Pressing any key moves the cursor

The next  stage  preparing for the game is
This is the configuration  of your future hero. 
This is produced by increasing
or reducing the number of points in the following
blowing five"номинациях":                 
                                          
                                          
      STRENGHT      -  СИЛА               
      ENDURANCE     -  ВЫНОСЛИВОСТЬ       
      INTELLIGENCE  -  ИНТЕЛЛЕКТ          
      CHARISMA      -  ОБАЯНИЕ            
      LUCK          -  УДАЧА              
                                          
Увеличивая один из пунктов слишком сильно,
вы  непременно заметите, что другие пункты
начинают медленноdecrease. This way
This creates a balance between individual components
components of the personality of your future hero. 
                                          
By  on completion of all these actions you will
give  directly  to the game. More precisely this
that  part of the  game that is connected  impossible
rarely  with the process of studying the location and
makingdecisions.  There will be one more part
games - regular fight...                   
                                          
                                          
So, on the left you can see our geo-
swarm, grimace  face which  changes to
depending on the situation. On the right is
laid down  two more windows: in the top one prints-
This is an overview of the location, and in the lower one there are possible
Action options.                          
                                          
Description of the location and everything that is happening in general
Wow, quite  extensive and detailed. Even
It’s amazing how all this fit into 48K memory -
t (very  reminds  games LEVEL9). Ec-
Naturally, everything  description not immediately into the window
fits,   and   therefore  you often
you will have to press fire to continueprintout of the text.                        
                                          
As soon as the entire description is displayed on the screen
to  end, options appear in the lower window
ants actions. They are all numbered,  but
are selected  not  by clicking on the corresponding
the corresponding key, and using the movement
up and down with the cursor.                    
                                          
Pressing the "A" key in this mode will
will give information on the state of all  tech
points (ENDURANCE, LUCK, etc. ) that you
installed  before the start. Besides this,
here  you can examine the presence/absence
money  (MONEY). They (money) may need
fight to give bribes and payoffs.          
                                          
In  mode  location review there are two more modes:
useful  keys  "S" and "L". The first of them
loads the current state of the game into memory.
In this case,  no visual effects or
confirmations  does not  occur.  Second (L)
loads a pending game from memory.      
                                          
However, the hour is inevitable when “words”
you'll have to go  to "case".  Maybe 
enemies will attack, perhaps  you are on someone
"you'll run into"  or  same  simply  decide to accept
participation in gladiatorial fights in the arena, non-
it is important that, but a fight will be inevitable! Here
This is where  you  and will get into the game mode "pun
They're all in the face."                           
                                          
It's all here extremely simple: you are on the left, he
on the right..., and below are two energy indicators.
PLAYER   ENDURANCE - this  yours, а  ENEMY
ENDURANCE is his. And here is who will win!   
                                          
Strikes  applied by  clicking on FIRE in
combinations  with another control key.
There are quite a few blows    but often
one single combination of keys is enough
wish repeated  five to seven times - and enemy
dead. Note that the initial amount of energy
your  hero  is directly related to the item
ENDURANCE, set before the start of the game. 
                                          
If the enemy is defeated, then you return to
the first component of the game - an overview of the location and
adoption of a new decision. If "beat"
you, then there is only one way out - GAME OVER.I won’t talk about the plot of the game, so
I myself didn't really understand it myself. Only one thing
obviously  that  all this is connected with the old
good times wizards, dragons and
other fabulous creatures.               
                                          
It is quite  naturally, the game is completely based on
English. For fans of the genre, this is exactly
but it won’t stop, but those who start the game -
ru by accident, it will only scare you away. However, there is no doubt
Surely  that the game is worthy  Russification, but
This can only be done by going through it to the end.
So play and let us know to the editor
about your achievements.                      
                                          
And  lastly  I I want  explain questions
compatibility...  The game is quite normal
worked (yes  and now it works) on any
SPECTRUM models. True, onPENTAGONsand
apparently  some other "pathalogs" in the re-
press battle  half of the sprite was not visible half of the sprite
main character.                           
                                          
I had to  take a solution to this problem
on  myself, and this is what happened. Now when
loading you will be asked PENTAGON FIX Y/N.
Answering "N" will launch the game as it appears
as it has always existed. If at
this sprite the hero will be  disappear,  then
I advise you to restart the game and answer "Y".
On  PENTAGONs everything will work after this
ok, maybe on other machines too
it will become easier.                             
                    In a word, success!
