MAGIC MEANIES
(CDS Micro Systems)


In a land and time long since passed when wizards and sorcerers were all
powerful, there lived a wizard of renown. As in all tales of the dark 
ages, there were Good and Evil wizards. One such good wizard was Meltec.
His life was spent in an eternal Quest for lead, which he transmuted into
gold, only obtainable from the land of Zeldor. The lead mines were guarded
by the evil Magic Meanies.

In the land of Zeldor, Meltec's spells were useless, so armed only with
five crystal balls and four magic apples he ventured forth.

INSTRUCTIONS
When the program has loaded select to use either the Kempston joystick or
the keyboard, the skill level and you may suppress the music if you wish.
The object of the game is to guide Meltec around the screen collecting all
the lead and the cherry on each screen, but beware, for once a path has
been cleared the Meanies will try and stop you. Collision with any of them
and you lose one of your three lives. On each screen you have five crystal
balls which you may fire at the Meanies and gain bonus points. You may also
block the Meanies path by passing underneath one of the apples or push it
along and drop it on them to squash them flat. After a screen has been 
successfully completed you find another screen with even more Meanies.
Good luck!
