MAJIK



Mastertronic, 1988

Clive Wilson and Les Hogarth



THE STORY SO FAR...



King Markham lies on his deathbed but is holding on in the desperate hope

that he will be united with his only son and heir, Prince Gideon, before

finally passing over. However, it is thought that Gideon is being held

captive in the evil clutches of Dolmir - for only Gideon can unite the Clans

of the Reaches and prevent Dolmir's intended domination.



You, The Great Magician Piradon, have been commanded to seek out and rescue

Gideon, but this will be a most difficult task as your magical powers will be

very limited in the lands you are about to journey...



GAMEPLAY



The top four arrow icons allow movement in that direction. If an exit is

available it changes colour to white, if it's not available it is coloured red.

The fifth top icon allows access to the verbs. If you select this icon then

the graphic clears and the verb window appears. To exit the verb window

select EXIT and click fire. Some special verb commands are:



EXIT   = this exits from the verb window, reprints the graphic window and

         returns control to the main icons.

VIEW   = look at an object in your possession.

LOOK   = look at a person.

EXAM   = look at an object in the text window.

SEARCH = a more powerful variant of EXAM.

SPEAK  = allows you to communicate with any of the characters. This command

         should be used to the full.

MAJIK  = this special command performs a magical feat and the result will

         depend upon what situations arise at any one time. This is an

         automatic command.

WAIT   = allows for a passage of time.

SLEEP  = refreshes you when tired.



Any objects present in a location are displayed in the OBJECT window. Any

people present - including yourself - are displayed in the PEOPLW window.



To select the object or person, move the highlight up or down and fire to

select. Whenever you are building up a sentence, a response window appears

across the top of the screen.
