Beat level one in less time and without the sword
Sent in by Benjamin Joy
To do this start the game, and go down the loose floor tile as usual but
instead of going left go right and lure the guard towards you. When he
gets close enough to stab you run back into the screen to the left, the
guard should still follow you into that screen, now lure him towards you
until he is to the left of the hole you fell to get down there. Again when
he close enough to stab you hurry and climb up and into the next screen.
Now jump up to knock down the loose ceiling tile above you, climb up into
the hole. Hit the switch that opens the gate to go back to where you
started the level from. Now all you have to do is go back down the hole,
and if the guard is far enough to the left you should be able to run all
the way to the right and to the end of the level.
Once you try it you should fully understand how to do it, it may tricky
at first to get away from the guard at just the right moment, but once
you get you'll be able to do it every time. Strange thing is that even
though you never got the sword in Level 2 you automatically acquire it.
See the princess in the sky
Run to the right when Level 20 begins and wait at the window. An image
of the princess will appear in the sky.
Get up to 15 bottles
There are two sections and two bottles in Level 3. After taking the
bottles, display the current password, and restart the level using that
password. You will be able to take the same bottles once again until the
maximum number (15) is accumulated. Note: Since only two hours of
game play is allowed, spending excess time in this level may
prevent successful completion of the game.
Start at Level 20
Start a new game and immediately allow yourself to be defeated. Do this
by dropping down two screens and running right until you bump into a
guard. When the message "Press Button to Continue" appears, press
Select and choose the password option to receive a password. Write
down the password, then press Reset. Choose the continue option at the
beginning of the game and enter the new password. You will start at
level 20 with all the time you had before, as well as the same number
of life bottles (three).
Hidden sounds
To hear hidden sounds, start the game, then hold down the Start button

Walkthrough
Level 1
From the stairs jump down and go to the bottom of the screen.
Be careful not to stand in the middle of the floor since it is a
false floor. Run over the false floor to make the tiles fall. Hold
onto the ledge and jump down. Go left; if you get stuck there
are several places where plates in the floor spin gates so go
back to see if there are release levers. Also watch out for floor
plates with nothing underneath; they'll usually fall if you stand
on them. Keep going left until you can only go down; then continue
down and right to get the sword. Go all the way back to where you
started and go right to fight the guard. Once he's dead go left and exit.
Level 2
Go left and fight the guard, on the next screen to the left go up
once then left and jump. Climb and go left and kill the next guard.
There is a timed gate here so if you don't make it , go walk on the
lever again. On the next screen go down; don't run when you go left
or you'll end up on several spikes. There is also another guard to
fight here. Go left a screen and down for a magic potion. Go back
up and then left; it's a big jump. On the next screen dispose of the
guard and run to the left; it's another big jump. Keep heading left
and to another guard. Go back right two screens and up one level,
then left and up again. Keep climbing and make the big jump to the
left. When you hit the dead end, go down and walk over the plate to
open the exit door. Then go up and to the exit to the right.
Level 3
At the start of the level go right until you get to the gold
skeleton; he only stays dead for a few seconds so drink the
extra life potion. Go back left three screens then up and right
as far as you can. Do not drop off to the right, you'll die. There
is a false ceiling you want to hit to make it fall down and go up
and get the potion. Now go back to where you hit the ceiling.
This is a tricky part. Keep going and jumping left to get through
the gate, it's al timing and doing it fast enough. Once through,
keep heading to the left until you get to the room with two potions;
go down here but do not drink the potions, they'll hurt you. Go
back down and left to open the door. Go all the way back to fight
the skeleton; you can't kill him but knock him into the false floor.
Jump over the pit and go down and left. Go right and force the
skeleton under the weight. Past the weight, follow the passages
to the exit.
Level 4
Don't forget to hit the plate on the far left, then go up and right
to fight the guard. Keep right to open the gate to the top left; it
is timed and fairly tricky. Fight the guard and continue left. Again
it is a timed gate but if you miss it, the pressure plate is to the
right of the guillotine. Keep heading left and kill two more guards,
then go up when you hit the dead end and right for the potion. Then
go down two screens, go past the exit and hit the pressure plate to exit.
Level 5
Go left as far as you can then drop down to hit the floor plate
then hit the false ceiling to go left and up. Go through the guillotine
to hit the plate then go back right to one screen left of where
you started; this time go down and right as far as you can.
Climb until you see the exit and go right to fight the guard.
Keep right until you see a guillotine; go past it to the dead end
with the lever that opens the exit. There is a secret level here
that you must find for yourself. Go back to the exit and you're done,
you must jump through one mirror to do so.
Level 6
Start off by going left and up as much as possible. When you
see the guard, fight him and head right and fight another guard.
There is a lever on a ledge all the way to the right. Then go down;
right through the gate then down and right to get the potion then
to the left through a false wall. Go up before the gate, as far as
you can. On the right there is a ledge with a floor plate to open
the gate just below. Go down and right through the gate you just
opened. Go right and make the false ceiling fall. Go up and right
to fight the babe, keep right and exit.
Level 7
Go right as far as you can then up left and back down to the
left for a door plate. Be careful, the floor drops. Then go up and
left to fight the guard. Drop left and go through the gate. Keep
going left until you get to the guard, then jump across and go
up. The next lever for the gate to the left is on the ledge above
the gate. Continue left then go past the guillotine. Go up one screen
and back up and a little up is a false ceiling (go left and up for a
potion). Go right through the two guillotines to open the gate. Go
left then back down and through the gate to the exit.
Level 8
Left and up, midway, jump right and grab the ledge. Go up as far
as possible and go right to fight the guard. After the guard, go up
and left to open the gate by the guard. Pass the guillotine and
make the floor drop. Then back to the lever for the guard door
but go up this time. Go right and fight the guard. Go right as far
as you can to the gate and continue to fight the guard. Go down
and right to get the lever to go.
Level 9
Go left and fight the guard over the conveyor belt and through
the left gate. Go left and pass the gate then up and left to fight
the next guard. When you see your ghost just go across and hold
onto the ledge with the gate. Drop into it.
Level 10
Make sure to be holding the button to grab the ledge or you'll
die. Go left and fight the skeleton. Keep following the path up.
There is a potion along the left wall. There is a big jump across
a bridge with a portion missing. After the jump continue up and
right. There is some though jumping here as well so be alert.
Keep right and kill the skeleton then get the pressure plate
for the gate above the screen to the left and up to exit.
Level 11
From the door go right and then right again to the guard. After
disposing of him, go up and right to the next guard. Follow caverns

open the caves a few more screens. When you get to a closed gate,
go to the right and watch out for the flames. Then keep right and exit.

From the entrance go right and fight the guard and pass another
guillotine; keep going right. When you reach a dead end, hit the
false ceiling and go up. Follow the passage past the next
guard/guillotine and get the potion. Go down and right then
down and left past a guillotine. Make a big jump across to the
left and follow the passage right. There is a very different room
to the right with a guillotine and two pressure plates. The trick is
not to jump onto them once in the middle of the room, as this
closes the gate to the right. Then go back around but instead of
going up after the big jump, go down and left. Go left two screens
and make a blind jump left to a ledge. Go left to fight a guard and
find a false ceiling at a dead end. Jump up and through it. Then go

on the other side of the exit. Back up and through the gate; the
lever is on the right by the guillotine. Fight the next guard and
continue left. You will need to drop off the conveyor belt and
drop. Then jump left past a hidden wall. Follow the passage up
and around. When you reach a dead end you can go up through a
hidden passage for a potion. Go back over the conveyor belt and
