The Game

The more tombs (mazes) Fred explores, the tougher the going. The number of monsters increases and they get meaner and faster.

Monsters

Rats: These run through the labyrinth, the only way to avoid them is to jump at the right moment.

Acid Drops: From the decomposing mixtures of the Egyptian Magicians. Careful timing is needed to get past them.

Ghosts: Beware, they can go through walls. They change direction when shot.

Chameleons: They can be passed by climbing the rope on the opposite side, but they can change sides too!!

Mummies: They fall through the vertical corridors. They can teleport when they stop falling or are hit by a bullet.

Vampires: They chase through the maze and can stop flying or even develop a high speed. They can be stopped by being shot.

Skeletons: They chase relentlessly, and can only be stopped by being shot.
