On August 3, 1999, Spectrum Zone, the predecessor of Computer Emuzone [CEZ], was launched. So, we are celebrating our 25th anniversary, and it is worth saying so, even though we have not been able to prepare anything special. We will continue here as long as we can. Thanks for everything!

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.
Power: Fred's strength is maximum at 15 and reduces by one each time a monster hits. Two extra units are gained each time the magic elixir of Nefertiti is drunk and when he reaches the exit.
Weapons: Fred has a gun and six bullets which he can replenish en route. He cannot shoot whilst climbing a rope.
Treasures: Varying in value, they may be picked up by just walking over them, with bonus points on exit.
Map: A map is displayed when Fred discovers one in the maze. Fred is in the centre.
Screens: There are six screens, increasing in difficulty, followed by the option to return to screen 1 or redefine the maze. The number of monsters has to be defined with two figures, e.g. 09, etc.
