Scuba Kidz

arcade collect'em up game for Commodore 64, 1988

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the evil Sea Lords has kidnapped some of the Kidz and is holding them
in an undersea chamber! As the best swimmer, you have been asked to save
them. Swim through eight reefs, unlocking the Sea Lord's doors and fighting
the fish with your bubble gun. Be careful, as some routes you may take will
leave you high and dry!

Controls:

Joystick in port 2, SPACE pauses.

Hints:

The items you can pick up are, AIR TANKS, BUBBLE GUN, DOUBLE BUBBLE, BUBBLE
UP'N'DOWN, A CUNNING DISGUISE, KEYS, and FAST FLIPPERS.

You must have an air tank, you must also pick up all the keys, and don't waste
any, for you will need all of them! Swimming to the surface (if you can) will
replenish your air supply. Parts of the coral can and must be shot to get
through them. If the timer runs out, all the doors will open, but you will
lose all your keys. Avoid the mines, as you will lose lots of air if they
explode. Kill fish, except for the angel fish (the one with the halo!), as
touching this will up your air supply. Just before the end of the level, top
up with air for your battle with the Nasty Shark - Shoot him several times to
kill him, but don't let him bite you!
