The monsters are on the loose, heading out of their caves in the badlands
|
||
|
|
and into the cities. They are coming to cause chaos, cry havoc and inflict
|
||
|
|
terrible destruction, as they search for the Roc's eggs. The giant horned
|
||
|
|
ogre and the hideous dragon are out to seek revenge on the humans who have
|
||
|
|
for so long driven them back into the highlands.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Destroy the towns to find Roc's eggs, take them back to your cave, then
|
||
|
|
providing that you can beat off the challenge from the other monsters and
|
||
|
|
collect a hoard of five eggs, you will head off the volcano and find the
|
||
|
|
golden egg to win the game.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OGRE
|
||
|
|
Born in a damp cave north of the island, you have always had a hard life.
|
||
|
|
When you were just a little ogre none of the other monster children would
|
||
|
|
play with you, and now if you go into town, all the humans scream and fire
|
||
|
|
cannon at you. It could have something to do with the fact that you are
|
||
|
|
twenty feet tall, with a horn in the middle of your forehead.
|
||
|
|
Alternatively, it could be your halitosis, which is so bad it sets things
|
||
|
|
on fire. Or even the fact that you can knock down stone walls with your
|
||
|
|
fits. Anyway, now it is your turn to get your revenge, you are going to
|
||
|
|
claim the golden egg.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DRAGON
|
||
|
|
So what do you do if you happen to be an eighteen foot tall green scaly
|
||
|
|
dragon, with a spiked tail and a penchant for young ladies, preferably
|
||
|
|
flame grilled in your own breath? Well, you set up home in the mountains
|
||
|
|
and start work on your first hoard and try and terrorize the neighborhood.
|
||
|
|
So when you learn that the infuriating ogre is after the golden egg that
|
||
|
|
lies under the volcano, there is nothing to do but head into town and try
|
||
|
|
to get there first.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
THE ISLAND
|
||
|
|
Darance is a quiet, peaceful island, where the humans go about their daily
|
||
|
|
business with a smile on their face and a song in their heart, ah! They
|
||
|
|
are totally unaware that they are about to receive a visit from two of the
|
||
|
|
most terrible and ferocious monsters ever to see the light of day.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
THE CITIES
|
||
|
|
Awaiting your destruction there are twelve cities. These include a
|
||
|
|
primitive village of straw huts, a wild west fort, a Chinese pagoda, an
|
||
|
|
Indian temple, and many others before your final goal of the famous
|
||
|
|
volcano.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GAME PLAY
|
||
|
|
In each city you need to destroy the buildings until you find the Roc's
|
||
|
|
egg. There is an egg hidden in most but not all of the cities. You will
|
||
|
|
need to punch the buildings to demolish them, or flame them to set them on
|
||
|
|
fire, while fighting off the other creatures on the screen. Watch out for
|
||
|
|
the hornets that fly across the screen and sting you. Be wary of the
|
||
|
|
weapons the humans try to bring to bear. You will need to destroy these
|
||
|
|
before they destroy you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FOOD
|
||
|
|
You can eat the hamburgers and the people. These increase your health,
|
||
|
|
thus enabling you to continue your destruction for longer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FIRE POWER
|
||
|
|
Collect the lightning to increase your fire power. This increases the
|
||
|
|
amount of damage done by your flames.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
HEALTH
|
||
|
|
Every time you are hit your health decreases. If your health reaches zero
|
||
|
|
you will die a very bloody death.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
COMPLETING A LEVEL
|
||
|
|
When you have captured the egg you will take this back to your treasure
|
||
|
|
cave. Unfortunately, life is never easy and you will need to fight to keep
|
||
|
|
your treasure. When you have succeeded in gathering a hoard of five eggs,
|
||
|
|
you can go to the volcano and try to capture the big one, the final Roc's
|
||
|
|
egg, a golden egg to surpass all others.
