Diamond Hunt (2005 on VIC-20)
Description
Diamond Hunt is an LCD game with three screens, part of the tri-screen series. It's a jungle adventure themed game where you play the role of a jungle explorer who has to retrieve a giant diamond, starting at the bottom screen and working his way up.
- The bottom screen is the first screen, here the jungle explorer has to cross the water by jumping onto a swinging vine, while avoiding falling rocks. Cross the water and don't get hit by the bouncing rocks and climb up to the next screen.
- In the second screen in the middle, the jungle explorer has to cross a field and enter a cave that is guarded by a lion. At the same time, a jungle tribe is throwing lightning bolts at you and an elephant is throwing rocks, which also fall down into the first screen. Enter the cave when the lion is not in front of it to move onto the final screen.
- In the third screen at the top, the jungle explorer has to run uphill to the large diamond, while avoiding snakes both on the ground and in the trees. Jump over the snakes or temporarily grab the ax to kill the snakes for bonus points. Make it to the top to grab the diamond and the game restarts from the first screen at the bottom.
Each screen has its own miss counter, meaning that in the bottom screen you can fall into the water of get hit by the rocks max. three times but this is separate from getting hit three times in second screen, or getting bit by the snakes three times in the third screen. The game can be played either in normal mode going through all 3 screens in succession, or each of the screens can be played as an individual game. The device has a D-pad and buttons located alongside the bottom screen. The top screen can fold onto the middle screen for easy portability. There is a built-in clock and alarm function.
