INTRODUCTION
Miner Willy, while prospecting down Surbiton way, stumbles
upon an ancient, long forgotten mine-shaft. On further
exploration, he finds evidence of a lost civilisation far
superior to our own, which used automatons to dig beep into
the Earth's core to supply the essential raw materials for
their advanced industry. After centuries of peace and
prosperity, the civilisation was torn apart by war, and
lapsed into a long dark age, abandoning their industry and
machines. Nobody, however, thought to tell the mine robots
to stop working, and through countless aeons they had
steadily accumulated a hugh stockpile of valuable metals
and minerals, and Miner Willy realises that he now has the
opportunity to make his fortune by finding the underground
store.
In order to move to the next chamber, you must collect all
the flashing keys in the room while avoiding nasties like
POISONOUS PANSIES and SPIDERS and SLIME and worst of all,
MANIC MINING ROBOTS. When you have all the keys, you can
enter the portal which will now be flashing. The game ends
when you have been 'got' or fallen heavily three times.
