*CONTROLS
Control Pad-Moves Rockford up, down, right, or left.
Start Button-Press this button to start the game when the opening
screen appears. If you leave the opening screen on for about thirty seconds, a
demo of the game appears. Press the Start button to return to the opening screen
and start the game. If you need to pause the game while you are playing, press
the Start button. To go back to the game, press it again.
Buttons A and B- If you move the Control Pad up, down, right, or
left while you're pressing the A and B button, you can dig mud or pick up one
diamond next to you without moving in that direction. You can also push a
boulder away from you, without moving, using this technique. When you are
trapped and can't move in any direction, hold down the A and B buttons at the
same time for more than one second. This allows you to escape from the town and
return to the entrance of the World you are now in. But you will lose one
Rockford when you do this.
Select Button-Press the Select button to choose between One
Player and Two Player, and press the Start button to decide. Press the Control
Pad right or left to choose your character's color, and press Start. To enter
your password, press the Control Pad right or left to move the cursor sideways,
press the Control Pad up or down to change the number on the cursor, and press
the A button when you have entered your pass- word. If you are playing the game
for the first time, just press the A button when the password screen appears.
The next screen shows you which world you are on. Press the Control Pad to
choose which town you want to go to, then press the A button. Press the A button
again, and the game starts.
When your game is over you can choose whether to "END" or
"CONTINUE" that game. On the same screen, your password will appear.
Write it down for next time, so you can begin playing from the same world where
you left off.
As Rockford, the hero of this game, you have six Worlds to explore on your
quest. Each World has four towns. Your goal is to collect the required number of
diamonds in the towns of each World. The number of diamonds you have to collect
is shown at the top left of the screen. After you collect them all, a door will
appear which leads to the next town. When you have completed the four towns of a
World, you can go on to the next World. You decide in which town you should
start in each world.
NOTE: Each town has its own unique tricks and puzzles which you must solve in
order to win. When you use your password to begin playing in a World where you
left off before, you must go through all four towns, even if you completed some
of them before.
You begin the game with four Rockfords - one to play, and three in reserve.
With every 2000 points you earn, you receive an extra Rockford. Rockford loses a
life when he touches an enemy or something falls on him. You can cause rocks or
diamonds to drop by digging a hole under them. Be careful not to drop them on
yourself, or they will crush you. Some enemies turn into nine diamonds when they
are hit by an object you have dropped. You can move a rock until it touches
another object to block it. You can only move rocks which have empty space on
the other side of them, and only one rock at a time.
