In the rooms you’ll have to pick up objects I’ve left, such as crosses, tins of beans, a Buddha, a dragon statue, a pumpkin, a flask and also crates that you’ll need to get over obstacles! At the end of the maze is a spellbook that will turn you back into a human again.""Sounds easy" you say to the Evil Wizard. "Does it now!

Caverns of Mars	Atari Program Exchange	1981	[b]MARS DECLARES WAR![/b] [b]TERRA IV SURROUNDED; HELICON FIGHTER INVADES CAVERNS OF MARS[/b] MARS - In a sudden move that caught the entire Solar System by surprise, the Martian galactic fleet today surrounded the planet Terra IV and demanded immediate surrender. A statement issued by Ixglobpt Ugzibniac, the Supreme Commander of the Martian forces, confirmed the military maneuver and added that the situation on Terra IV was "under complete and total control." Neutral observers, however, report that the Terra IV High Command was able to send a single Helicon VII fighter to Mars, where it is presumed to be invading the Martian Headquarters deep within the twisting and treacherous Caverns of Mars. The Helicon VII is an advanced fighter armed with twin laser torpedoes, capable of destroying the Creon and Pyxias Rockets used to defend the Caverns. Intelligence sources speculate that the Helicon ship may have to penetrate between two and five Caverns of Mars, depending on the skill level of the pilot, in order to reach the Martian Headquarters. Once there, the fighter will likely attempt to activate the deadly Fusion Bomb that is the keystone of the Martian Defense system, and escape back through the Caverns before the bomb explodes. In addition to the Creon and Pyxias Rockets, the Helicon fighter must also overcome Laser Gates and Space Mines to reach the Martian Headquarters. Experts agree that this mission is possible, but requires the utmost skill and daring on the part of the pilot. Dr. Milton Megaton, Senior Fellow at the Angletron Institute for Galactic Studies in London, offered an assessment of the military situation. "If the Helicon fighter pilot is to have any hope for survival, he must keep his hand on the joystick and his eyes on the tracking screen at all times. Frankly the Caverns of Mars would be extremely dangerous to navigate even if they weren't so well defended. One slip and it could be 'kiss your protons goodbye.'"* [151]* [132]* [125]* [48]*RX8021 16k cartridge published 1981. Common.
