Official description

Many have tried to rescue the power jewels from the creepy mansion on the top of the hill. None have lived to tell the tale. Now it is up to you to try to wrest the treasure from the mansion's deadly inhabitants. Run through the Spectre's Lair, Horrid Hall, the Spiker's Parlour and Death Tower. Leap over the poison-smeared spiker scampers along the moving platforms and contracting floorboards, run past boucing spiders, and use the powerful springs to proper you onto overhanging ledges.

Consuming the yellow titbits eams you extra points and eating a stray power jewel causes the ghost(s) to disappear for about 15 seconds. A bonus score in the top right hand corner of the screen counts from 50 down to zero. If you don't reach the top of the screen within this time limit you lose a life.

You start with 4 lives. An extra life is awarded every four screens.
