To help out, you have a magic wand which can be used to create and destroy blocks (though some blocks can't be destroyed).
In order to reach the key you will need carefully to arrange the blocks on the screen so you can jump your way around safely.
Wandering around each level are a variety of enemies which will cause you to lose a life if you're caught.
Some creatures can be killed by destroying the block they are standing on, others must be dodged.
Hidden bonuses and magic can be found on many of the levels, sometimes even hidden in blocks.
Some treasures give you bonus points, others can form magic spells to help deal with the enemies.
To make the game more difficult, each level has a time limit in which it must be completed.
A few changes exist between the NES port and the Arcade original.
A few enemies were either removed or replaced with these changes making the game easier.
The NES version has 48 stages compared to the Arcade's 44.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Solomon's Key [5 Screw] for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Solomon's Key [5 Screw] to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1987.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Solomon's Key [5 Screw] has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
