JASON'S GEM ----------- Strategy arcade game involving skillful control of your spacecraft through five screens, then jump climb and manoeuvre your way through the other 10. The Aim of the Game ------------------- The epitaph inscribed on poor Jason's tomb, Does not speak of his eventful life, But of his careless doom, 'On embarking on his mission he was given chances four, but the gem was undisturbed, (For he needed somewhat morer!)' How sad a tale of failure for one so close to glory, But you could yet rewrite the history of this story ... Guide Jason, in his spaceship, onto the teleport platform. Once you have landed successfully you will gain bonus points because you will automatically pick up the cargo aboard the platform. You must then shoot your way through the five caves that lead to the lower platform where you must again land safety. Once you land you will be able to carry on from here on foot and search through the many caverns ahead for your lost gem. Controls 1. Keyboard: Z - Left: X - Right SPACE - FIRE/JUMP; Q - Quit 2.
