- OBJECTIVE
-
-
- The objective of Crusher Castle is to find your way out of a Haunted
- Castle made up of 25 different rooms filled with Ghosts.
-
-
- Game Play
-
- When the game begins, you will find yourself in the center of the
- Castle in room 13. There is a Room Map on the left side of the
- screen which will show you your location in the Castle at all times.
-
- Your man will appear by one of the four exits in room 13. Using
- your <Arrow Keys> you can move your man around the room.
-
-
- Objects / Objectives
-
- There are various objects you will see in each room. There are
- Brown Closets, Gold Bags, Candles, Bombs, Boxes, and of course
- Ghosts. These Ghosts will always be after you as make your
- escape out of the Castle.
-
-
- 10,000 Point Objective
-
- Before you can even begin in your quest to find the way out of
- the Castle, you first must acquire 10,000 points. When you begin
- your journey you have 3 Men, 5 Candles, and 4 Bombs in your
- inventory. Your inventory is shown on the left side of the screen at
- all times. A Room Map is also displayed showing your location within
- the Castle.
-
-
- Boxes and Bombs
-
- There are Boxes which are scattered about the room. These can be
- pushed around the room to help you avoid the Ghosts. They can
- also be blown up with a bomb which will remove them from the room.
- If you have bombs collected, you can blast a Box by pressing the
- <Spacebar> to activate the bomb. Then press the <Arrow Keys> for
- the direction you want the bomb to explode. Pressing the
- <Spacebar> key again or moving in another direction where there
- is no Box will de-activate the Bomb and it will not be used up.
-
-
- Gold / Candles / Closets / Ghosts
-
- In most of the rooms you will see Bags of Gold, Candles, Closets
- and those nasty Ghosts. Points are awarded for capturing these
- items. Crushing Ghosts (trapping them) is done by pushing the
- Boxes so that the Ghost has nowhere to move. After he is trapped,
- in a few seconds he will vanish and a candle will appear somewhere
- in the room.
-
- Candles are the most important objects you will need. Without
- candles the game will be over no matter how many men you have left.
- Therefore make sure you always have enough candles. ( Hint: this
- is really important as you near your escape.) If your candles get
- down to 3, then a warning will flash. This means you had better
- find some more candles or you will fail in your quest to find your
- escape. Approximately every 24 moves by your man, a candle will be
- used up. Every time you change rooms, half a candle will be used.
-
- Closets are located in every room. Inside the closets might be
- Candles, Bombs, or other items which can help (or hurt you), but
- you can never lose a life by opening a closet.
-
- Hint: These closets are the key to finding your escape route out
- of the Castle.
-
-
- Ghosts
-
- There are always Ghosts which will try to catch you. The white
- ghosts are the slowest, the pink ghosts are faster, and the light
- green ghosts are the fastest. If you can trap a ghost with the
- boxes so that he cannot move, you will be awarded points and
- he will vanish from the room. As a bonus, a candle will then
- appear somewhere in the room. If you trap two ghosts together,
- they will not be considered trapped. They must be trapped
- separately.
-
-
- Points / Scoring
- -------------------------
- Candles = 50 Points
- Bombs = 100 Points
- Gold Bags = 150 Points
-
- Trapped White Ghost = 200 Points
- Trapped Pink Ghost = 300 Points
- Trapped Green Ghost = 400 Points
-
- Extra Man = Every 10,000 Points
-
-
-
- An Extra man is given to you for every 10,000 points. Your first
- objective when beginning the game is to reach this 10,000 point
- mark. After that, you will be given clues to the later stages of
- the game. You will come into contact with things like Magic Cats,
- Old Maps, Keys, Secret Passageways.... Each will give you extra
- points once found.
-
-
-
- Exiting and Entering Rooms
-
- By looking at the Room Map on the left side of the screen, you can
- see where you are in the Haunted Castle. Since you are starting
- in the center room number 13, there are 4 exits from the room.
-
- To exit a room, simply look for an exit on one of the sides and
- move your man through it. The man will then disappear from the
- room and enter the next room to continue his journey. Once you
- leave a room, the Ghosts you have crushed and the Closets you
- have opened will re-appear the next time you enter that room but
- in different locations. Remember that every time you exit a room
- and go into another, it will use up half a candle !
-
-
- END OF GAME
-
- If you run out of Candles or lose all your Men, then the game
- will be over. The game checks to see whether your score is
- in the Top Ten High Scores. If it qualifies, then you will
- be asked to enter your initials onto the scoreboard.
