The objective in Repton 1 is to collect all the diamonds on each

screen avoiding the falling rocks and lurking monsters.  You have a

limited amount of time in which to complete each screen:  the TIME

indicator starts at 6000 and decreases down to 0: you then lose a

life.  You start with 3 lives.



There are 12 screens (denoted A to H).  Basically, each screen

requires you to solve a series of puzzles by determining your route to

collect the diamonds.  A rock or an egg will fall if it is unsupported,

and if a falling rock lands on you it will kill you.



On screens A to H, a map is available for viewing.  Only a small part

of the full area covered by the map is shown on the main screen at

any time.  On screens I to L, there is no map available.



Screen A is relatively easy to complete.  After the screen has been

completed, a password is given.  Entering this password at the start

of the game will then take you straight onto screen B.  Likewise,

passwords are given at the completion of all further screens.



From screen B onwards, eggs, safes and keys are present.  When an

egg falls, it cracks upon landing and a monster emerges.  Contact

with the monster is fatal.  The monsters are killed by falling rocks.  In

order to open the safes, the key must be located.  When you pass

over the key, all the safes open to reveal a diamond.



It is possible to complete each screen without losing a life.



		REPTON 2 - GAME PLAY



In order to complete Repton 2, you must:



	(a) collect all the 4744 earth sections;

	(b) collect all the 1634 diamonds;

	(c) kill all the 18 monsters;

 	(d) use all the 64 transporters;

	(e) collect all the 42 jigsaw puzzle pieces; and

	(f) collect the "finish character" which is position at

	    the top right-hand corner of the first screen.



Each level requires you to solve a series of puzzles by

determining your route carefully.  The puzzles are often

craftily constructed, and some involve a time element.  A

rock or egg will fall if it is unsupported, and if a falling rock

lands on you it will kill you.  Contact with the monsters,

spirits, meteors or skulls is also fatal - you have 3 lives.  There

is no time limit to any section of the game.



Scattered through the 16 levels are all the jigsaw pieces

of a 42 piece puzzle.  When each piece is collected it

reappears at the bottom of the first screen to give you a

secret message.



The surface of the first screen cannot be accessed

immediately because the way is blocked by 5 skulls, 5

puzzle pieces are also inaccessible due to another 5 skulls.

These skulls do, however, disappear.  One pair disappears

when each of the following tasks is accomplished:

collecting all the earth; collecting all the diamonds; killing

all the monsters; using all the transporters; collecting 41 out

of 42 puzzle pieces.  The surface of the first screen can then

be reached and the "finish character" collected.

EGGS & MONSTERS



When an egg falls, it cracks upon landing and a monster emerges.

Contact with the monster is fatal.  Monsters are killed by falling

rocks.



SAFES & KEYS



Some diamonds are hidden in safe which can only be opened by

locating and moving over a key.  When a key is collected, all the

safes on that level open to reveal their diamonds.



TRANSPORTERS



The 16 levels are linked by transporters.  Each transporter may only be 

used once, and it always transports to the same position on the

same screen.



SPIRITS



On many levels, there are up to 8 spirits.  Spirits always follow the walls

to their left until they reach a cage.  When a spirit enters a cage, it

changes into a diamond.  Therefore, to complete the game, you

must also cage all the spirits.  Spirits are normally immune to any

falling object.  However, it is sometimes possible to daze a spirit by

collecting all the diamonds from directly around it or by dropping

boulders onto it.  This is to be avoided, as the spirit will then move

endlessly in a small circle.



METEORS



Meteors fall from above on 6 levels of play.  Two other levels are also

open to space, but no meteors fall from the sky.



SCORING



Each earth section scores 3,4 or 5 points.  Each diamond scores 6

points.



THE STATUS CHARACTER



On some levels, there is a "Status Character". When this is moved

over, the current status screen is displayed.

tricks of championship boxing.  One and two-player options.
