Summary
Submitted by GeirS on 1 July 2022
STARTUP

This game has been compressed using ALZ64, and will take about ten
seconds to decompress before the title screen appears.

GAMEPLAY

The objective of the game is to lower a small hoist cage as deep as
possible into an old abandoned mine.

The hoist cage swings from side to side, and there are wood obstacles
on both sides which must be avoided to prevent damaging the cage.
When the cage gets too damaged, it will break off the hoist cable and
fall into the abyss, ending the game.

The hoist moves downwards at a constant speed, but you may halve or
double its speed by pushing the joystick up or down. Note that the
cage will take more damage if it hits an obstacle while moving at
double speed.

Beware: Some of the deeper mining levels contain old and unstable
dynamite, which might explode and severely damage the hoist cage!

CONTROLS

Use a joystick in port two:

Up: Halve the hoist speed temporarily
Down: Double the hoist speed temporarily

When the game has ended, press the fire button to return to the
title screen.

PAL/NTSC COMPATIBILITY

The game has been developed for and tested on PAL machines. It should
also work on NTSC, but will run faster.
