About Atari's Adventure

Play like if it was the 80s again.
Created from the original asm code written by Warren Robinett, the C++ port of Peter Hirschberg and the help of OpenCode.

ADVENTURE

1. GOAL
An evil magician has stolen the Enchanted Chalice and has hidden it somewhere in the Kingdom, rescue it and place it inside the Golden Castle where it belongs.
This is no easy task, as the Evil Magician has created three Dragons to hinder you in your quest

2. OBSTACLES
There are three dragons: Yorgie, the Yellow Dragon, who is just plain mean; Grundle, the Green Dragon, who is mean and ferocious; and Rhindle, the Red Dragon, who is the most ferocious of all (who is also the fastest Dragon).
If you get "eaten" by one of the Dragons, do not despair! Press the Reset button to be "reincarnated" in front of the Golden Castle.

3. OBJECTS
Scattered throughout the Kingdom are certain objects to help you. To pick up an object, touch it and to drop the object, press the fire button.

4. GOOD MAGIC
While the Evil Magician has created many hazards to slow you in your quest to rescue the Enchanted Chalice, there is some Good Magic on your side:
* Sword: to slay the Dragons.
* Bridge: can be used to pass over the horizontal walls of any portion of the Kingdom (not between screens). It CANNOT be used to pass a locked Castle Gate.
* In all games, Yorgie, the Yellow Dragon, is afraid of the Gold Key and will run from it, staying away from whatever room in which it may be.
* Remove objects stuck in a wallusing a Magnet. The Magnet can also be used to move objects in an adjacent screens.

5. BAD MAGIC
The Evil Magician has cast a spell to make it difficult for you to succeed in rescuing the Enchanted Chalice. Not only do the Dragons rally around and try to stop you from getting the Enchanted Chalice, they guard other objects in the Kingdom:
* Grundle, the Green Dragon, guards the Magnet, the Bridge, and the Black Key.
* Rhindle, the Red Dragon, guards the White Key.
* When not guarding the Enchanted Chalice, Yorkle, the Yellow Dragon, roams freely about the Kingdom. Sometimes he will assist Grundle or Rhindle in guarding whatever it may be that they are guarding.

Also:
* You cannot carry a slain dragon.
* In Skill Levels 2 and 3 the Evil Magician has created a Black Bat that carries objects arround throughout the Kingdom and trades them for an object that you may be carrying.

6. GOOD OR BAD MAGIC
Some Magic can be good or bad, depending on the situation:
* You can catch the Black Bat and whatever it may be carrying.
* If there are four or more objects (including the Castle Gates) in your area of the Kingdom, your magic may or may not work.
* If you have slain a Dragon, you cannot get through, you can use this to your advantage.
* The Black Bat may be used to your advantage by getting it to swap for an object you need that may be stuck in a wall.

7. GAME OPTIONS
Choose the Skill Level with Select button, switch difficulty modes, and Start button to play.
To begin a new game while in the game press Restart button.

SKILL LEVELS
LEVEL 1
The simplest Skill Level

LEVEL 2
This Kingdom is much larger than Level 1. All objects, the Dragons, and the Black Bat will start in the same
place in the Kingdom each time you play.

LEVEL 3
The Kingdom is the same as Level 2, but is more difficult to play as the Evil Magician has placed all the objects and the Dragons randomly within the Kingdom.

DIFFICULTY SWITCHES
By using the difficulty switches you can increase or decrease the difficulty of the game at each Skill Level.
Left difficulty switch on B position: the Dragons will hesitate before they bite you. On A position it is more difficult to escape them.
Right difficulty switch on A position to make all Dragons run from the Sword.
