Your object is to acquire the two halves of the ancient Crown of Kings, hidden deep within the caverns of the legendary Cloudy Mountain. To reach the treasure you must cross a hostile land. The obstacles are numerous. Your resources are courage, cunning and three arrows. The rest you must find and fight to obtain. If you survive the wasteland and the creatures of the caves, you will have traveled out of danger into even greater peril. For each half of the Crown of Kings is guarded by terror - the Winged Dragons keep their endless watch.

Use the ARROW keys on the keypad, to move your 3-man expedition. As you move next to a blue mountain, it changes color to reflect the type of cave and its contents. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 旼컴� � � GRAY - EASY.

Only one warrior enters at a time. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� There are 2 sizes of cave systems. � � One is 4 rooms vertically by 8 rooms horizon- �(drawing of cave showing)� tally. The other is 4 rooms by 4 rooms. �(the man, two monsters )� Rooms are different sizes and are connected by �(and an exit )� winding passages of different sizes. � � A cave system is like the surface of a sphere. 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� If you walk long enough in any direction, you wind up back where you began. ------------------------------------< 6 >-------------------------------------- Use the Disc to move your warrior through the cave system. Rooms and passageways light up as the warrior moves into them, and remain lit behind him. As a rule, you cannot see very far ahead of the warrior, so move carefully. ARROWS 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴� � #### � � ###### ##� Each warrior is armed with a bow. This is his only weapon. � ###### ##� The group starts with a TOTAL of 3 arrows. The warrior in � ###### ## � the cave has all 3 arrows. Quivers of arrows must be found � ######## � in the caves and picked up, for additional ammunition. � ###### � � ###### � � ###### � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴� TO PICK UP A QUIVER, move your warrior to cover it, then press the PICK UP key. To find out how many arrows you have, press the COUNT ARROWS key and count the number of clicks that you hear. TO SHOOT AN ARROW Press the ARROW key that points in the direction you want to shoot. Arrows follow corridors and bounce off cave walls, even in the dark. This allows you to shoot around corners. It also allows you to shoot a monster without ever seeing it or waking it up, once you determine where it is. Be careful! A bouncing arrow can ricochet back and shoot your own warrior. ------------------------------------< 7 >-------------------------------------- LOOK FOR TOOLS A tool is always guarded by a dangerous monster. When you find a tool, kill the monster. Then move your warrior to cover the tool and press the PICK UP key. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 � ## � � ## � � � � ###### � � ###### � � � � ######## � � ########## � � ## � � ## � � #### #### � � ######## ## � � ## � � #### ## � � ## ## � � ################## � � #### � � � � ################ � � ## � � � � ############ � � � � � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 BOAT AXE KEY WATCH OUT FOR MONSTERS! Different TYPES of monsters have different natures. A monster may or may not make noise, may or may not sleep, may or may not leave clues to its presence (tracks or bones); and may or may not kill or wound. A MONSTER ALWAYS BEHAVES ACCORDING TO TYPE. All bats behave alike; all dragons behave alike, etc. A bat, spider or rat can be killed with one shot. A dragon, demon or snake takes two shots. Blobs are indestructible (but slow). And a Winged Dragon takes three shots to kill. (Game Hint: In general, the harder a monster is to kill, the more dangerous it is.) ------------------------------------< 8 >-------------------------------------- A monster must be on screen (but not necessarily visible) to be heard or shot. If you hit but do not kill a monster that is not visible, it will come after you. A sleeping monster may be awakened by shooting an arrow nearby. Watch and listen as you move through the cave system. With practice, you will learn the unique characteristics of each monster type. This is critical to winning the game. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴왯컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴왯컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� �### ###### ### 납 ### ### ###납 � �###### ###### ###### 납### ######### ### 납 ### � � ################## 납 ### ######### 납############ � � ############ 납########################납 ######### � � ###### 납 ### ######### 납 ### ###############� � ### ### 납### ######### ### 납### ### � � 납 ### ### ###납 � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴牡컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴牡컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� BAT SPIDER RAT 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴왯컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴왯컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � ###### 납 납 ## � � ###### ### 납 ############ 납 ## ## � � ######### 납 #### #### #### 납 ## ## ## � � ###### 납 #################### 납 ############ � � ###### 납### ## ## ## #######납 ######## � � ###### 납 #################### 납 #### � � ###### 납 ## ## ## #### 납 ######## � � ############### 납 ############ 납 ## ######## � � ### ### 납 납 #### ## � �### ############### 납 납 ## ###### � � ################## 납 납 ###### � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴牡컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴牡컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� SNAKE BLOB DEMON 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � ######### � � ###### � � ###### ###### � � ###### ### ######### � � ######### � � ###### ### ### � � ### ###### � � ### ############ ### � � ######### � � ######### ### � � ######### � � ##################### � � ############ � � ### ######### ### � � ###### ######### � � ### ############ � � ###### ######### � � ############ � � ### ############ � � ############ � � ### ######### � � ######### � � ######### � � ###### ###### � � ###### ###### � � ###### ###### � � ###### ###### � � ###### ###### � � ###### ###### � � � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� DRAGON WINGED DRAGON ------------------------------------< 9 >-------------------------------------- ATTACK ON A WARRIOR 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� A warrior can be wounded or killed by monsters or by � � ricocheting arrows.

The new man appears at the point where the first warrior entered the cave system. He automatically gets possession of any tools or arrows that the previous warrior had. If all 3 warriors are killed, the game ends. The Strategy Map appears with a tombstone on the spot where the last warrior died. EXIT 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴커 A warrior cannot get out of a mountain the same way he � ## ## � got in. You must find the exit. The SINGLE exit in each � ############ � cave system is marked by a LADDER and guarded by a dangerous � ## ## � monster.

The entire expedition automatically joins your warrior on the other side of the mountain. This mountain remains clear of monsters, until you pass through 4 more mountains. After that, monsters re-claim the first mountain. When a mountain is clear, you can cross it without re-entering its cave system. This mean you can retreat if the way ahead is blocked. Or you can return to a mountain along the way, that you did not enter before, to get the tool inside. You CANNOT re-enter the cave system of a clear mountain, until it is re-claimed by monsters again. If you need a tool contained in a mountain, get it while you are inside that mountain the first time around. THE LAST 4 MOUNTAINS YOU HAVE PASSED THROUGH are always clear. However, they do not remain colored. Type information is lost when you return to the Strategy Map, but can be regained by backtracking. ------------------------------------< 11 >------------------------------------- CLOUDY MOUNTAIN 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � ######### 납 � � ################## 납 � � ###### ###### 납 #### � � 납 #### � � ###### 납 ############ � � ######### 납 ############ � � ############ 납 #### � � ############### 납 #### � � ############### 납 #### � � ################## 납 #### ############ #### � � ##################### 납 #### ############ #### � � ######### ###### 납 ############################ � � ######### ###### 납 ############################ � � ### 납 #### #### #### � � ### 납 #### #### #### � � ### 납 ############################ � � ### 납 ############################ � � ### 납 � � ### 납 � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� When you have fought your way to Cloudy Mountain, enter its cave system by moving onto the mountain. Find the TWO SEPERATE HALVES of the Crown of Kings and you win! No need to find an exit. You are magically returned to the Strategy Map, with the Crown. Beware! Each half of the Crown is guarded by one of the deadliest monsters of all - the Winged Dragons! STRATEGY TIPS 1 Start with an Easy game, until you learn the characteristics of different monster types. Learn which sight and sound clues go with which monsters. 2 Approach all the accessible black mountains, before entering any of them, to find out which tools are in which mountains. ------------------------------------< 12 >------------------------------------- 3 After entering your first cave system, look for arrows before taking on any of the really nasty monsters. 3 arrows do not last long against dragons and snakes. 4 Move slowly in the caves and LISTEN. Many beasts can be heard as you approach. 5 When you find a monster guarding a tool or exit, be prepared to RUN in retreat, until you reach a place where you can get off a clear shot or two. 6 Practice bouncing arrows off cave walls, to learn how they ricochet. The ability to shoot around corners gives you a distinct advantage over the monsters. 7 Learn to find and shoot monsters in the dark. Remember that arrows follow corridors and bounce off walls in the dark. Only by shooting dangerous monsters from a safe distance, can your warrior avoid being eaten, especially on the harder levels. ------------------------------------< 13 >------------------------------------- MATTEL ELECTRONICS I N T E L L I V I S I O N Intelligent Television WHY YOU SHOULD PLAY THE LEADING ROLE.
