The object of the game is to control Bently the Bear as he runs through the many castles picking up gem stones without getting caught by the enemy.
Here is a brief description of the key elements of the game:
Gem Eaters | ... | Catch them while they are eating for extra points. Avoid them as they move from gem to gem. |
Berthilda | ... | Stay away from the witch unless you are wearing the hat. |
Hat | ... | Put on the hat and you become invincible and can kill the witch. |
Trees | ... | Jump over the trees to stun them. |
Bees | ... | Wait too long and the swarm returns. |
Honey | ... | Pick it up for extra points. |
Use the fire button on either joystick to start the game once it has been loaded. If your final score is over 10,000 points use the joystick to enter your initials in the Hall of Fame.
If a door appears on the first screen you have earned a "warp" to a higher level. To use the warp enter the door and jump.
CLOADM (ENTER)
The game will start automatically.
