HELLFIRE
(Melbourne House)

Re-enact the trials of Ulysses in this fast moving arcade game with a
difference. Climb the slopes of Olympus, avoiding the falling boulders
and the destructive stare of the Gorgon, and outwit the minotaurs in
the Temple of Knossos - only to be trapped in the maze, where lurks
the reptilian Assassin and the Fireball Thrower. Can you avoid all
these perils and join your peers in the Elysium Fields?

The gods have set you a number of tasks which you must complete to
prove your worthiness.

FIRST TASK
Climb the ledges to get to the cave entrance. Jump from ledge to
ledge, but one slip could be fatal. Watch out for falling boulders
which can knock you off a ledge. Use your shield against the Gorgon's
deadly stare.

SECOND TASK
You are in a sacred temple inside the mountain. There are a number of
minotaurs on guard, past whom you must sneak. Running from pillar to
pillar will transport you to another part of the temple.

THIRD TASK
Find your way through the maze and attempt to locate the exit. Use
your mace to kill the monsters and break exits open. Extra maces can
be found in the chests scattered throughout the maze.
