That's not the pit, that's a downstairs section that you can and should go into. You will see what the pit is... Seriously though, you roam through the screens trying to survive and grab as much loot 'treasure' that you can find. Fun game.... ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played a few games with my son just now. It's pretty fun! We weren't able to locate any treasure though. I can see how this one basically invented a genre.

Go left your right (left is easier), and you'll see them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe any treasures are sitting in tunnels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiffMan Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) 5824 This is my highest ever score (since I've never played this version), I survived for nearly 90 seconds (I have *way* more time left on the clock than that other score that was posted above!), and it is impossible that I will be beat in this game. Any comments to the contrary will be considered a direct attack and will prompt me to wreak havoc on the forums in retaliation. What? Too soon?

fakecortex Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I always loved how the treasure has an arrow that blinks above it, haha. Also, you go through so many screens just to get 2 of em and I feel like I'm in a repeating mario bros type castle maze. 9,680 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall the game being all about how far you can get before time runs out. Much less about survival than speed, although obviously a lack of survival will result in scores like mine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just learned that every screen you advance via underground tunnel is equivalent to three screens up above... ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had totally forgotten that. That does ring a bell in that I thought I had previously memorized where you should go underground, where you should come up, and the occasional bit of backtracking to get a bypassed treasure. Crap, now you've got me totally overthinking things. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
