NAME

       scavenger - a plattform game for X

SYNOPSIS

       scavenger

DESCRIPTION

       Scavenger  is  like  Lode  Runner.  You’ve  got to run around gathering
       objects while avoiding enemies. You can dig down through  some  of  the
       blocks  to  get  at  buried objects. After you’ve collected everything,
       ladders may appear.  To finish the level you’ve got to exit through the
       top  of  the  screen. If an enemy falls into a dug brick, he is stunned
       for a while. If the brick fills in with him in it, he is killed, and he
       will reappear at the top of the screen.

       This  version  has  a level editor for designing your own levels, and a
       graphics editor for drawing your own artwork.

OPTIONS

       This command has no options.

       As of version 1.3 you can remap the controls. In demo mode hit space to

       hit escape the key is unchanged.
