Description

The player assumes the role of Simon the Hero, who must navigate through ten mazes in search of the diamond. Simon must gather certain items—a key and a lock—in order to reveal the doorway to the next maze. Each maze is completed when Simon escapes through the exit.

During his journey, Simon must avoid the various enemies in order to stay alive. The enemies along travel in a constant path at different speeds. This makes them somewhat predictable, and they can be avoided with good timing and a proper strategy. Simon has the ability to run, which can be used to help avoid the enemies. Simon is also vulnerable to other static dangers; he will die if he comes in contact with the electric walls throughout the castle or if too much time is taken to complete a maze.

In addition to the key and the lock, there are other objects that can aid Simon on his quest. The potion of life is introduced in the eponymous "Potion of Life" level and reappears in the levels "Dark Walls" and "Black Room". Collecting the potion gives the player an extra life. The lantern appears only in Level 8 (Black Room) and allows the player to see the illuminated layout of the maze. The potion and lantern are very helpful, but they are not required in order to complete the game.
