SIR LANCELOT

Video Game

You are SIR LANCELOT. Astride your winged horse PEGASUS, you set out on a quest
to save a poor maiden held prisoner in a castle by a fire-breathing dragon. As
you start your journey winged creatures will try to kill you. but with your
charmed lance and careful flying by PEGASUS. you can overcome their challenge.
You collect points for each creature destroyed and when all are gone you reach
the castle and face the dragon. The wily dragon is in the dungeon over a deadly
lava pool where you must evade his fiery breath in your fight to the death. The
fire will not kill you, but will temporarily stun PEGASUS so he cannot flap his
wings. Kill the dragon with your lance and you will save the maiden. Once the
dragon is killed, you will face new creatures guarding another castle. and
these defenders will have heard of your exploits and be more difficult and so
will the dragon.

1. Screen #l THE FLYING SNAKES

As SIR LANCELOT starts his quest to save the first maiden, CAROLYN. held captive
in the castle, he must defeat all of the flying snakes by spearing them with
his lance, They are fairly primitive creatures. for they fly in a horizontal
pattern. Kill all the creatures, and you will advance to face the first dragon.

2. Screen #2--THE OLD DRAGON

You have reached the castle dungeon and you see the imprisoned damsel, CAROLYN.
A mean old dragon guards the cavern and prevents the fair CAROLYN from
escaping. You must vanquish this dragon to free her. Be careful of his fiery
breath, for it will stun PEGASUS, and be quick about it or the lava pool will
consume both the fair maiden and yourself.

3. Screen #3--THE MONSTER BEES

You have completed your first quest. but there are more maidens in trouble These
fierce fellows are not just ordinary bees, they are bigger and certainly
smarter than the creatures in your first quest. They've heard of your powers
and they will reverse their directions in order to catch you o@ guard. Destroy
the bees and proceed to the castle to save the maiden SARAH.

5. Screen #5--THE KILLER DRAGONFLIES

Tougher than any quest to date, this castle is surrounded by a horde of dive
bombing dragonflies! They not only reverse directions like the MONSTER BEES.
but they also swoop down and rise up to keep you from your goal. Careful flying
and joystick control can make you the victor, and allow you to go on to the
castle where the maiden LAUREN is held captive.

6. Screen #6--JAREK THE SPEEDY

This fast flying. fire spitting dragon will show you no mercy Be quick to your
task or JAREK will send you and PEGASUS swimming in boiling lava but you can
succeed in saving the fair LAUREN, if you can dodge JAREK'S rapid fire breath
with your joystick skills!

7. Screen #7--THE INVISIBLE INVINCIBLES

SIR LANCELOT'S great skills as a fighter will surely be tested by these
creatures whose eyes are the only thing visible on them. They fly fast. they
turn and dive and they don't want you to succeed in your quest. You can do it.
but you must be more clever than they are in order to triumph.

There are eight different game screens in the game, each with different and
successively more difficult creatures with which SIR LANCELOT does battle

4. Screen #4--YOUNG GROK THE DRAGON

Unlike the old dragon you met in the first castle, young GROK is a lot faster in
his flying and he breathes his fire more often and more accurately So fly fast
and time your lance attack or you will be stunned repeatedly and fall into the
lava pool You must save poor SARAH from the beast

8. Screen #8--HANEK THE HORRIBLE

HANEK flies at a ferocious speed and turns and breathes his fire at an
incredible pace Only the very best possible efforts can lead SIR LANCELOT to
HANEK'S defeat. You must outfly outturn. and outmaneuver HANEK if you are going
to succeed to save the maiden, ELISABETH. from a fate worse than death! And if
you do. you will go on to still another quest. but what?

PLAY ACTION--Screens #1, #3, #5, #7

OUTSIDE THE CASTLES

When the game begins, SIR LANCELOT has been challenged to free the land from
villainous flying beasts and to save the fair maidens from their captors, the
dragons. Each of the castles in the quest are surrounded by successively more
dangerous flying creatures that try to keep SIR LANCELOT from reaching the
castle and saving the maiden.

FLIGHT AND CONTROL

Using your FIRE BUTTON to control the flapping wings of SIR LANCELOT'S flying
horse. PEGASUS, and using the JOYSTICK to guide your direction and deadly
lance, you control SIR LANCELOT'S attack of the beasts. To maintain flight,
the player must repeatedly push the FIRE BUTTON to flap PEGASUS' wings. The
frequency of his wing beats determines a climb. hover, or dive Left or right
JOYSTICK direction combined with wing flapping will create horizontal flight.
Upward or downward JOYSTICK direction will produce a climb or a dive. Reversing
direction during horizontal flight will stop forward momentum. PEGASUS will not
turn upside down so loops and inverted flight are not possible--otherwise SIR
LANCELOT would fall off!

COMBAT

In order for SIR LANCELOT to rid the air of the beasts and clear his path to the
castles. he must use his lance to destroy the creatures. A foes increase in
difficulty through Screens # 1, #3, #5 and #7, the same basic rules for combat
apply The differences are found in the special of attack and flying skills.
Because of SIR LANCELOT'S weapon, the lance, a planned collision results in the
creature's defeat. If only one of the combatants is facing the collision point,
then he wins. If both of the combatants are facing each other, the higher one
wins. If both are at the same height, then it is a tie and neither SIR LANCELOT
nor the beast will be destroyed. If neither the creature nor SIR LANCELOT are
facing each other, again it is a tie. When a tie occurs, the two combatants
"bounce" off each other.

PLAY ACTION--Screens #2, #4, #6, #8

THE LAVA POOL INSIDE THE CASTLE

After you have defeated the creatures outside of a castle. SIR LANCELOT moves to
the scene inside the castle where a dragon holds a maiden captive. Each of the
maidens in successive screens have different colored dresses on. Each combat
arena has a ledge where SIR LANCELOT starts and can rest, and each is guarded
by a successively more difficult dragon that must be defeated. Do not tarry,
for the lava pool is rising and it will consume the maiden and even SIR
LANCELOT if you can't quickly dispense the dragon.

DRAGON COMBAT

By using your flying skills you must defeat the dragons by spearing your lance
into the soft stomach of the monsters. The wily dragon will fly and turn in his
attempt to breath fire at you and stun Pegasus. You must guide your lance into
his soft underbelly--touch him elsewhere and you're defeated--so fly with skill.
You must be quick to avoid the fire from the dragon. Each successive screen will
have faster. more accurate dragons whose stomachs have more and more armor. In
the highest screens a direct hit is necessary in the exact middle of the stomach
to be victorious. Once the dragon is killed. you will save the maiden. and you
will go on to a harder quest. FARE THEE WELL!
