Official description

You are Red Jack, Pirate King and the most stylish character in Fandonia. Having just found the Palace Treasury empty, Red Jack decides to investigate the dreaded Palace Dungeons, only to find himself trapped!

Your mission - SURVIVAL, ACCUMULATION OF WEALTH, SCRAMBLING EGGS.

Fight your way through 16 dungeon levels each occupied by weird and wonderful creatures, vampire rabbits, prawns, snails etc.

Avoid the chasers and their cooking pots or you could end up on the dinner menu. The monsters rather carelessly leave their wages lying around so help yourself.

The dungeon has Terraductile eggs scattered around it. Allowing them to hatch is not a good idea, so make sure you jump on them in time!

As you leap from flagstone to flagstone they crumble behind you leaving impassable gaps in the floor.

Luckily Red Jack has a few tricks of his own, like walking through walls and even making the dungeon floor shift beneath his feet.
