I don't have it, but basicallt it was a variant of Mr. Do! (if you know that
old arcade game)
It was a CGA game that ran way too fast on my 286/16, but with moslo it could
probably do nicely even on todays machines.. If you are also unfamiliar with
Mr. Do!, you are chased through an underground warren by creatures, while you
gather gems. You have the ability to dig through rock, while in general the
enemy does not. You also have a "powerball" which can destroy an enemy, but
everytime you use it, it takes longer to recharge. clear a board by killing all
the enemies or by collecting all the gems (in mr. do!, they were cherries, not
gems, but the premise is the same)
