  Y = Get the bell (lets you destroy the Red Dragon)
  U = Get the Purple Dinosaur (God knows what this does!)

Hints
=====

- You can't open gates in swimming mode. Just press 2 to go into Walking mode and then open a gate.

- Your items will automatically be placed into your inventory. just press the SPACEBAR to make it the current item in use.

- To get passed certain grey/silver gates, you will require pieces of the Talisman.

- If you fancy completing the game in about 30 seconds, here's what to do:
  - From the first screen, press 3 to go into swimming mode
  - Go up
  - Press 0 to get the candle
  - Press SPACEBAR to activate the candle
  - Go left
  - Stop infront of the gate
  - Press 2 to go back into Walking Mode
  - Push up to jump back onto the ground
  - The ending starts :-) 

Remember - the original game is always there and you don't have to press anything if you don't want any of the features - which is a little different than the usual trainers that only give you options before it decrunches and then you are stuck with your decisions. More accessibility for the player and much more fun overall :)


Gameplay
========
 
Far, far away, beyond the mists of time and space there is a great city which was protected from the forces of evil by the Golden Talisman. Death and destruction now hang over the city where the 5 pieces of the talisman are scattered in a forbidding labyrinth guarded by the lost souls of your predecessors, reincarnated as monsters.

You must find your way through the maze of tunnels and underground watercourses collecting useful objects on your way. You will need spells as well as continuous firepower to destroy the fireball breathing dragons.

The labyrinth is composed of 64 rooms spread over five levels. Each room consists of 8 screens, making a total of 512 to explore, and each level contains a piece of Talisman, along with various useful objects and the tortured souls of all previous visitors to the maze. 

Before diving into the deep pools, ensure you have enough air and remember you can only climb out onto the hanging ropes.

Your skill and courage can piece together the Talisman, find the evil Wizard who has cursed the city, and release the people from the torment.
