Thunderbirds (c) J.Cain & K. Moughtin 1985 Firebird software The game Transcription of confidential brief from Mr. Tracey to Scott and Virgil... Well boys, it looks as if you'll need both Thunderbird One and Two for this mission. John tells me that the Egyptologists are trapped deep within an ancient maze tomb. You'll have to work together to move huge stone blocks that are barring the way. I expect you both to use your skills of logic and navigation to get those trapped men out as quickly as possible - the oxygen is getting thinner by the minute. Apparently the previous group left fuel dumps within the tomb together with some priceless treasure. You'll need the fuel and if you can get the treasure then so much the better. Before you take off decide what equipment you need. John hasn't given me that information so you'll have to gamble on taking the right stuff. I'm counting on you boys.... Loading 1.
