  Gosh, I've had this game a while now and never followed up with a review.

  I like this game !  If you like the puzzler type games then this definitely
one to consider.

  There are a total of 32 levels, levels 17 - 32 require a password.  The
password is given to you after you complete level 16.

  I've found that a few levels are fairly easy but others are much more
difficult.

  This game features the 'edit' capability like in the PC versions if you've
ever played them.

  There is also a two-player version but alas, I've not yet been able to
try it out.  (Video Link via modem ??? Hmmmm....)  :^)

  On a scale of 1 to 10 I give this game an 8.

433.2Definitely NOT RecommendedCARTUN::VALENTINEWed Aug 08 1990 20:0221
    I got this game to take on a trip and it is POOR!  I was looking for
    something similar to Castlevania/Supermarioland and the description on
    the box suggested it was what I was looking for.  It wasn't.  I played
    this thing for 6+ hours and couldn't get past even half of the first
    screen.  Now I'm no expert, but I can usually figure these things out
    after several tries, but this game is a loser (or maybe I am).
    
    It's sort of a maze game where you are chased around the screen by a
    robot(?) while you try to pick up piles of gold.  Some of the piles are
    imbedded in the walls, floors, etc and you have to figure out how to
    dig up certain portions in order to get at the gold.  However, the
    portions you dug up start to fill back in after a few seconds, and if
    you are not quick you get trapped or killed by the robot that keeps
    coming back.  The order in which you dig up the floors is critical, but
    I could never figure out how to do some sections.  You can't go to the
    next screen (there are 16 of them) until you get all the gold in the
    current one.  If #1 is this tough, how tough must the other 15 be??
    
    I gave it up.  If someone wants to try their luck, I'll sell it cheap!
