Full Instructions
Introduction
Find the golden sundial in time and space - and it's yours!
Free appalling hypnotic disco theme music plus fully animated cartoon graphic displays.
With music score, colour and sound effects too!
Gameplay
The Golden Sundial of Pi has been hidden in Time and Space. Will you be the first seeker to locate this fabulous treasure, and be awarded with the exquisitely-crafted original, made from gold, diamond, lapis lazuli, obsidian and niobium.
Enter the bizarre continuum of Pimania, where saxophones turn into hangliders, where music meets madness and where the Pi-man rules supreme. He'll befriend you, he'll betray you, he'll even sing and dance for you! It may take you a week to play, it may take you a lifetime.
