HERE'S HOW TO PLAY
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: If you are playing a two-player game, players take turns. Player 1 goes first, and each turn lasts until the player's Winky is eliminated.

STEP 1: Getting ready for adventure.
Press Reset and the Title Screen appears. Press any Keypad Button and the Game Option Screen appears. Choose a one- or two-player game by pressing Keypad Button 1, 2, 3 or 4 by pressing the corresponding Keypad Button, and then press the ENTER button and the Treasure Screen appears.

STEP 2: Down to the dungeon.
After the Treasure Screen is shown, Winky appears in the dungeon hallway. All around him are treacherous Hallmonsters. Winky cannot shoot them, so stay clear!

STEP 3: Search and seizure.
Move Winky into one of the dungeon chambers to capture the treasure within. Once inside, fire arrows at the attacking monsters. Remember - if Winky even touches a monster, living or dead, he's eliminated.

STEP 4: Off on a treasure hunt...
Quick, explore every chamber before the Hallmonsters appear. Don't despair; when monsters force Winky to leave hastily, he can slip back in for another try at capturing the treasure.

But when he does, Winky has even less time to snatch precious treasure. The Hallmonsters pursue him faster than before!

Once Winky has his treasure and leaves a chamber, he never can return.

STEP 5: Hidden dangers.
Some chambers have special challenges. As soon as the Hallmonsters move into the Wall Room, the treasure disappears. In other chambers, monsters appear and disappear at surprising times!

STEP 6: Deeper into the dungeon.
When Winky has plundered treasure from all the chambers on a dungeon level, then Winky ventures to a deeper dungeon level.

SCORING Treasure 200 points (to start) 
Chamber Monster 100 points (to start) 

The farther into the dungeon you venture, the more points you earn for each treasure taken or monster eliminated.

Each player receives five Winkies per game. Every time you successfully complete a level, check the Treasure Screen to see how many Winkies you have remaining. A bonus Winky is awarded a player at multiples of 20,000 points.
