HINTS ON GAME PLAY
There are 7 gates and at the end of each gate is an evil demon. Once this
evil demon is killed, a key will fall out of the sky. This key
opens the next gate. At the 7th and final gate you must do battle
with the Devil in hand-to-hand combat. If you win, the beautiful
Princess is saved.
When the Knight is hit on his suit of armor, he loses his suit of armor.
The 2nd hit kills the Knight. You control the Knight with a 4-way
control pad; to climb ladders, run forward or backwards, and to
duck down to avoid evil demons. The A and B buttons on the control
pad are used to A)jump and B)throw weapons. If you push A then B
immediately afterwards, the Knight will throw the weapon while
jumping. If you use the control pad in the down position with
the B button, the Knight will duck down and throw weapons.
HINTS ON GAME PLAY
Throughout each scene there are Jars which hide 5 different weapons-
Javelins, torches, swords, axes, and crosses. When the game
begins, the Knight is armed with a javelin.
Javelins- when thrown, they continue off the end of the screen.
Torches- when thrown, they form an arc and continue burning. When they
hit the ground, if there are two fires burning you cannot throw
another torch until one burns out.
Sword- same as javelin but with more speed.
Axe- they also form an arc when thrown.
Cross- when thrown they fly straight and stop the enemies' attack.
