Introduction

The object of the game is to find the wizard's treasure which he has hidden somewhere in his castle.

To do this, you will need to thoroughly explore the castle.

On your travels you will meet many strange creatures, such as the troll, the wicked witch, and the giant spiders.

You will also find objects which will be of use to you, e.g. a sword, a wand, a bucket, several torches, a stool, a ruby and an aqualung.

To negotiate the hazards in the castle will require a combination of skill and hard thinking. All the functions provided need to be used at some time or another. If you get stuck, try to think of all the possible things you can do with the objects you have got, as correct use of the different objects forms the key to the game.

Your score will increase as you explore more of the castle and if you complete the game, bonus points will be awarded for each life remaining, for each piece of treasure stored in your back-pack and for finishing in a fast time.
