TIPS AND TRICKS

• An extra man is awarded for collecting 20 treasures without dying.
• Bring all five map rocks to the map vault room before inserting them. This will make it easier to remember which ones you have tried.
• Save one flask of acid as a defense against the mummy.
• Leave one cache of acid flasks in an exposed vault room as an emergency supply.
• Sam can only carry five flasks of acid at a time. If you pick up more you will lose the excess.
• When you are exploring the long columns of rooms keep an eye on your air timer. Only explore half of the rooms at a time.
• Remember where the magic herbs are.
• Position Sam's nose under the hole you wish to try when attempting to insert map rocks.
• Remember. Sam can only exit a room if he is WHITE or YELLOW.
• To pause the game select the B/W TV type. To restart the game select the Color TV type.
