Dragonfire © 1982 Imagic

To reach the King's treasures, the Prince runs across the bridge. He must dodge fireballs tossed by Dragon Hatchlings. He nimbly ducks under the high ones and leaps over the low ones. Fortunately, the fireballs can't hurt the Prince if he runs back into the tower at the right end of the bridge.

When the Prince reaches the left side of the bridge, he arrives in the storeroom. He's inside a hiding place he can return to any time. The storeroom is filled with beautiful objects--and a fierce dragon whose very breath can cost the Prince one of his seven precious chances!

When the Dragon looks the other way, the Prince runs to each object and retrieves it for the King. And when he has bravely cleared out the room of its treasures, a way of escape appears. He runs to it and reappears on the bridge, ready for another daring raid.

Help the Prince get as many treasures as possible, before he's hit by fireballs or Dragonfire seven times!

TIPS AND TRICKS

* Don't spend any more time on the bridge than you have to. Cross it as fast as you can and you'll encounter fewer fireballs.

* If you face an impossible combination of fireballs on the bridge, run back to the right tower if you can make it in time...you're safe there. Or make the Prince squeeze through close-trailing fireballs by jumping from a crouch (pull joystick and press button at the same time).

* In the treasure room, run fast to the objects. KEEP MOVING! Return to the hiding place if you need a rest, because the Dragon never stops hunting.
