- OVERVIEW:
-
- Welcome to The Dragon's Domain!! This game was inspired by ADVENTURE
- on the Atari game systems ages ago. The concepts and goals are quite simple
- indeed, but actually accomplishing it is a different matter. You will have
- to face many perils in your quest. 3 great dragons are waiting to stomp
- on you, and many other creatures gaurd key points in your quest, including
- skeletons, fire elementals, ogres, ghosts, and more.
-
-
- TECHNICAL INFO:
-
- This game requires DOS 3.0 or greater, and at least 512k RAM (total).
- The graphics are simple in appearance, but drawn using a new technique I
- have designed using XOR operations and virtual screen memory.
-
-
- RUNNING THE GAME:
-
- To run the game, simply make sure all of it's files are in the same
- directory and type DRAG at the dos prompt. The controsl are extremely
- simple. You use the cursor keys/number keys to steer your guy. SPACEBAR
- is your fire-button. In the beginning of the game you have a stick to
- use as a weapon (very weak), and later you can get the sword.
-
-
- STORY:
- Long long ago, in the land of Tikki-tikki-nowbanna, there was a powerful
- wizard. He was a very good wizard. He defended the land for many centuries
- against evil. One day, his dragons (Fexdon, Rantor, and Kellwith) turned
- against him and took the sacred chalice and hid it. With the chalice gone,
- the wizard was all but powerless. Many evil creatures quickly sprang forth
- and covered the countryside.
- Now a new hero has arrived, YOU! You must find the chalice, and return
- it to it's shrine (which is hidden, by the way). You must navigate four
- seperate mazes, two of which are dark (one is VERY dark indeed). Six castles
- lay ahead of you, each locked with it's own key of the same color as the
- castle. Do you have what it takes to defeat the evil beasts and recover the
- chalice?
