=======================================================================================



Your mission is to search through the Dungeons of Doom

and return with the Amulet of Yendor (or die in the attempt).

  For protection you have some armour, your trusty

enchanted mace and a bow with a quiver full of arrows, for

food you have provision for just one meal.

  As you descend the dungeon you will find more food,

better armour and weapons left behind by previous

unsuccessful seekers for the Amulet. You will also find

hidden treasure, gold pieces, magical items, potion, rings

and scrolls that will help you in your ultimate goal, the quest

for the Amulet itself.

  But between you and your goal there are many fearsome

monsters and fiendish traps that will challenge all your

skills. If you succeed you will join the Guildmaster's Hall of

Fame. If you fail future adventurers will collect useful items

from your remains.



PLAYING THE GAME

After the title screen appears hit any key to start play. You

will be asked to enter your name. A menu appears, offering

you the choice of starting play, selecting a joystick, which

also starts play or loading a saved game.

  At the bottom of the screen the following information is

displayed.



Hits      - the number of hits that you can take before

          dying, with your maximum in brackets.

Strength  - the higher this is the better, with the maximum

          in brackets, altered by magic etc.

Armour    - the protective value of your armour, the higher

          the better.



  Beneath this there is an area for messages.

  The main part of the screen displays a map of the dungeon

level you are on, this builds up as your

knowledge of the dungeon increases. Down the

right hand side of the screen is a separate area

that depicts your pack.

  You control play with the cursor. To move,

position it in the main dungeon area and press

fire and you will walk directly towards it, until a

wall impedes your progress. Position it over

one of the four commands, UP, DOWN, SEARCH

or REST and you will do just that, obviously you

need to be at the foot of some stairs to go up,

and at the top of stairs to go down. Searching

will tell you if there are any hidden traps or

objects in the square you are in or any of the

eight surrounding squares. If the cursor is over

one of the objects in your pack then you will be

given a menu of options, type the first letter of

the option you want.

  To see more of the level you are on press T

and the map scale will change, you cannot

move in this overview screen, you must return

to the detailed view first by pressing T again.

  You cannot wear two sets of armour at once,

and wielding a weapon, unwields any other. It

does help if you wield the bow before you try to

shoot arrows.

  Objects are picked up when you walk over

them, provided your pack is not full. If it is you

will need to drop, eat or wear something.

  Monsters will fight you whenever they are

stood next to you, though you can kill them at a

distance by shooting arrows at them or zapping

them with a wand.
