This is a shortened/revised version of the syndocs.bas file that originally accompanied this program:
"The... slow-ness of our hero... was done purposely, because you will need to be able to control him in a pinch.
The object of this game is not to score points or shoot all of the monsters, but to make your way down to your spaceship. There are 3 ball-shaped keys for each level, and they'll be in the same place every time, so mapping the cave is a good idea. The doors to the next level down will be blocked until you find all three keys on a particular level. After getting the three keys, look around the outer rooms in the maze to find the entrance to the next level.
An M-shaped "Mysterian" appears from time to time. Most of the time when you touch it, you will be given a blue shield which gives you an extra life (you can only wear one shield at a time). Occasionally, however, you will die if you touch it. It is your decision.

Validate, blue monsters are 'breeders.' They spawn the smaller, oval beings. As you work your way down to the levels, you will notice their breeding activity increasing.
