Start by running forward down the tunnel. Enter a room and see bars in the middle blocking the entrance to a hole. Go south and pick up red shotgun shells. Go north and pull down a wall switch to open a door. Enter the tunnel and shoot two wolves. Follow the tunnel to a room with many doors.

Go west and pull down a wall switch to open a door. Enter the tunnel and go forward to the end. Climb down a wall ladder into a deep hole. Go south and see several traps over a deep pit. You can see gongs at the south wall. Do not shoot them. The right side gong does nothing. The left side gong start fires on the south ledge.

Time the swinging spike bars and wait until the closest swinging spike bar is at the high point to the left. Run and jump onto the left side of the middle column. Continue running and the second swinging spikes should be out of your way. Run and jump to land on the far ledge. Enter the tunnel and pick up the revolver off the floor. Do the same wait, run, jump, and run trick again to return to the starting ledge. But this time, do it on the right side. The left side has a knife blade that can damage you. Climb the wall ladder and return to the room.

Go to the north wall and pull down a wall switch to open a door. Enter the tunnel and jump over a hole. Ceiling spikes will damage you. Go forward to the top of a waterfall. There are rocks in the ceiling. Slide down the right side and stop. A rock falls in front of you. Continue forward to see another rock in the ceiling. Jump north-west into the middle trench. Run down and onto the bridge. There are no more falling rocks. If you fall into the water, pull up at the south-west corner.

Cross the bridge and three spike bars start to swing. Slide down on the left side. You fall down a deep shaft and land in water. Pull down the underwater lever on the east wall. Swim north through the open underwater gate. Pull up into a long room with more swinging spike bars. The side trenches are fire traps. Use stand jumps to get around the swinging spike bars. There is a safe tile between each one. Enter the next room and pick up the laser sight and Mayan mask from the floor.

Go north through a crawl space. Stand up and climb many blocks. Go to the right and climb down a wall ladder. Turn around and shoot three natives and a raptor as you go south up the steps. Use the pistols and not the revolver. Save the revolver ammo for later. Continue up the steps and into another block section. You can shoot two natives on top of the blocks from the safety of the lower blocks. Then climb the blocks and slide down a slope. A door opens and you drop in the room where you started.

Combine the revolver and laser sight and shoot the hanging gong in the middle of the room. The door in the east wall opens. Shoot a green dinosaur and follow the tunnel to the end. You may have to shoot an empty vase if the vase blocks you path. At the end, go north and pull down a wall switch. The door opens above the switch. You get a flyby of the next room with deadly water.

Pull up onto the ledge and go left. Save the game in front of the timed wall switch. Pull down the wall switch and go to the edge. Ignore the wall crevices. Just run and jump onto the tile in the deadly water. Run and jump north to grab a ledge and pull up. Go north through the open gate before the gate closes. Go down the steps into the next room. Go north to a hole and turn around. Look up to the south and see an upper alcove with a hanging gong and knife blades. Shoot the gong to raise a block in the hole beside you.

First go to the north-west corner and pick up a small medipack. Go to the north-east corner and pick up a shotgun. Go to the south-east corner and shoot a raptor. Go to the south-west corner. Side jump over a plant and pick up flares. Jump back into the room and now hop onto the raised block. Stand jump to grab an upper north ledge and pull up. Pull down the wall switch to open the large doors on either side. Do not enter the tunnels yet. Lure three raptors out onto the ledge and shoot them. If you are lucky they will appear one at a time.

There is also a T-rex stomping around somewhere. Enter the right door and you can see parts of it showing through the east wall. I think it was stuck in the wall. Go to the right and watch out for the knife blades. Go to the right and to the east wall. Pull down a wall switch. You may also need to shoot a native that is stuck on the knife blades. Go back to the entrance and enter the left tunnel. Watch out for floor blade trap and go left through an open door. Go north and place the Mayan mask on a receptacle. Go north to the wall and turn around.

Climb the wall ladder on the south wall in the hole above you. Follow the tunnel to the south. At some point you will have to safety drop to get into a lower tunnel. Follow the tunnel and drop back into the starting room. Shoot two raptors and notice that the gate over the hole is open. Drop into the hole and the level ends by crashing to the desktop.
