Cap'N Rescue
============

The Story
---------
You are Captain Robert Goode, well respected 
and recognised around the globe for your
many achievements. Seperated from your
crew, and captured by the evil witch
Mortyna, your soul has been placed in the body 
of your pet monkey.

No longer perceived as a threat in your
simian form you have been left to wander
in Mortyna's fortress, but memories of 
your human life drive you to find your 
body, and the potion that will return you
to it.



The Game
--------
Move around Mortyna's fortress avoiding the 
enemies and collecting as much of the treasure
as you can to improve your final ranking.

The game ends when you find the room
containing Captain Goode's human body and
collect the potion.

Collecting the eleven bonus items will give you 
a higher rank.

Touching enemies or falling too far can kill
you, as can colliding with static spikes - 
collect the boxes marked +1 to gain extra
lives.

Possible FAQ's
--------------
Q: When was CAP'N RESCUE written?
A: Autumn to Winter 2014.

Q: Who is Stephen Nichol?
A: A kid who got a ZX Spectrum + 48k in 1992,
   which may not have been the best timing
   ever given the collapse of the 8-bit industry,
   that was by then in progress but, he didn't mind 
   too much as his first system was a wood panelled
   console and didn't have a keyboard to program
   with.

Q: What other games has Stephen written?
A: This is his first complete and original game on
   any computer system.

Q: Have I seen this game anywhere before?
A: The intention is that this is an original
   game, although the Manic Miner control template 
   in AGD was used and obviously 2D platform games
   have a long, well established history. 

Q: Which version of AGD was used to make CAP'N RESCUE?
A: Version 4.6. It's quite stable and AGD and the 
   extra features of AGD 4.6 were appealing.

Q. I'm stuck, are there any cheats?
A. There are no built in cheats to find, sorry.

Q. Seen as how Jonathan Cauldwell wrote AGD, any
   favourite games by the man himself?
A. Haunted House - it was on one of the 1992 Your
   Sinclair covertapes and the graphics were lush.
   Also Albatrossity - it was the first game I ever
   completed every level of on the ZX Spectrum 
   without pokes or a walkthrough.
