In this port of the ZX Spectrum game Fred, Roland has to collect bullets, treasures and maps while climbing ropes to get out of a tomb/pyramid. Some villains can be destroyed (skeletons, bats, mummies) while some can only be forced to change direction (ghosts) and some have to be jumped over (dripping poison, rats, scorpions). The game was released for the Spectrum and the Commodore as well, and was later remade for the PC.
