QUEBOID - By Paul Dolphin ½ 1987.

The  basic  aim  of the  game  is  to 
complete each screen by reaching  the 
lift  down  to  the  next  level   as 
quickly as possible.
This  will normally involve  avoiding 
various  hazards and collecting  keys 
to open doors.
You  can  also collect  'dead'  bombs 
which  can be primed and  dropped  by 
pressing the fire button.

Control  is via a joystick in port  1 
or  the cursor keys with # acting  as 
the fire button.
Other keys -
  P - Pause game
  Q - Self destruct (can be useful)
  F1 - Auto scroll on/off
  SPACE  - Centre  display  if  auto 
           scroll off 

SCORING

At the completion of each screen, one 
point  is  scored for every  unit  of 
time left. Points are also scored for 
picking    up   keys,    bombs    and 
hourglasses,  the  number  of  points 
awarded  being shown by the  PICK  UP 
heading.  This  value restarts at  10 
every time you lose a life.
Hourglasses also give you an extra 50 
units of time.
An  extra  life is awarded  when  the 
score  reaches 2000,  then  at  4000, 
8000, 16000 etc.
Every  time  you  lose  a  life,  the 
amount  of time you have built up  is 
halved.
You  can lose a life in a variety  of 
ways,  including allowing the time to 
reach zero.

HINTS

Lifts  (exits)  look  like  pulsating 
blue squares.
Objects are collected by moving  onto 
them.
Bombs  are dropped into empty  spaces 
'in   front'  of  you,   ie  in   the 
direction you last moved.
Force fields (wavy red lines) can  be 
safely    passed    through    either 
horizontally  or vertically  but  not 
both.
Diagonal movement is actually a  zig-
zag (very useful to remember).
Primed  bombs explode  when  anything 
moves    onto    them,     destroying 
themselves and the surrounding area.
Only    one   type   of    wall    is 
indestructible,  everything else  can 
be blown up.
The functions of everything else  are 
best discovered by trial and error.

Pressing the HELP key during the game

          GOOD LUCK !!!
