**LOADING INSTRUCTIONS**
The program loads in 3 parts, machine code and data, the title page, then the actual program. To load type in LOAD, followed by a carriage return, then press play on the tape recorder. When "Loading end" is displayed, stop the tape and enter RUN, followed by a carriage return. When the machine code is stored (the Sega will tell you when), press play on the tape recorder. You are now loading the title page. When the title page has loaded, the computer will display "STOP THE TAPE", do just that! Finally when the computer says so, press PLAY on the tape recorder and load in the final program. If everything is going okay you should hear 7 beeps, a wait of about 1½ minutes then a display of "STOP THE TAPE". The game is now ready to play.
**PLAYING INSTRUCTIONS**
Make sure you have a joystick plugged into socket number 1. When the program is loaded you should have on the screen the following:
A purple square with a black border, and the words "MAP" underneath — this is a map of your relative position in the house.
A red square, this is the "text window" — here any relevant messages will be displayed, such as combat, treasure, resting etc.
A grey square with a black border — this is a plan view (i.e. a view from above) of the room you are presently in. A room may have between 1–4 doors leading into other rooms.
A scroll of paper on the right — this displays your score, bolts (bolts are a special way of killing monsters), health (if this reaches zero or lower you are dead!), and gold (a measure of how much treasure you have collected).
Loads straight into SE3K, an emulator of the real
hardware: Z80 CPU, TMS9918A video and SN76489 sound, with the CRT
picture reproduced by the shaders. Nothing to install.
