GAME:
You play the part of Ug the caveman who, in his quest for
fresh Pterodactyl eggs, has decided to explore all of the 
other islands that he can see from his cave. Eventually he
hopes to reach Spike Island which holds many oppurtunities
for anyone brave enough to risk the dangers of such an
exploration.
You must collect 3 eggs from an island before progressing to
the next, each island being more dangerous than the last.
Only 1 egg can be carried at a time and this must be taken,
unbroken, to your cave.
Eggs will be broken if you fall into the fast-flowing river
that criss-crosses your route home. Along the journey you may
find extra rocks to throw and fruit to replenish your energy.
Points are awarded for fruit and rocks collected, Dinosaurs 
and other enemies clubbed or stoned and eggs returned safely
to your cave. High scores can be recorded on the high score
table by using the keyboard to enter your name.
                                                             
Good Luck
