Notes: From page 2 of the Instruction Manual:

The Player is a Gladiator who must complete six pyramid battle rounds before he can fight a 3 headed dragon in the "Beasts Challenge" round. The first 5 rounds can be played in 2 ball multiball or by time as determined by the "Begin Pyramid Round" lamps. "Calm Before The Storm" is a 2 or 3 ball multiball round and Round 7 "Beasts Challenge" is an untimed 1 ball round. Rounds can be entered from plunger skill shot, mystery, and "Begin Pyramid Round" hole.
