"The dozens of screens to map and explore, objects to collect and nasties to zap make this a game that you won't complete quickly."
Electron User

Introduction

Ghosts and Hobgoblins that can kill with a touch, skeletal reincarnations of long dead creatures armed with knives and axes, phantom bowmen with endless supplies of arrows. All these and more must be overcome if you are to recover the Golden Orb of Altoris. 60 screens of all action arcade/adventure.

The Story

In the far off land of Altoris, surrounded on all sides by dense woods and foul smelling swamps, there lived a peace-loving people ruled by the good and gracious King Garath. Under constant attack from the Hobgoblins and Ghosts of the Swamp Land, it was only the power of the Golden Orb that kept the people safe. Now the Golden Orb has been stolen and darkness has descended over Altoris. The King summoned his only son, Zanok.

"Go forth my son and recover the Golden Orb that has kept us safe all these years" whispered the King. "Arm yourself well, for your journey will be fraught with danger. You will need all of your skill and cunning if you are to recover the Golden Orb and keep our people safe for evermore."

Hints

To increase the power of your weapon, collect a glowing dagger or five glowing treasures (jewels, coins or treasure chests). To increase the range of your weapon, collect a glowing arrow. An extra life is granted for collecting three glowing skulls.
