more difficult, each level has a time limit in which it must
be completed.
