PROBLEM SHOOTING
****************
We have tried to make "Pharaohs" as desktop friendly as
possible, but, due to the nature and size of the game, we do not
recommend that you run it with other applications resident - as a
precaution.
1MB users should use the !OneMeg application.
2MB users should *MANUALLY* Quit all applications
PS. The game will work while applications are resident but you might
not get the best out of the sound effects or music, as there might not
be enough memory in the system for the game to work with all it's
potential.
RiscPC and A7000 owners please use the !RpcRun Application, running
this will enable you to have a Mode 49 screen, (Acorns official games mode.)
GAMEPLAY
********
This game is totally mouse controled.
The basic idea of this game is to seek and rummage your way through the
Pharaohs secret tombs, before your energy runs out.
Each time you discover one of these tombs your energy supply is replenished
and your score will increase depending on the amount of energy used.
At the end of each level you will be awarded a bonus score and an extra life.
There are many different options you can choose from to make this game more
exiting.(Please click over the options Icon on the games main menu), for more
details.

All in all the presentation is as good as anything I have seen
from the commercial sector.
If you don't own a standard shoot-'em-up then this is worth
considering, especially with an average saving of £23 against the big
boys.

THE LAST CYBERMOCH
*******************
ACORN USER.
-----------
A platform game at heart which involves the main character leaping
from ledge to scrolling ledge while avoiding or obliterating, the
aliens which happen to get in your way. There's an energy meter that
drops throughout the level, and you have to replenish this as you
progress by shooting blocks and collecting the energy tablets that
fall from them.
