Description from the packaging.

A swirling whirlpool of arcade action!
A treasure chest of bewildering puzzles!

The poison-filled tentacles of a gleaming jellyfish suddenly appear in front of your faceplate. You dodge to the right, leaping to the top of an algae-covered crate. There it is! The Esmeralda's gold!

A glowering stingray races straight at you. Your air supply is running low. What else could go wrong? Plenty!

  • Sidestep stingrays, dodge crabs, elude electric eels - you're the main course at this underwater lunch.
  • Plunge through 100 multi-level rooms, moving chest, riding barrels and chasing crustaceans to scoop up a fortune in gold.
  • Your brass diving helmet helps you breathe, but only the mind inside can figure out the unusual paths to the gold.
  • Capture friendly fish - they can help you in a tight spot.
  • Pick up keys to enter new rooms - knowing which key to discard, and when, can make you rich - or keep you searching!
