-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Join forces with Graham Crackers, the world's greatest super-
hero, as he enters a museum on an espionage mission. He is to
find a micro dot containing top secret information. The dot is
attached to one of the pieces of art found in the 90 rooms in the
museum. Graham Crackers' mission is complete after he collects
the last piece of art.


MUSEUM TOUR

After the title screen displays a demonstration tour will begin. It
is recommended that you take the tour of the museum before
playing the game. You will be able to see the rooms in game level
one and some of the objects being discussed in the instructions.
The tour will repeat until a key on the controller is touched.
Continue the tour until the title screen displays.

As you look at the screen you see a cross-section of the museum
and Graham Crackers, the super-hero.

As you can see, each screen of the museum has three floors.
Graham Crackers is running through a room on the second
floor. When he gets to the end of the first room, the screen
changes. He enters the room on the second floor and rides the
escalator down to the first floor to continue the tour. Each time
the screen changes Graham Crackers enters a new room on the
same floor.


GAME PLAY

Graham Crackers must jump over dangerous robots and narrow
openings in the floor. If he falls through without landing on the
floor below, he is eliminated.

Graham Crackers will need keys to unlock doors. He collects art
and keys as he runs past them. After he collects all art in level
one he advances to level two. There are three levels with two
difficulty levels to complete in the game. Level one is red, two is
blue, and three is green. There are 10 screens in each level. After
completing level three, level one continues with one and one-half
minutes between art and keys. Game play is also faster.

Escalators and the elevator are found in various rooms. You
must help him find and use these to get to each floor of the
museum. Skillfully avoid the various stompers and robot
guards. The robots are drones, sweepers, and roving monitors.
They are awaiting Graham Crackers in various rooms.
