The Pyramid Commodore 64 game

"The Pyramid, like most new pieces of software, comes complete with a high-speed loader to minimize waiting times for players to enjoy the game. Another attractive feature of this game is the abundance of instructions and information included. You can also find a high-score form within the literature.

The program itself is about 'Ziggy' (that's you), navigating through bizarre chambers filled with a variety of dangerous creatures. Your mission is to collect crystals when they appear and drop them on the force fields guarding the next chamber. Ziggy can only pick up crystals when they are in their harmless state. If Ziggy picks up a crystal before it becomes harmless, some of the shield power is used up. The shield power is constantly decreasing due to alien encounters.

If your energy reaches zero before leaving the chamber, the game ends with an explosive finish. However, if you manage to score more than 30,000 points, you'll receive a code that can be sent to the software company. If your score is high enough, they'll include you in their list of the top 1,000 scores, which is published every six months.

In general, this is a very enjoyable game with decent sound effects. Enjoy!"
