In “Hoards of the Deep Realm”, you are the hero who must retrieve stolen treasures hoarded in the underground caverns of the Deep Realm. During play, you must dodge and out-manoeuvre the fiery wraiths that guard these treasures. At the start, you are at the lowest level of the Deep Realm and must work your way up through as many levels as you can.

The game has 50 levels and includes a command mode from which players can design their own levels. The game was fully compatible with colour and monochrome models of the Microbee. (See manual)

Version information:

The game is part of both the Microbee Software Preservation Project (MSPP) collection and the Microbee Beeboard.

Vaughan Clarkson has pages from the game’s manual on his website.

The Microbee game was later developed for the Palm Pilot by Aaron Ardiri.
