   The game has excellent graphics and sound, for example, a 
dragon, in flight time, is seen as a membrane flutter of wings. 
And, in my opinion, This game may take place among the best 
gaming programs SPECTRUM.



    SETUP


   Immediately after loading, to rhythmic music, You will be 
prompted to choose a control. Selections are made by pressing 
ENTER. If you wait, you'll see a panorama of several levels. 


      GAME


   Let's begin. You clicked on FIRE and ... found themselves 
somewhere very far away, some country, at a time when we lived 
dragons, gnomes, witches and different evil. Likely now fall as 
the trees are giants with no leaves, no doubt at midnight, and 
that for this situation, naturally, full moon (you know, that 
at this time happens).


   You - a fearless man who threw a deadly challenge of 
uncertainty and decided to liberate the country from the evil 
overlords. 

   A bit of history. This whole conflict began when seven very
ruthless, evil and cunning wizards decided to conquer the land.
Resolved - done. Conquered, built a castle and surrounded by 
cliffs and precipices. Began to spread around the evil and 
destruction. Many trying to get to the villains (many it almost 
succeeded, but ...), Yes we could not. And now it is your turn.


   Passage to the castle (a castle - underground) opens every 
few years, at midnight. At this time, have a peak of activity 
of various monsters - creatures of evil rulers. With all of 
them you meet, it is: dwarves, dragons, vampires, various 
flying things ... 

   With them you are fighting weapon to find. Options: cudgel, 
spear and dagger. Each has its own weapons of lethal force 
(denoted by a number in front of the image object). The more 
often you use the weapon, the greater its killing power. 
Dragons knights, werewolves - are destroyed with 2-3 hits. 
White ball can only repel. The other characters are destroyed 
immediately. 

   But neither one of etoh weapons, not to destroy the rulers.

   About the rulers. Seven of them. Four of them are 
responsible for the four elements: air, water, earth and fire. 
To compete with the first, you must collect a symbol of water 
in six parts scattered urovnyu.Posle this magic power gives you 
a new weapon - fiery ball, which you will destroy the first 
governor. Accordingly, to fight with the second (responsible 
for water) - to find the symbol of water, well and collect it. 

   How to find it. To move through the castle serves as a 
spatial teleportator (even in those times used this handy 
gizmo). He looks like paportnik with three very large leaves. 
It is necessary for him to stand up and sit down. 

   But you do not always teleport. For example, it will not 
work if you want to teleport to another level, but not finished 
with the chores on this one. Teleport will not work until the 
until you have the necessary magical element is not destroyed 
ruler. 

   Once you collect the magic item, and you find the 
teleporter, get into the cave to the governor. He will appear 
before You in the skull, which, flying in zigzags, you are 
trying to destroy the same weapon that you have. 

   To destroy the governor, need some time to get into it. 
Enough for the first six of your hits on the second - eight, 
etc. At the last stage, when you successfully do battle with 
the first Four-bedded, you will have to fight with three other 
wizards. Immediately after the destruction you have to move to 
the islands to the left. But You can fly to a few more enemies.


   After the destruction of the ruler of the elements you 
return back to teleportatoru and give weapon that was used last 
time and the image becomes darker level. Now you have to find 
another teleporter to move to the next level. When will destroy 
all rulers, the message, whose contents you will learn

themselves.

   Sometimes come across the remains of those who came here 
before you and whose weapons use. If you reached them, then 
there are messages like: "Thank you, adventurer," or "Item not 
found" etc. 

   Be careful, there are traps everywhere and different demons, 
and you have only three lives, although their number increases 
with time, the risk is not worth nothing. 

   Now you can safely go to feats.


  HELPFUL HINTS


   Further should not be read by anyone around wants to 
understand himself. 

   1. In addition to skeletons, to all of you to set up 
aggressively, so Shoot everything - will not be worse.


   2. There are masked passages in the walls and trees, they 
will open, if they shoot. 

   3. On the level with lots of pillars and the Knights, for 
passage on upper floors should sit at the foot of some of the 
pillars and shoot at him - a pillar settles and forms a 
passage. 

   4. During a battle with the governor stand on one island - no
run.
