"I took in hand the whole world.
Looked up and took the view ...
As it is dark and rude, and angry!
In the world I could not find a man.
In truth falsehood has taken away the throne ...
I picked up in the palm of the whole world.
Looked up and took the view ... "

   Company Bug-Byte called this
its software product adventyuroy with animation, but rather, 
perhaps, will consider it a series of dangerous arcade screens

subordinated to one central
subject.

   Villain Rapscallion (Rascal)
deception captured documents
possession of your castle, and you
tossed into prison. But to the rescue
came the princess-fairy:
so you can escape from prison
it is time to turn you to
bird. Having gone through a lot
test, you need to win
villain and regain lock.

   You'll have to wade through many locations, each
of which are waiting for some
danger: the enemies, the evil predators, traps, etc. - Range
enormous obstacles. At the same time
must also collect gems and magical items, as well as having to 
search the information you need elves. Thus, in the wilderness 
(Wilderness) be sure to find the key to Magical Maze (Magic 
Labyrinth) and a shield that protects you are in a collision 
with the guards. And when you lock in proberetes Rascal, then 
to defeat villain necessarily need to be

magic wand (Magic Wand).

   The game has a great feature, about which we can not say. 
Loss of life turns you into a disembodied shadow, and in this 
state, staying safe, you can explore all the screens that 
section, where died. But to properly continue to study and 
ultimately achieve victory over Rapscallion, shadow should be

once again be reunited with the body.

   Gaming space rather confusing, so it is desirable to make a 
map, but objects and jewels on it can be not to celebrate - 
with every startup All games that can be

useful to you, he changed his
place.

   This program has a graphics
but, alas, not the best, even
the standards of 1984, the quality, but it's not too spoiled 
the overall standings. There the ability to save the current

state of the game.
