You've got this far? Well done. We'll try to help you, but it'll be mostly down to you. Good luck on your mission. Oh, if you go left here, the game will be a little easier, but confident runners should go right.

Up there is the floor gun! It's the most vital tool for a runner. Use the Z key. It is used to dig through soft floor. But most of the floor here is too tough. Look for a floor you can dig through.

Welcome Ross. You are to become a Runner. Use this trial zone to familiarize yourself with your abilitys. Controls are arrow keys, and X to read signs. Your 1st task is : travel left and find a vital tool. Beware of Henry. He's out to stop you, so don't let him catch you.

You got through the soft floor. So you really want to be a runner? Then you must shoot lots of floor. To get past Gary, dig a hole with your gun and run over him.

A Runner's goal is usually to collect all the gems and then run to the exit. Use the teleporter and escape from the trial zone. Look for a long ladder.

I have to admire your tenacity. Too many these days give in when faced with the slightest hint of difficulty.

Turbo key is now activated. It's the c key. Use it to speed up the game during periods of inactivity. Besides turbo, the game now has to be played at a quicker speed.

Hello. Well done for getting this far. I just wanted to say, things don't get easy here on in. You'll encounter plenty of puzzling situations. Here for example, how are you going to get to the top with all those bad guys there? Patience, and cunning use of the map I reckon.

Later levels aren't just harder, they're played at a faster speed! Fast speed is optional for a while, but on later levels it's compulsory. Use F1 to switch between beginner \ normal speed.

Abandon hope all ye who read this sign. Retro runners have plenty of lives. So dying often isn't a prob. Use the tab key to suicide. Tab can be used to exit interludes and movies you've already seen.

Come here when you've collected all the jewels, otherwise use the teleporter.

If you read this sign, it might a good idea to briefly go down that ladder on the left. Yep.

What are you doing down here Ross? Looking for something special? Sorry not much here. But if there are any Special levels, yes, complete them as soon as you can.

A medal? For finding this sign? hehehe. You've a very long way to go yet. Some say there was once there a runner who was so amazingly skilled, he won a gold medal, but that's not possible these days I reckon.

Ross, you know your score, right? Well you'd find it helpful to attain the 500 quota. But you'll find it hard to attain the hard quota.

How many lives does your new found friend have, according to myth?

Ross, I've used up nearly all my battery power to fly out here. I know it's unlikely, but if you get here and my auxilary light is still on, you should recharge me using the power cell in your gun. If my aux light has faded, there's no point in reviving me. Ross, once you've lost the chasers in the forrest, you must get back to a tech sector and log in as pilchard10, then wait for help.

As long as we, the East cavern Defenders remain within the east cavern, no one can take the jewels there.
