INTRODUCTION
Princess Daphne has been kidnapped by the Evil Wizard Mordroc and
whisked away to a wrinkle in time.  Mordroc will force Daphne into
marriage unless Dirk the Daring can rescue her.

You, as Dirk, must travel through time with the help of an aging time
machine.  During your quest you must face and conquer the unique
dangers of several dimensions in time.

Follow the Wizard to the dreaded dimension where you must confront and
defeat him before he places the ring of death on Daphne's finger and
she's lost forever in the Time Warp.

STARTING THE GAME
After the game has loaded, the demo mode will automatically begin.  The
demo runs through scenes from the first disk and then returns to the
title screen and credits.  To start playing the game simply press the
(0) on the keypad at any time.  You will know the game has started
when the player score screen appears.  This screen shows your score
and the number of lives you have remaining.  The first scene will then
load automatically.

PLAYING DRAGON'S LAIR II: TIME WARP
You do not directly control all of Dirk's actions, rather you control
his reactions to the events that happen around him.  As you watch the
animation, you must decide in which direction Dirk should move on the
screen and when.

To finish a scene successfully you must make a move or press the fire
button (zero (0) on the numeric keypad) when Dirk is in danger.  Timing
is very critical and often you may make the correct move but at the
wrong time.  Also, many scenes require more than one move.  If you are
having trouble, watch the animation carefully and move Dirk in the
safest direction or if no direction is safe press the fire button
to use Dirk's laser gun or staff.

If you're sure you have the correct move, try varying the time when you
make the move, a little sooner or a little later.  Don't be surprised if
Dirk doesn't move immediately after you have made a move.  You must wait
for the animation to finish and if you made the correct move(s) you will
continue on to the next scene.

You have three lives and the game will end if you lose all of your lives
or when you have completed all of the scenes on the disks.

From time to time it will be necessary to change the disk in the drive.
After you have finished all the animations on a disk you will be asked to
insert the next disk do that the game can continue.  NEVER eject one
of the game disks while you are playing, unless you are prompted, or
you may damage the disk!

CONTROLS
There are two ways of controlling Dirk, either by using the joystick
(You should plug your joystick into Port 2) or else you can control
Dirk by using the numeric keypad on your keyboard.  The directions you
will need when using the numeric keypad are UP (8), DOWN (2), LEFT (4)
and RIGHT (6).  To use Dirk's laser gun or staff press the FIRE BUTTON
on the joystick or the '0' on the keypad.

ENDING THE GAME
The game will come to an end after you have lost three lives.  To stop
playing the game simply reset your computer.  You can then safely remove
the disk in the drive.

PLAYING SCENE ONE
As the scene begins, we see Dirk sitting at the breakfast table
with his family.  A noise causes Dirk to look up in surprise to
see his mother-in-law enter the room and climb up onto the table
swinging a large rolling pin.  When Dirk's mother-in-law first starts
to swing the rolling pin, press left on the joystick or the '4'
key on the keypad and Dirk will leap to safety as the pin swings
down to destroy the chair on which he was sitting.

SCENE 2 - DRAWBRIDGE
Followed by his screaming mother-in-law, Dirk finds himself on the
drawbridge of a familiar castle.  In the water below, several green
tentacles watch and wait as Dirk seems trapped.  Dirk must avoid the
tentacles, keep an eye open for his mother-in-law and flee into the
castle.

SCENE 3 - CASTLE ENTRANCE
Dirk has entered the castle just ahead of his mother-in-law, but the
castle is full of lingering monsters.  As the angry woman rushes through
the door, a snake appears, attempting to swallow Dirk alive.  Dirk
needs to hit the snake and continue to run.

castle's hidden depths, but the snake isn't through with him yet.
Dirk must escape from the snake by proceeding into the darkness.

SCENE 5 - MOTHER-IN-LAW RIDING SNAKE
Although Dirk thought he had left his mother-in-law somewhere up above,
he has been pursued into the shaft.  She swings down on the same snake
Dirk just missed, wielding the rolling pin.  Dirk's only escape is to
avoid the rolling pin by jumping from one side of the shaft to the
other and then riding the snake to uncertain safety.

Behind him Dirk hears his mother-in-law struggling inside the shaft
he has just emerged from.  Dirk must react quickly as the ledge he
stands on starts to crumble away.

an enormous hole.  There's no choice but to fall into the hole but Dirk
must avoid the pillar as it teeters on the edge of the chasm.

SCENE 8 - FINDS TIME MACHINE
Falling through the hole above, Dirk appears in a treasure room on

rises out of the coins that fill the room.  Dirk must hit the snake's
head and avoid the coils trying to wrap themselves around him.

SCENE 9 - TIME MACHINE LIFTED INTO THE AIR

As Dirk stumbles atop the Time Machine, the green snake strikes again,
first with its gaping jaws and then with its lashing tail.

Balancing the Time Machine in the air, the serpent tries to shake
Dirk off.  The only escape seems to be towards the skeleton of
some long dead Dragon.

SCENE 11 - INSIDE RIB CAGE
Dirk moves forward to explore the interior of the rib cage.  From
above, the serpent lunges at Dirk's head.  Dirk must swipe at the
leering snake with his sword and then dodge a pack of skulls as
they attack from up above.

SCENE 12 - SLIDES TOWARDS THE TIME MACHINE
Outside the rib cage again, Dirk slides towards the waiting Time
Machine, but the serpent is waiting also.  How can Dirk activate the
Time Machine without being eaten by the attacking serpent?  Dirk must
hit the snake again and search the machine for an 'ON' switch.

SCENE 13 - SERPENT ATTACKS DIRK ON TIME MACHINE
As Dirk listens to the Time Machine explaining what he must do to
activate it, the serpent wraps itself around Dirk's legs.  Struggling
with his sword, Dirk must swipe at the snake's coils and defend himself
against the serpents lunging atatcks.

SCENE 14 - ACTIVATES TIME MACHINE

avoid the jaws of the second.

SCENE 16 - DIRK FLIES BY MORDROC

at the dangling Dirk, who, must avoid the swinging rod.

Dirk regains his senses after having landed safely on the ledge to
see Princess Daphne who is being held captive by two large Centaurs.
The terradactyls haven't given up yet and they swoop down from the sky
above to attack the sprawling hero.  Dirk must kill the two large
reptiles as the centaurs fly off into the clouds with the princess.
To one side a pair of feathery wings sit that Dirk must use to follow
the fleeing kidnappers as he is again attacked, this time by smaller
terradactyls.

Having lost his wings, Dirk and Daphne land on the Time Machine.
Before he can activate the machine, Dirk loses his sword and it

in order to use the Time Machine.  As Dirk leaps into the mud one
of the centaurs lands next to the Time Machine, grabs the
struggling Daphne and carries her back to the waiting Mordroc.
Dirk can only swing fruitlessly at the fleeing centaur and then return
to the Time Machine to continue travelling through the Time Warp.

Climbing up the vine, Dirk is confronted by a fat, little angel who

continue up the vine.

SCENE 24 - AT THE GATES OF EDEN
Emerging from the clouds, Dirk finds himnself at the gates to a large

branches that will lead him to relative safety.

SCENE 27 - THE SNAKES OF EDEN
Having evaded the garden keepers, Dirk finds himself confronted by two

chasm below.

SCENE 29 - RIDING THE SNAKES OF EDEN
Holding onto one of the snakes, Dirk is carried to the far end of the
tree standing tall above them.  One of the snakes won't be content until
Dirk is sitting deep in the pit of its stomach and continues to lunge
at the knight while the other unwraps its coils.

outstretched finger.

Wizard grows, Dirk must jump to retrieve his lost sword and flee the
changing Mordroc.

SCENE 40 - DESTROYS THE GAS BAG

the rocks and swing at the hulking, pink form.

The Wizard lies dead at Dirks's feet, exploded into a million pieces,
but the explosion has caused the entire cavern to shake and begin to
