-
- Copying this software is THEFT, and is the same as stealing the equivalent
- goods straight out of a shop...Not only does this make software pirates
- pathetic criminals, but it also undermines the industry, possibly
- preventing the production of future software for your machine.
- This is not an exaggeration.

-
- ======> OWNERS OF 1MB MACHINES MAY HAVE TO CHANGE TO SCREEN MODE 12
- BEFORE LOADING. THIS GIVES MORE MEMORY FOR THE GAME. <======
-
- 95% of the graphics in this game were designed and drawn with 'Illusionist.'
-
- THIS DEMO HAS ONLY TWO SPECIAL LEVELS
- THE FULL GAME HAS OVER FIFTY NEW MAZES!
-
-
- THE GAME
- --------
-
- The 'Others' have cast you down into the labyrinthine realm of your mind.
- In a series of ever expanding mazes you will encounter monsters, traps,
- puzzles and beautiful treasures.
- Finding your way out with the highest score is your only task.
- Of course death or simply running out of time, is the easy way out, but
- with the lowest score...
- Existing in this place, you are given a certain amount of ammunition to
- fight against the creatures. These are star-shot weapons and bombs.
- You are given the full amount of shots to start with, but you will have to
- collect the bombs on your travels.
-
- The four vertical bars on the right display are:
-
- Health / Time / Ammunition / Bombs
-
- Your health will decrease when you have been bitten, burnt, electrified,
- shot, or generally blown up!
- Shooting the bouncing 'Spirit' balls increases your energy. Note that you
- have to turn sideways to hit these.
- Each level has a time limit. If you run out of time you will fail.
-
-
- CONTROLS
- --------
-
- "Z"/"X" - Rotate left or right ninety degrees.
- "SPACE" - Move forward one square.
- "RETURN" - Fire shots. Unless you have just taken the rapid fire potion
- you can only shoot one at a time. Note that you can hold down
- the key for continuous fire.
- "Ctrl" - Drop bomb. You must move at least one square away before it
- explodes, or you will burn!
- If you have a joystick, pull back and fire at the same time to drop a bomb.
-
- "ESCAPE" - Abort game.
- "Q" - Toggle sound off and on.
- "S" - Toggle internal speaker off and on (for using headphones.)
- "P" - Pause/resume.
-
- On title screen...
-
- "SPACE" - Starts game from the beginning.
-
- "ESCAPE" - KILL GAME CODE, RETURN TO DESKTOP.
-
-
- HINTS
- -----
-
- * On the later levels you are advised to make a map and take note of the
- correct route.
- * All spaces are used on the levels. If there is an area you cannot reach
- then is probably a shootable wall as a secret entrance.
- * To shoot the Spirit Balls, it is easier to fire against a wall rather than
- trying to hit them directly. This is because an exploding shot has a
- 'wider kill spread!'
- * To run and turn without delay KEEP space pressed and hold the rotate key
- down just BEFORE reaching corner.
- * When you hit a trap move as quickly as you can, because if you're stuck
- in one then you have no alternative but to end the game or wait to die...
- * Sometimes you have to sacrifice in order to gain...
- * Pressing 'SPACE' or 'RETURN' can zip you through the text between levels.
