- The story comes from an earlier
- version of the game, that was wayover
- 2k:
-
- "Welcome brave knight!" says Lord
- Macbeth. "I hope you can help. The 8
- rings of our kingdom have been
- scattered throughout the land.
- Please find and return them!"
-
- Lord Macbeth is much more terse
- now that his kingdom has been reduced
- to fit in 2048 bytes, but he still
- wants the same thing -- for you to
- find the 8 lost rings that are
- scattered throughout his world. Along
- the way you'll encounter terrible
- creatures, towns complete with inns
- and armouries, mountains, plains,
- forests, lakes, rivers and even
- sinister caves!
-

- Controls:

- You will be prompted on screen
- for any other instructions, such as
- "ATTACK OR RUN?" (press <A> or <R>).
-
- "GP" stands for Gold Pieces, and
- "HP" is for "Health Points".
-
- The combat system is loosely
- based on the Fighting Fantasy
- gamebook series. A better sword
- doesn't cause more damage, it just
- increases your chances of hitting
- your enemy.

- Thanks:
-
- Steve Judd (Wyndex) for the great
- tunes and player, and all the
- encouragement and help with getting
- this thing under 2k.
-
- Per Olofsson (MagerValp) for the
- tiles and encouragement (and always
- being there on IRC!). MV also drew up
- a very cool sprite for the main
- character, but there really wasn't
- room to include it.
-
- Bogax for help with the random
- number generator (he bettered my
- routine by something like 9 bytes!).
-
- Matthew Westcott (and anyone else?)
- for organizing and getting this thing
- going. You've motivated many NTSC C64
- dudes (except one lamer :)
-
- [DAVE'S MOST INNOCENT] Moi?
-
- into coding, and that's great!
-
- Carla and the kids for putting up
- with me while working on this.
