You have to continue your plight on foot through the perilous

undergrowth if a ghoul, zombie, ghost or bat touches you they

drain your energy. You can walk or jump, each requiring more

energy. You can boost your energy by eating the mushrooms (BEWARE

only chance of leaving the forest is by collecting all the

magic crosses.  As your search continues and you near the haunted

graveyard, the ghetto, the cinema and finally the forest. At each

step aware that behind you at any moment may be...
