VAMPIRE



Historical Background



The year 2987...



Brok the Brave found himself on the high-

security planet Hawkland. His life had turned

into a daily routine of synthetic drugs and

phsychological sessions to change his

behaviour and destroy his instinct of

independence.



When all was lost for him, hope sprang up:

an emissary from the planets of Sol 1

proposed the greatest challenge of his life: to

liberate the planet Earth and its space stations

from Dracule and his vampires, who were

subjecting the people to a lethal nightmare.



The Plot

In order to destroy Count Dracula, Brok the

Brave must descend into the suffocating

atmosphere of terror which envelops his

castle.



He must struggle against all the traps and

enemies he finds on his trail, never wavering,

without a look behind or the doubt that

could cost him his life.



The castle has two parts: the underground,

full of dangers and traps and the surface,

where nothing is easy.



Brok must get 3 keys to open doors a list of

key objects which enable him to progress

through the lbyrinth, and the three symbols

which will finish off the beast Dracula -

stake, hammer and cross.



To successfully complete the mission Brok

must follow the advice of the pophetic

poem found in the book of wisdom:



   "To destroy the hellish beast whose

   black teeth absorb all blood

   You must descend to where no light will reach

   And find the keys which open all doors,

   Open the shuttered windows and

   when the rays of sunlight flood the

   rooms find those magic objects which

   will destroy the vampire of darkness:

   Two crossed sticks, the symbol of the

   power of white magic over black;

   Thor's weaponm symbol of the power

   which metes out just vengeance;

   A pin-sharp stake, symbol of the end of

   immortality for a vampire."
