      1987 Mastertronic


   "When a magic knight JCC
Piskes (Uss Pisces) returned to
his spaceship in the 25 th century, the
not recognize native sleepy village Konhemp-on-Mash 
(Cornhamp-onMarsh), which in his absence was attacked by a 
tyrant, calling himself the Black Knight

(Off-White Knight). Carrying the storm, the Black Knight is 
afraid of you! " 

   Is the background of the events to which you
to become, and made possible by the invention of
and fantasy author of the program David Jones (David Jones) and 
artist Ray Ouvena (Ray Owen). 

   Experience all these adventures
as Magic Knight you
requested independently. In
This description will not be instructions like 'go there, take 
it, do it. " All that You will read here about the game

Stormbringer, you can probably call the Program Guide,
or, if you like - a brief user's manual.

   First, let's try
deal with multi-
menu system, control program.


        1. MAIN MENU


   This menu appears immediately
after downloading and allows you to choose easy management, 
change game options, get acquainted with brief instructions 
and, finally, run the game. 

   If you are not appointed management, will be used
keyboard with a fairly comfortable
distribution of keys:


   N - Left

   M - Right

   A - Jump / Up

   Z - down

   Space - fire / menu


   To navigate menus and
include any of the items
uses the same keys - A, Z, Space.


   1.1. CHANGE GAME OPTIONS -

      CHANGE THE OPTIONS GAME


   Causes the following menu, which will not only allow the 
player chooses to change some attributes of the program (PLAYER 
ATTRIBUTE UPDATE / IGNORE), but, most importantly, will provide 
an opportunity to save the current state of the game (SAVE THE 
GAME) and download the pending game (LOAD AN OLD GAME). If no 
changes are required, select the option DO NOTHING, to get back 
the main menu. 


       1.2. INSTRUCTIONS

          (INSTRUCTIONS)


   Here we are talking about the plot of the game
(See the beginning of the description) and are already known to 
you the control keys. 


   1.3. PLAY GAME (HOME GAMES)


   The game always starts in the same place, with one and
the same set of subjects like
Magic knight, and at the secondary characters with whom he will 
have to deal with. Items scattered around the game space, early 
in the game are also on one and the same places. Thus, even if 
you for some reason have not kept their achievement, the second 
time play will still be easier

because the situation will be familiar.

   For convenience, the players almost
all screens have the name of the program. Let's go even further 
- all of them assign a serial facilities. Because the screens 
of all 52, and the numbers will be much

same, and they will be positioned as follows: starting screen 
assign the number 1, the right of it will screen 2,

3, 4, etc., and left 52, 51, 50.

   This whole "kitchen" with numbers
afoot for a reason, and in order to facilitate your further
life. In particular, it will
opportunity during the game to mark places where there are one 
or other objects, and sometimes

and the least mobile characters.

   But back to the first screen - The sword in concrete (Sword
in action.) The first thing you'll notice the sword pierced the 
body - Unfortunately, the sword did not come out of it

wishes. But a number is very
useful discovery - Disquise,
more precisely, Magic Disquise Kit. To take it, then fire, and
You'll see a menu of available commands.


      2. COMMANDS AVAILABLE

       (Instructions are available)


   The number of rows of the menu,
and hence the number of commands during the game changes
According to available at your disposal a set of objects and 
has complied game character actions.



    2.1. EXAMINE (CHECK)


   By choosing some sort of command, not
expect instant execution. The program is very meticulous and
must ask the following
issue, clarifying the essence of the team.
So, after a fairly frequently used command EXAMINE (Check), 
followed by the question: "Examine what?" There will also be a 
regular menu-tip: OBJECT (Item), CHARACTER (character)

YOURSELF (himself).

   But this not all over. Choosing OBJECT cause
display a list of available items at your disposal, and from
He will have to choose the one that should be checked (Examine
which object? = What is the subject of
check?). Even when the subject
has been selected, imeeetsya to fulfill the command (EXECUTE
COMMAND), or to abolish it entirely (REJECT COMMAND).

   And only after all of these operations, you finally achieve
what he wanted, for example: find out what is the
sword, produced in the screen 51.

   For each subject in addition to
its appearance given four
Model parameters:

1. Weight - the weight of conventional unit
   in units of.
2. Blow - the opportunity to blow

   (Y / N).
3. Read - the presence of labels (Y / N).
4. Wear - the opportunity to put

   (Y / N).


   Faced with someone of the characters in the game, always try
learn more about it (EXAMINE
CHARACTER), acting just
described. Program
displays the whole file,
which, nevertheless, could be more complete list of items, if 
you try to take something in this character

(TAKE AN OBJECT). For example,
"Dossier" on Robin from Shylock:


   Robin - a good shooter
onions. His arm does not know how to miss. Initially, at his 
disposal the following items: 

Bow - Bow
Boomerang - Boomerang
Newspaper - Newspaper
Scroll - scroll (parchment)


   Ability and opportunity of Robin so appreciated the program:

Strength (Strength) - 60
Happiness (Fortune) - 50
Stamina (stamina) - 75
Magic Level (Level Magic) - 60
Food Level (food reserves) - 100


   Similar to the information you without
Labour will be able to get any
of the characters, but (sorry, that
repeat) only when it
meeting with the Magic Knight (Magic Knight).

   On the well-being of the protagonist and his success can be 
found in any second, using

command EXAMINE YOURSELF.

   Somewhat less verbose
will be the program if the Magic Knight will fail -
outcome of any game will be reduced to
three lines:


   Total Competition (Running
task in%).

   Time Left (remaining time in
hours (conditional).

   You died of ... (You were killed by
... (Cause of death).


       2.2. READ SOMETHING

       (READ ANYTHING)


   Without a doubt, READ SOMETHING - one of the most important 
commands in the game. Look at the list subjects - almost each 
of the They can read something, and

often read it gives information
far more valuable than the standard test items (EXAMINE
OBJECT). So read it all
in a row, nothing but good from
it will not.

   Pay special attention to reading the inscriptions on the 
Crystall Ball and Scroll - information on these

items is updated periodically and has the character of overt 
clues. 


        2.3. CAST A SPELL

     (Apply SPELL)


   This command invokes another menu, which should tell us a 
little more. First all spells do not work

always and everywhere - have much to suffer, to become perfect 
in art of magic! To achieve success in this difficult matter is 
the only one proven method for centuries - to experiment, to 
think and again to experiment. In doing so, you'll soon see how 
to start growing your Magic Level, which promises new

opportunities in magic, and ultimately - a victory over the 
forces evil.



     2.4. WEAR / UNWEAR OBJECT

     (Wear / RENT ANYTHING)


   If you are caught in the way of clothing, shoes, armor, 
jewelry, magic charms - for anyone not be a problem

put on or remove them. But more
all possibilities, and together with
them and the new and unexpected challenges will bring you to 
find the first game screen - set fairy faces (Magic Disquise 
Kit). Kit contains six faces: Footman (Lackey)

Guard (Guard), Wizard (Sorcerer), Chambermaid (maid)
White Witch (white witch)
Warrior (Warrior).

   When, where and how to shape
use it, you have to decide, and that reincarnation
succeeds, do not forget
they fully take care of raising their Magic Level.


    2.5. COMMAND A CHARACTER

    (CEDE ORDER character)


   Ability to command the characters becomes a reality, as
you could only get a
Aramis commander Rod (Wand
of Command). Commands that you
be able to give, not so much: GO TO SLEEP (Go to sleep), WAKE 
UP (Wake), GO AWAY (Go Away away - Please note that chase

burglar Gryuntera not conducted with
him some explanatory
work should not be - he rashly
and can kill), HELP (Help -
excellent in all respects
command, but use it with
benefit can be extremely rare.
So do not forget about it when
meeting with Rachel of Amazonia,
this will get the code teleportatora, which besides Rachel
nobody knows), EAT'DRINK (Eat and drink - health and strength
minor characters - too
your concern, so make sure that that they are regularly
ate), BE HAPPY (Be Happy).

   In some cases, the command
have to be repeated several
times, for example, a lover of sleep
Orgenona wake up with one attempt can be extremely rare.

   And another limitation - the team can be given only to those
characters who are in
one screen with a Magic Knight. But
even under this condition, guarantee 100% no obedience. Since 
the request for assistance Aramis without compunction may 
declare that he was sick of helping you, although it is 
possible that you are applying for it only for the first time. 
A Orgenon in response to the command GO AWAY often tells you 
the most get out farther.



       2.6. BLOW SOMETHING

       (Blow into anything)


   Nothing in that you could blow, except the horn
Elves (Elf-horn) you are likely
just do not find it. The inscription on the
This magic item can not be read, but, in poduv
him, you get a chance
Access menu Summon (cause)
and under favorable circumstances really call a someone.

   It is thus of little huts Robin (screen 2)
Can not call Rachel. Other
ways to this one in
the game is to get girls
difficult, as only she (you
should already know about it) has code teleportatora.


         Team Roster


   PICK UP AN OBJECT (Raise
subject).


   DROP AN OBJECT (throwing things).


   TAKE AN OBJECT (take object
from someone). It is not always the characters from whom you 
want something get, give you the necessary

   GIVE AN OBJECT (Give subject anyone). If someone
characters do not want to give
extremely necessary for you to further the game object, try to
give him something in return from
your existing inventory.


   EXAMINE (Check). Its state (EXAMINE YOURSELF) You can check 
anytime and anywhere, and now learn something about some

section 2.3. CAST A SPELL.



   WEAR / UNWEAR OBJECT (Put /
remove anything). Command can be
used not only as applied to garments. Much greater 
possibilities it opens to you in conjunction with a set of
