Remarks by Magic Chris
DEATHMAZE 5000 HINT SHEET
Deathmaze requires you to find torches and food to stay alive. Give these
priority. Pits can get you to the next level if you jump into them, but you
may not be able to return to the original level. Some objects can be used
more than once. Events are often order-dependent. Something that doesn't
work on the first level may work later on the fourth level, or after you have
performed some other action.

Magic Chris' remarks:
-----
- You need the ball for the endgame, remember where you left it!
(I forgot and had to replay half the game!)
- Save Early, Save Often! It is difficult to draw the map, solve the
puzzles and still find torches and food!
- The name of the Monster in the Beowulf Saga is GRENDEL
(just in case you wanted to know, ;-))
