INSTRUCTIONS

Welcome to Strombringer, the concluding episode in the acclaimed

Magic Knight saga.  The story so far...



In previous episodes (Spellbound and Knight Tyme) Magic Knight

rescues his friend and tutor Gimbal the Wizard from a self

inflicted White Out spell, and then finds himself catapulted into

the 25th Century aboard the starship USS Pisces. Having aquired

a secondhand time-machine from the Tyme guardians, Magic Knight

finally reaches his own time and planet - but with a slight

problem; Whilst travelling back, a serious malfunction

occured with the secondhand time machine, and now, horror of

horrors, there are two Magic Knights!



The other Magic Knight is a real nasty piece of work. He calls

himself the "Off White Knight", but locally he is known as the

Stormbringer because of his powerful and dangerous Storm Cloud,

which he is planning to use to destroy Magic Knight.



In your role as Magic Knight, you realise that you cannot kill

Stormbringer, because if you do, you will destroy yourself in the

process, the only way for you to become your old self again is

to merge with him.  Good Luck, Magic Knight!



FEATURES

This game uses an enhanced version of Windimation which players

of Spellbound and Knight Tyme will be familiar with.  This system

allows the player to access windows in which the command choices

are given.

SEQUELS/PREQUELS

There are no sequels, but three prequels - Finders Keepers,

Spellbound, Knight-Tyme, all by Mastertronic.  Spellbound and

Knight-Tyme are both similar games in style, while Finders-

Keepers is a more arcade oriented game, very different from the

others.
