-
- Tally-ho! This arcader puts you on
-
- horseback for a challenging steeple
-
- chase. But "National Velvet" it
-
- ain't-- you won't be jumping wooden
-
- gates and stone walls or splashing
-
- through puddles. Instead, you must
-
- negotiate treacherous mushroom
-
- obstacles while fending off killer bee
-
- attacks with your trusty bow and
-
- arrow.
-
-
- You try to jump your horse over as
-
- many mushrooms as you can by pressing
-
- your fire button when you want the
-
- horse to leap. If you misjudge the
-
- leap and your mount collides with the
-
- mushroom, you lose that horse. (You
-
- get five horses.) After you jump over
-
- 15 mushrooms, you reach another, more
-
- difficult, level.
-
-
- At the higher levels, you must
-
- contend with the killer bees. To
-
- shoot an arrow, push "up" on the
-
- joystick.
-
-
- You receive points for each
-
- mushroom you jump as well as for each
-
- bee that you kill. The amount of
-
- points that you receive is dependent
-
- the level that you are on.
-
-
- One more thing....you can change
-
- the speed of the game by pressing
-
- keys 1 through 9 during the
-
- introduction music; the lower the
-
- number, the faster the game. The
-
- normal, or "default" speed is 5.
