Full Instructions
Playing The Game
The object of the game is to complete the 40 screens by collecting all the "rewards" (i.e. Hamburgers in the American screens, fruit in the Africa screens, etc) and dodge all the "monsters" (i.e. Bandits on the America screens, tribesmen in the Africa screens, etc).
Each screen may have a maximum of four transporters which cause Repton to re-materialise in another part of the screen - but each transporter may only be used once.
