* Objective *
You are about to enter a cavern made up of 25 different
rooms. The objective is to collect as many points as
possible while avoiding roving monsters. You are given a
quest to locate certain objects somewhere within the vast
maze of rooms. Crusher is a strategy, arcade, and adventure
game all in one.
* * * Instructions * * *
Upon first loading the game, an opening screen will
introduce you to the cast of characters. You will then see
a square room filled with tiles. There are four exit doors.
You are located in room #13 to start. There are grey tiles
and red tiles. All the rooms have some grey tiles, yet the
colors of the other tiles will change as you proceed from
room to room.

Your man will be placed by one of the exit doors. To
move him around the room use the arrow keys. The grey
tiles cannot be moved, yet the colored ones can. If there
is a empty space on the other side of the tile, you can push
it to that area. This is how you can get to exits, grab
points, crush monsters.... Also in the room you will notice
(starfish like) monsters moving through the maze. Their one
objective is to eat you up, so you always have to avoid them.
To do this, you can push blocks in their way, better yet, trap
them and totally crush them, so that there are no spaces for
them to move. If you do this, you not only get points but the
monster will disappear and a special oxygen tile will then appear
somewhere in the chamber.
** Oxygen **
Oops! Oxygen... Oh yes, because this cavern of rooms
is so far underneath the earth, you will always need oxygen
to survive. Throughout the rooms, there are oxygen tiles
which you should grab, because if you run out of air...
well you guessed it... it's over!
** Diamonds **
There are also diamonds of different colors within the
rooms. Grab these and you will get points. Be careful
though, if a monster is on the other side of it. Remember
that he can't get to you by going through it, yet if you
grab the diamond....well then... you're fair game for him.
** TNT (bombs) **
The other objects which are found in the rooms are
sticks of TNT. These are not only great to blast through
walls with (grey also), but without them, you cannot
complete the game. To remove a wall, press the spacebar.
You will see a message that says dynamite activated. Press
the arrow key in the direction you want the wall removed.
If there is nothing there, then it will not blow. If you
decide not to use your valuable TNT then press the spacebar
again to de-activate it. These sticks of dynamite will be
your most important friend when things get tough. Every 250
moves of your man and a certain amount of points gained,
will deposit a few more tiles within the rooms (not in the
room you're presently in). Therefore get as many points as
you can, even if you've already reached the first objective
of 10,000 points.
*** Objectives ***
**** Okay now let's get down to the first objective. ***
When you begin the game, you will need to get at least
10,000 points before your first objective will appear. When
you reach this point, a special message will appear. READ
IT CAREFULLY! It will tell you about the Secret Spy MR.X.
He will then be placed somewhere in one of the 25 rooms.
You must find him so that he can give you directions to a Map.
This special Map will locate the Beautiful Eve. Boy... it's
always a maiden in distress. Actually she's in a dungeon, in
which you'll have to figure out how to free her. Eve tells you
that there is a Punk Rocker named Ted that has some very valuable
information regarding certain numbers. These numbers might just
be combinations to a Vault? Let's just say you have your work
cut out for you!
Simple huh...? heh...heh...heh...
* Story Line *
1. Get 10000 Points
2. Find Mr.X.
3. Find Special Map
4. Find Eve
5. Rescue Eve
6. Find Punk Rocker Ted
7. Find First Number
8. Find Second Number
9. Find Third Number
10. Find Vault
11. ?????????? (you win)
There are many strategies you'll use to get better at
the game with each try. For instance, when you see EVE in
the dungeon surrounded by walls and walls... (assuming you
even get that far) and you have no TNT, well go to another
room and try crushing monsters. Each monster you crush
removes some tiles from the dungeon. Another strategy is to
arrange tiles in a room before you leave, so that if a
monster is placed inside it, it's easy to trap him. There
are so many strategies, but you'll discover your own.
Each time you leave a room and enter a new one, there
will always be 3 monsters to face. Once you've left a room
the monsters will rejuvenate, even if you crushed some of
them. Perhaps upon entering a room, you don't like the fact
that the monsters are where they are, simply exit the room
again and re-enter. The monsters will have moved to
another part of chamber. Of course you use a little oxygen
up each time, but it's better then being a snack for the
monsters.
