                                    SIR FRED

                                   ==========





  Instructions:

 ---------------



Once upon a time  there  was  a  wise  old  king  who  ruled over a happy land.

Everyone lived happily ever after - except wicked Baron Hugh  D'Unwyt  and  the

king's  daughter,  whom  he's  kidnapped.   As  all  the other knights are away

a-questing, it falls to the aged and corpulent Sir Fred to rescue her...

 

In classic arcade-adventure style,  Sir  Fred  has  to collect object and solve

problems as he penetrates the defences of Castle Feare, the Baron's stronghold.

The objects are  found  in  different  locations  each  time  you  play,  which

complicates  mapping  somewhat,  but must be used to complete the various tasks

which you'll need to do.  They can  be  picked  up using the Select key and are

displayed along the bottom of the screen.  A blue box highlights the  currently

selected object; to use this object, press the Use key.



Some  weapons  can  only be used a limited number of times, so a little counter

appears above the window and  decrements  every  time the object is used.  Once

the counter gets to zero, Sir Fred loses the weapon and will  need  to  find  a

replacement!  There are a number of weapons to be found including a sword and a

bow  and arrow.  Sir Fred himself has only a limited amount of energy (and only

one life) so you'll need  to  use  the  weapons  to defend him from the various

creatures inhabiting the castle.
