LEANDER DEMO
Although Leander was only Captian of the guard he had managed to
capture the heart of the Emperor's daughter, Princiess Lucanna.
But their love was one that had to be kept secret, and if news
of it ever reached the Emperor's ears then Leander would surely
pay with his head.
But even with his life at risk his love compelled him to meet
Lucanna and spend many secret hours together. However, this was
soon to end. Bent on revenge the evil Thanatos kidnapped
Lucanna while wreaking havoc across the land and took her back
to his lair. As Captain of the guard, Leander must attempt to
save her, but will he be good enough to rescue his beloved?
Controlling LEander as he roams about the level couldn't be more
straightforward. Moving left and right is done by pushing the
joystick in the obvious direction, up makes you jump and down
makes you crouch.
PRessing fire gives you a quick slash with your sword inflicting
a small amount of damage on any monster unfortunate enough to
get in the way. However, the strength of the blow can be
determined by the amount of time you keeep the fire button held
down for.
If your're lucky you might get hold of a suicide weapon,. and
although it may not sould like just the sort of thing you want
in your inventory, it is! If you come across a particular nasty
monster, then by holding down and pressing fire on the joystick
you can activate the weapon and kill everything on the screen.
You do lose a life, but losing one is better than losing 2 or
more.
Each time you kill a monster some kinde of object is left behind
for you to collect. These items are usually some kind of coin,
but every now and then you'll come across special extras.
The best of these is the 1up which will credit you with an extra
life when it is collected, but these useful items are only left
by major monsters or found hidden by chests. Helpful armor
upgrades are quite common and keep you from getting too close to
death.
As we've already said, 1ups can be found, but only if your're
pretty lucky but don't hang around when you do. If you don't
collect it within a few seconds then the icon will change itself
into a skull. It isn't wise to collect the skulls because if
you do Thanatos' ethereal form will appear and do its darndest
to kill you.
