Whilst searching the catacombs you will do battle with ghouls, vampires, swordsmen, dragons, dire wolves, dark warriors and assassins(to name a few). Ward them off with magic swords, magic shields, potions and numerous other spells.
Plot
You, Mighty Thor have been bent to steal back the ancient Magic Staff which is hidden fifteen dungeons beneath Cairo. There is a alight hitch however within each dungeon lie ferocious demons and monsters of all kinds which will hinder your search.
Within each dungeon lie numerous objects, spells, treasures, deep pits, traps etc which in some cases way help in your quest for the Staff.

You will also gain Experience Points by slaying enemies. To protect yourself from vicious attacks you will begin with certain Potions and Spells. You will also be given 150 Hit Points. When duelling with enemies you lose Hit Points according to the strength of your opponent. When Hit Points reach zero then the game is over.
Warning: Do not return to the Pyramid above dungeon level one until you have the Magic Staff.
Objects you will come across: Temple : This is whore you sacrifice your precious Rubies for Experience Points.
Rubies : Collect these to sacrifice at Temple
Stairs going down: When you have enough Experience Points you can go down to the next dungeon by pressing fire button while on stairs down.
Stairs going up: When you have the Magic Staff, go back up the stairs to the pyramid.
Trap or Treasure: When landing on this you may find a spell that will help you or perhaps an explosion that will hinder you, that's the chance you take.
Beacon: This is a spell that once east puts a controlled teleport trap into action that will teleport you to the nearest temple when the trigger is pressed.
Tutankhamen's Staff: Found only on dungeon level fifteen.
During game play, the pressing of the fire button will result in the listing of all spoils and potions unless you are on the stairs. To activate spells and potions, move arrow to desired spell or potion listed and press fire.
