Starting the game

Disc: cycle through gameplay options
Side keys: choose selected option

Note that pressing Up on the disc will occasionally behave like pressing one of the side keys, i.e. it'll choose the current option instead of cycling to the next one. Pressing Down instead avoids this annoying glitch.

Exploring

Disc: move through maze
Top side keys: fire projectile weapon; use item in hand
Bottom-left side key: enter pack mode
Bottom-right side key: enter pack mode

Pack

Disc: move cursor
Top side keys: use selected item; open doors; descend stairs; activate and toggle status display; exit pack mode (by selecting spot #2 in inventory)
Bottom-left side key: drop item on ground (note: doesn't work in some spots in the maze)
Bottom-right side key: select weapon; exit pack mode (by selecting blank spot in inventory)

Battle

Disc: move toward/away from enemy; move cursor when selecting items in pack
Top side keys: swing weapon; use item in pack
Bottom-left side key: open pack to bribe monster with item
Bottom-right side key: open pack to select weapon

The Intellivision keypad is unused in Tower of Doom, with one exception: press 1 and 9 together to pause the game.
