The time is 1870, an era when nations sent their best explorers to discover new lands, brave fierce animals and explore unknown civilizations, all with the purpose of claiming these newly found lands for their respective mother countries. One of these explorers was Dr. Livingston, who abandoned his original quest to fulfill a personal desire, that of rediscovering the lost temple of Am-Zutuk. This temple was home to a great magic, which when looked upon could give a man great wisdom and power. Unfortunately, the temple was also home to ghosts and demons. During his grand expedition, Dr. Livingston disappeared. It is up to you, newspaper reporter Henry M. Stanley, to find the good doctor and possibly uncover the mystery of the lost temple. You begin the game equipped with a backpack (which contains an auto-gyro copter for soft landings), Dr. Livingston's notes and your fists.
