Through The Trap Door

=====================



Programmed by Don Priestley





Berk is back! And he is getting ready to make the fearsome, awesome, totally

terrifying expedition down Through The Trap Door.



If you have seen the creepy critters that live down there, you may well wonder

why. But the truth is he has no choice. boni has been captured and taken down

into the the gloomy depths, so Berk and little Drut must go to the rescue, no

matter what nasties they come up against. And what about all those potions lying

about waiting to be drunk. Could they be helpful, could they mean trouble, or

could they even cause (gasp) constant ponging! Speed, skill and daring will be

necessary to get out alive!



PLAYING THE GAME



Berk is about to carry out another task for his master, the Bad Tempered Thing,

when his faithful companion Boni is snatched from under his very nose by an

awful aparition from beneath the dreaded Trap Door.



Playing the part of the fearless Berk and his miniscule sidekick Drutt, you must

boldly go forth on a rescue mission and face the unknown perils that lurk below.



CONTROLS



Users definable keyes. If REDEFINE isn't selected the controls default to the

following :



Left  Z

Right X

Up    Q

Down  A

Fire  C



The JOYSTICK option given is for Kempston type interface only, but most other

joysticks can be used by redefining the keys to those they use eg. Protek uses

cursor keys 5,6,7,8,0.



You can play Bert or Drutt. Press fire key to alternate from one to the other.



The other four controls are to move left, right, back and forward, push objects,

jump, pick things up and put things down or eat them! These actions are all

dependent on whom you are controlling and the stage of the game.



HINTS



Neither Berk nor Drutt will get very far without helping each other. Either can

encounter nasty situations where the other will be able to come to the rescue.



Small objects are scattered about for Berk to eat, all of which have strange

effects, either helpful or disastrous. You need to use some of them, so

experiment!
