PLAYING THE GAME
The goal of Gordian Tomb is to find the secret treasure room. This room is located somewhere in the tomb, where many dangers await you. Throughout the game there are 8 items you need to collect. Use these items to unlock areas that will otherwise remain inaccessible, and navigate through the dangerous obstacles you encounter to collect the ultimate prize!

Use the directional keys (LEFT, RIGHT) to control your hero. Press FIRE to jump. To select an item, press [1] to [8]. This will only work if you have the item in your inventory. Pressing [0] will deselect the currently selected item.
