MAJIK

Mastertronic, 1988
Clive Wilson and Les Hogarth

THE STORY SO FAR...

King Markham lies on his deathbed but is holding on in the desperate hope
that he will be united with his only son and heir, Prince Gideon, before
finally passing over. However, it is thought that Gideon is being held
captive in the evil clutches of Dolmir - for only Gideon can unite the Clans
of the Reaches and prevent Dolmir's intended domination.

You, The Great Magician Piradon, have been commanded to seek out and rescue
Gideon, but this will be a most difficult task as your magical powers will be
very limited in the lands you are about to journey...

GAMEPLAY

The top four arrow icons allow movement in that direction. If an exit is
available it changes colour to white, if it's not available it is coloured red.
The fifth top icon allows access to the verbs. If you select this icon then
the graphic clears and the verb window appears. To exit the verb window
select EXIT and click fire. Some special verb commands are:

EXIT   = this exits from the verb window, reprints the graphic window and
         returns control to the main icons.
VIEW   = look at an object in your possession.
LOOK   = look at a person.
EXAM   = look at an object in the text window.
SEARCH = a more powerful variant of EXAM.
SPEAK  = allows you to communicate with any of the characters. This command
         should be used to the full.
MAJIK  = this special command performs a magical feat and the result will
         depend upon what situations arise at any one time. This is an
         automatic command.
WAIT   = allows for a passage of time.
SLEEP  = refreshes you when tired.

Any objects present in a location are displayed in the OBJECT window. Any
people present - including yourself - are displayed in the PEOPLW window.

To select the object or person, move the highlight up or down and fire to
select. Whenever you are building up a sentence, a response window appears
across the top of the screen.
