DESCRIPTION

Unusual platform game, set over a series of increasingly

difficult screens.



CONTROLS:

The keys are redefinable, and certain joysticks can be used.



INSTRUCTIONS

Amongst the barren heights and rugged rocks of the Scottish

Highlands, there is situated Shilmore Castle.  The Castle is

under threat of being purchased and shipped stone by stone to

America by Eugene Portcullis the third (Jnr) a mega-millionaire.

Alarmed by this, Olli and Lissa rush to help their friend Sir

Humphrey, the castle ghost, who was somewhat upset by the

prospect of forced emigration to the New World.  Sir Humphrey

decides that today, Human Beings are only scared by invisible

ghosts.  You must collect eight ingredients for a potion

to make the ghost of Shilmore Castle invisible and save the day.



Playing the Game:

You can use either keyboard or joystick to guide Olli on his

quest through Shilmore Castle.  When the game starts, Sir

Humphrey will tell you which item needs to be dropped into his

cooking pot. You have to avoid other, not so friendly, ghosts on

your way around the castle, and there will also be a time

limit for each task.

faster

NOTES

Very difficult platfrom game, can get annoying on later levels

when touching the wrong part of the screen can mean instant

death. But does have nice graphics and colour.
