PSSST

All he has to do is figure out which spray kills each insect
outright, as the wrong spray will only stun them momentarily. If
Robbie leaves his plant unattended the insects will swarm all
over it, eat the leaves and the plant will wilt, shrivel back and die.

Little vermin. Leave my plant alone. Oy! My plant's dying. No!
No! Nasty bugs sucking the life from my Thyrgodain Megga
Chrisanthodil, make her shrink, wilt and die. I'll soon put a
stop to their little game, quick Spray-O-This'll sort 'em out.
There! Take that and that! Ha! Ha! Musn't die, mustn't die. It's
got to flower, it must do. It said on the packet "takes between
two and five minutes to grow", it can't be much longer, won't
be long now.

Why! you little .... Quickly get the Super Space Slug Spray and
then the Leech Laser. Quick, quick. Thet breed so fast, can't
hold them back for long. Hurry! Hurry! ..... Arrggg .....

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

Plant the seeds in good soil, growth can be speeded up by
collecting all compost bags, keeping young shoots free from all
garden pests and by looking after the leaves, which collect
sunlight. Remember, the more leaves the plant has, the faster
it will grow. As the young shoots give off an exotic aroma, the
plant is especially prone to and will in fact attract hoards of
Interstellar Space Slugs, Scuttling Leeches and Menacing
Midges. Use of correct repellants will prevent all of these attacks.
Please note: Only approximately 20% of all plants will blossom
and reveal Robbie's Ultimate dream. Growing time
approximately 2 to 5 minutes.

you may find furniture, food, drink, objects, Ghosts, Ghouls
and Monsters. Eat and drink sparingly so that you do not deplete
your food supply. Collect and utilise any objects you find to your
best advantage, be wary of slamming doors and working
trapdoors which will try to trap you and avoid contact with all
the Ghouls and Monsters, as each of these will use their best

JET PAC

But! as you don't often get the chance of a free trip across the
Galaxy, and space travel is, oh, so expensive, now is your chance
to get rich! You might as well just stop off on several planets
on your journey, collect the odd sack of precious gems, elements
or gold, and take them back with you.

SOUNDS SIMPLE DOESN'T IT!

But! before you go and make yourself the richest person in the
whole Universe, you must remember to refuel your Spaceship,
every time you land on a planet, with 6 fuel pods. Any other
goodies you collect are yours to keep. Upon landing, you will
find yourself equipped with the very latest Hydrovac JET PAC,
which can automatically air lift almost any rocket stage, fuel pod
or valuables, you care to land upon, and release them over the
rocket ship base, plus the megga powerful Quad Photon Laser
Phasers, to blast any nasty, mean, little aliens who might object
to your visit.

And my! do those aliens get upset when you collect all of their
valuables, and sneak off, without so much as a by-your-leave.

ALIEN 8

The planet's final end draws near as the last, most vital piece of
equipment is loaded aboard, activated, and the hatchways
closed. The ULTIMATE evolution ALIEN 8 cybot whirrs into an
artificial cybernetic rush of intelligence. All hatchways are sealed,
as the starship prepares for its long uniterrupted journey into
the inky void of space.

THE JOURNEY

Aeons pass and still the ALIEN 8 unit is functioning perfectly,
gliding swiftly and silently around on multi-sealed-thermotion
bearings in waxolight shrouds. The very pinnacle of robotic
development from a now long dead planet, on its immense task
of keeping the cryogenically immersed cryonaughts activated by
preserving and maintaining their life support systems and
waiting .....

The long journey is near completion as the central computer
alerts you to the nearing of the predestined solar system. The dust
of aeons lies heavy on the ageing data banks of the central
computing core, tired from centuries of repetitive computing
and re-computing, at last activating the final sequential landing
operations.

The craft begins its final slowing sequence several hundred light
years from the destined planet and as, almost immediately the
starship slows to sub-hyper-warp speeds, is open to attack.

All the starship main defence systems have remained
unactivated, as the reverse polarity negative-ion thrusters battle
and strain to halt the enormous bulk of the ship.

The main computer reports Alien penetration in almost all areas
of the ship and all life support systems have become damaged
and deactivated. All cryogenic systems must be reactivated
before autophase thrusting systems manoeuvre the ship into its
semi-cyclic planetary orbit, at 0 light years from the planet.

Your programming insists that you complete the mission and
restore all cryogenic life support systems to operation.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

THE STARSHIP
A. The starship is at risk to Alien intrusion at lower than
hyper-warp speeds. As lesser beings have not yet developed
the mental ability to contemplate travel at this speed,
hyper-warp is relatively safe and untroubled.
Once the starship's speed falls below hyper-warp speed,
upon its approach, at several hundred light years from the
planet, it will become vulnerable to attack and Alien intrusion.

B. Once the starship has slowed down into sub/hyper-warp
speeds, and enters semi-cylic orbit the ship will not have
enough fuel to enable a recovery to be made.

C. The starship is equipped with indestructable multi-control
directional robodroids.

ALIEN 8 PROGRAMMING

A. All cryonaughts must remain activated.

B. Locate and recover all thermolec valves and ALIEN 8
replacement packs.

C. Ensure all thermolec valves are in correct socket, to ensure
continuing activation.

D. Locate and activate all cryogenic chambers.

E. All cryonaughts must remain activated prior to the planet
being reached, for them to effect the final landing sequence.

F. You have been issued with 5 initial replacement packs, other
packs may be located throughout the starship. These will
prolong your existence upon damage by collisions etc.

SABRE WULF

Darker and darker, deeper and deeper. It is the end that I fear,
of this untrodden voyage ... to where I do not know ...
AARRRGGGG ... THUDDD.

THE WARNING

THY PATH IS LONG SO TREAD WITH CARE
BEWARE THE WULF AND PASS HIS LAIR
DANGER THREATENS ALL AROUND
SO TAKE YE FROM THIS HIDDEN MOUND
TO FREE THEE FROM THIS SUNKEN GATE
BY WAY OF CAVE OR MEET THY FATE
AN AMULET TO SEEK THY WILL
'TWAS SPLIT BY QUAD AND HIDDEN STILL
PASS THE KEEPER WROUGHT WITH HATE
TO GAIN AN ENTRANCE TO THE GATE
THE PIECES LOST MUST THEE AMAS
FOR IF NO CHARM THEN NON SHALL PASS.

THE EXPLORATION

I edge through the shady mounded clearing and on through the
dense thickets of hot house rain forest undergrowth, of sorts I
cannot tell, and wait ... and listen ... Distant rumblings of heavy
feet crashing, large animals leap from the damp green stubble,
to fight and kill. I stay hidden ... The rumblings grow louder and
louder, as a huge Goliath animal crashes past, horns swiping
and tail lashing, still I hide as its thunderous noise dies away.

All was clear as I leapt over the clumps and onto the well trodden
pathway, its deep ruts and prints reveal the multitude of life
forms inhabiting this hollow. Danger threatens so I should move
quickly ... but Where???

THE EXPEDITION

Wide eyed, I stare, as the dense surroundings reveal their hidden
secrets ... Strange food orchids suddenly bloom, their staining
toxins, strong on the air, then, in an instant, are gone. Hunters,
killers, vampire bats and huge beasts spring forth from the very
ground, swimming, slithering, diving and crawling ... I must hide
... Stay safe ... With weapon strong and cunning nature, I will
survive ...

NIGHTSHADE

THE LOST VALLEY

Somewhere between the purple mountains, and the seas of the
Seven Islands, lies a hidden valley, a land that time has not
touched.

All remained peacful and tranquil until darkness descended
upon the land, light and freedom were banished from its homely
hills and the evil seed set.

Death and hunger spread, and all who remained within the walls
of the village became stricken or hag ridden with haunted evil.
All who had deserted the village sought refuge elsewhere. The
village was now in complete control by darkness.

THE PLAGUES

The remaining people, weak and afflicted were unable to leave
and soon became enveloped by the victorious evil force,
transmutted by some terrible disease into the most hideously
foul creatures. They wander their once peaceful village,
producing deadly plagues, and fall fouls, to enslave anyone who
dares trespass into the village, to try to defeat the evil overlord.

THE STORY TELLER

Many years had passed since the village became over-run, and
soon the knowledge of the village slipped into legend.

Songs were sung and tales were told of brave adventurers who
ventured into the valley to find and destroy the evil force and
never to return, of the riches that could be gained from the
successful adventure, and the evil which lay in wait for anyone
who dared to set foot in the evil enchanted NIGHTSHADE
village.

The old story teller's eyes widen into fiery gems as he recalls
and re-lives the tale of battle with the force of evil at work in the
NIGHTSHADE village.

"Tales of ghosts and mad monks enslaved by evil forces to do
their bidding and of plagues and foul demons let loose on
the village. Even death itself was imprisoned within the village
of NIGHTSHADE as an un-invited guest of the evil one."

The old man continues:
"Skeletons with rotting flesh dripping with the blood of the long
dead, waiting, prowling the now empty village for live prey."

"Hideous demons" he croaks, "and terrible ailments and spells
waiting to absorb any who dares anger the evil force. Lift
the darkness and the Kingdom of NIGHTSHADE shall be yours
forever."

The old man slumps back exhausted into the tall carved wooden
chair. You extract as much information as you possibly can from
him, but he can tell you little more than where to find the village.

You set off down the valley and enter the forbidden
NIGHTSHADE village.

This story is continued by playing the most Advanced Home
Computer Action Adventure simulation.

KNIGHT LORE

THE WEREWULF

My journey's end is near, as the last few ebbs of daylight dance
fleetingly in the cooling twilight, and then suddenly dart off to
chase the red sinking sun. Behind me I feel night's dark icy
fingers slither up long looming shadows, hiding behind large
mounds and boulders, watching my every mood ... silently
waiting ....

For days I have journeyed from the realms of the old jungle wulf
to 'KNIGHT LORE' castle to seek the old dying Wizard and ask
for his help to free me from this deathly curse ... For countless
nights I have slept chained to trees to keep my deathly curse at
bay, but now I am here ....

My footsteps echo around the damp mossy walls of the large
chamber, as I enter through the open main gateway, colossal
doors judder open in an untouched groaning symphony,
beckoning me forward on my quest.

I sense the old Wizard's gaze playing upon me, encapsulated
within the labyrinth of traps and tests, to keep out all but the
most persistent of unwanted quests who seek an audience with
the great wizard MELKHIOR.

Suddenly a cool blue mist starts to ebb forth from the cracks in
the ancient stone-work. As it does so it begins to take form and
become a powerful swimming swirling vortex of energy,

Over all the noise can be heard the chanting and singing of
long forgotten tunes all sung in a blur of forgetfulness.

THE MIST TUNES

The Wizards older now than all
His help you seek within this wall
For forty days your quest may last
Locate the potion make it fast
This hideous spell upon your soul
To lose its hold must be your goal
Beware, the traps from here begin
The cauldron tells what must go in
To break the curse and make the spell
To save yourself and make you well

The mist suddenly ceases its action and dissipates as quickly as
it came. I drop to the floor and with full knowledge of the old
Wizard I begin my quest.

Dimly lit tortches light the massive stone walls, their tired
flickering flames never seeming to penetrate the inky darkness
for more than a few feet ...

Crystalline Merkyls, hideous Hobgoblins, stand frozen on huge
monoliths, glittering in the cool trembling moonlight.
Encapsulated by the old wizard long ago, they await their fate
in an un-ending task of defence, silent and stoney.

This is to be their everlasting fate as guardians of KNIGHT LORE
castle, until the ultimate death of the old sorcerer ....

The moon has risen quickly and in the fulless of its cool blue
light, I become a Werewulf ...

My fate is now all too clear, I have but forty days and forty nights
to find the old Wizard and seek his help and magical instruction,
before my tourmented soul becomes forever a Werewulf.

COOKIE

Charlie the Chef, keeps all the ingredients locked away in the
pantry, only letting them out when he wants to cook them!

Now this makes them jolly uspset, let me tell you.,

So! As soon as they can, the ingredients dash out of the pantry
dragging all the sorts of nasties found in the bottom of drawers
and cupboards, with them, to escape and run wild.

Poor old Charlie! he has to daze the ingredients with his flour
bombs and knock them into the mixing bowl, because if they
go into the dustbins they will be eaten by the bin monster, who
doesn't care one little bit where he throws any of his rubbish.

Should any rubbish or nasties get into the cake mix then
the "ingredients needed" counter will change, and Charlie will have
to work quicker and faster if he's going to bake his cake.
