- LEAPER
-
- In Leaper you must move Leaper the frog from the bottom
- of the screen to one of the openings at the top. You must
- avoid the vehicles driving back and forth on the road and
- then hop on the logs and turtles to get across the river.
-
- Start the game by typing LEAPER and pressing the enter
- key. The opening screen will ask if you are using a color or
- monochrome monitor. Press C or M accordingly. The title
- screen will then appear.
-
- When at the title screen:
-
- Enter - Starts the game.
-
- H - Brings up a help screen giving a brief summary of
- the instructions.
-
- J - Switches to joystick control. (Make sure your
- joystick is centered before pressing J.)
-
- K - Switches to keyboard control.
-
- S - Displays the ten highest scores.
-
- Ctrl-Esc - Quits the game and exits to DOS.
-
-
- When playing use the arrow keys or the joystick to move
- Leaper. At the start the game is set up to use the arrow
- keys. To switch to the joystick, press J while the title
- screen is being displayed. The message about "Press J for
- joystick control" should change to "Press K for keyboard
- control." If it doesn't, then the program is having problems
- detecting or reading your joystick.
-
- Pressing P will pause the game until you hit a key.
- Pressing the Q key toggles the sounds on and off. A notes
- symbol in the upper left corner of the screen indicates that
- sounds are on. If you wish to quit before your last frog is
- gone, press the Escape key.
-
- You must move the frog into one of the six empty spaces
- at the top of the screen. Leaper will die if he is hit by a
- vehicle, falls in the water, gets too close to the snake,
- moves too close to the alligator's mouth while it is open, or
- tries to go off the left or right side of the screen. He
- will also be killed if he is moved into a space at the top
- that has already been filled. At the bottom of the screen is
- a line showing much time Leaper has left to make it across.
- A warning beep will sound when the time reaches the red
- portion of the line.
-
- When all the spaces at the top have been filled, you
- will go on to the next level. Upon completing all the
- screens, you will start back at the first screen with a
- shorter time limit.
-
- A new Leaper is awarded every 20,000 points. Scoring is
- based on how far Leaper has traveled and how quickly he made
- it across. You will receive a bonus upon filling all the
- spaces. More points are awarded if you didn't lose any frogs
- on the current screen.
-
- Occasionally a second frog may appear, sitting on a
- log. Extra points are awarded if Leaper hops on this
- frog and then makes it safely across.
-

-
- This is version 2.0 of Leaper. Major changes from
- version 1 are as follows:
-
- Joystick control added. You can now use a joystick or
- the keyboard.
-
- The game speed remains constant, whether it is run on an
- original IBM PC or a 386 machine. The original Leaper ran
- too fast on any machine other than one with an 8088 or 8086
- processor.
-
- Objects on the screen continue to move while sounds are
- being played.
-
- Timer line is three colors instead of one.
-
- Second frog occasionally appears on one of the logs.
-
- Some screens changed. (Number of logs, turtles,
- vehicles, etc. Spacing between objects.)

- LEGACY OF THE NECROMANCER
-
- Over 150 years have passed since the Necromancer's downfall
- and death in the Great War and times have been relatively
- peaceful since then. Your visit to the Adventurers' Museum seems
- harmless enough, but the trip to the Palace of the Necromancer
- that follows causes you to become aware that a force for great
- evil is arising. In the end you must journey to the Black Lands
- of Bakarok and destroy the evil force. What you find and do in
- the Dark Tower will ultimately determine whether or not the
- Necromancer's final legacy is to be a world filled with darkness
- and despair.
- Legacy of the Necromancer consists of three different text
- adventure games. The three games share a common thread, yet each
- game is a complete and separate story unto itself, thus allowing
- you to play the games in whatever order you choose. Each game
- has a vocabulary of over 400 words and understands sentences as
- complex as TAKE ALL BUT THE IVORY DAGGER AND THE RUBY OUT OF THE
- EXHIBIT CASE.
-
- Part I: The Adventurers' Museum - The Adventurers' Museum
- has been robbed by a wily demon, who has hidden his stolen loot
- away in a nearby cave, setting up traps and obstacles for the
- unwary person attempting to regain the treasures. While passing
- by the museum you are asked by the museum's curator to find the
- stolen treasures and return them to the museum.
- Part II: The Palace of the Necromancer - In search of
- treasure you follow a magic map to the Necromancer's former
- stronghold in the north, a great palace built into the side of a
- mountain. Within the palace you must dodge wandering orcs, learn
- to turn lead into gold, and figure out the ways past various
- obstacles while searching for treasure and discovering the
- palace's secrets.
- Part III: The Dark Tower - Your explorations have revealed
- that the world is in serious peril from an ancient evil. Vandar
- the wizard has given you the dubious task of seeking out and
- destroying that evil. Your failure could mean the end of all
- that is good in the world. You must wander the Black Lands of
- Bakarok and explore the Dark Tower, searching for things to aid
- you in the destruction of this evil force while eluding and
- outwitting orcs, demons, and other former servants of the
- Necromancer.
-
- Part I is shareware and may be purchased for $15.00.
- Individually, Parts II and III cost $19.95 each. A combination
- package of all three games may be purchased for $45.00.
