= DROP ROCK - by Vince M. Hudd - (c)1992 Soft Rock Software =
=============================================================
Background
----------
Scrolls. They get thrown around everywhere. In the caves; in the snowy
mountains; in the warehouses; everywhere. Someone must collect them all.
Don't want a job, do you? Chief Scroll Collector for the newly formed Scroll
Collecting Company. It pays well, and you get a special allowance for
headache tablets - which you'll need if any rocks drop on your head.
You'll take it? Oh, thats fantastic! What? Um, no, we don't supply any
protective helmets. Budget cuts and all that. I'm sure you understand.
Instructions
------------
You need to collect all the scrolls that have been discarded. Unfortunately,
you can leave no rock unturned. And when you leave no rock unturned, quite
often, the rocks that you haven't left unturned have a habit of falling!
Mind they don't block your path, or fall on your head.
Some of the discarded scrolls have, quite mysteriously, managed to get locked
in safes! To get at these you must collect all the keys. Some of the safes,
though, are actually empty, so opening them may simply result in any rocks
above them falling.
Other scrolls have undergone a miraculous transformation: they've evolved
from harmless bits of paper into Yellow Devils. These are deadly to touch,
but you must coax them into cages to turn them back into scrolls for
collection.
You must also collect the crystal, before you can proceed to the next level.
