PANAMA JOE
(Sinclair Research)


Montezuma's Rap

This is the place where PJ's gone
You wan to walk with him, step right along
Down in the ground buried for an age
Is a pyramid and that's our stage
Let's act!

Way down here's where Montezuma lived
So let's find out how he protected it.
Well, there's fire and flame all over the place
Step in there and you'll singe your face,
It's a pit!

Hey! Dodge that skull - mind that snake
You walk on him and your bones'll ache!
Leap that chasm - climb that rope
If you fall off you'll feel a dope
It's a drop!

Well I think that I've been here before
Only thing is I didn't use that door!
I think that I'll retrace my steps
Grab that key and go onto the next
It's a maze!

Now this here game takes a lot of doing
But Panama Joe just keeps on going
He's got five lives and they could prove
To be just enough to reach the treasure trove
It's a steal!


LOADING
To load Panama Joe type LOAD"" and press ENTER. Then start the tape.
(The Spectrum manual gives step-by-step loading instructions.)


PLAYING
When Panama Joe has finished loading you will be offered a Joystick
selection screen:

2 selects Protek
3 selects ZX Interface 2
4 allows user defined keys

The ZX Interface 2 joystick is the right-hand one and uses the control
keys: 6 to move left, 7 to move right, 8 to move down, 9 to move up
and 0 to jump.
(Any joystick with a 9-way D plug can be used with the ZX Interface 2.)

If you want to reconfigure the joystick controls select option 4.
This allows you to use any keys except:
CAPS SHIFT and SYMBOL SHIFT
which are reserved;
J, K and L which select game levels 1, 2 and 3;
P which pauses and releases game play.

room. The inventory window in the top left shows the number of lives

route and not used.
