White on red was never my favourite combination, but I'm glad I read the instructions. This game proved enjoyable and addictive. It's an unusual adventure-like program which is fast and reconfigures itself for each game.

Whilst on a walk, you get lose and follow a stream to the mouth of a dark, hidden cave. You decide to follow it downstream where an evil-looking man forces you into the save to find a golden ring. The Guardians warn of dangers as you seek the five pieces of the ring - in order. Don't linger too long, or it will collapse on you! End of game!

Screen left shows cave data for the 16 caves - which one you are in, exit used and key part (if any); screen middle has map and lives left; while screen right has inventory, key parts left and scoring. Screen bottom says what happens, offers movement options and asks instructions.

You are instructed to draw a map of your route - and a separate insert gives simple hints and an example. This is necessary if you are to enjoy this game and find the ring.
