The olden days are no longer and no longer shall they be. The waves of Time have all engulfed. Is there still anyone remembereth these bygone days when our land was all covered with vast and dark forests and only vague and hazy footpaths gave evidence of some furtive presence of man, who feared the inhospitable world into which he was once brought?... For to protect himself against that hostile environment whereby he was surrounded, he used to build up inaccessible and inpregnable castles behind the high and thick walls whereof he sought some safety and peace. Small communities had scattered about all over the Earth's surface up to the remotest, most hostile and most arid places. Yet they eventually managed to survive and knew work, pain, love, boredom, and even the most terrific evil of all: War. These wars were wars fought with swords and suits of armour, wars during which Heroism was characteristic of those brave men fighting hand to hand in restless fights until the enemy's bloody death...
In this twilight of History man was helpless and his Destiny was dedicated upon him by Forces beyond his control. Indeed, Mystery and Magic were those Forces actually making the rules for man who could do nothing but abide by them on pain of being sentenced to eternal sufferings no medecines, drugs or curing Philtres of any sort whatsoever could possibly heal. Many a King had to bow his head to these rules whereof Sorcerers, Witches, Wizards, and Magicians were the only interpreters effectively reigning with their left hands and ruling with their right. Over and above these tyranous rulers man's land was constantly being fought over by Elves, Dragons, Trolls and many more other types of infernal creatures.
As Time went on by, it little by little altered this scenery: walls proudly said to be impenetrable had began to crack hither and thither, inviolate forests had been cleared for cultivation and habitation, Humanism was eventually born and Mysticism had finally dired up and come to be forgotten by all. Nothing had remained of that Past save a few gloomy ruins only visited at night by winter winds and rains. Strange stories, mutilated by long centuries of Obscurantism, were now and then narrated by some old man puffing his pipe beside the fire at night's noontime, stories that would come up against our present materialistic approach of Reality and were about some legendary people of non-humans fleeing for some safe remote places as some imminent catastrophe had been fortold, and, so doing, leaving us on our own with our machines, our dreams and hopes, and our nostalgia of those long-gone days...
The computer program that followeth shall be nothing but a pale reflection of those long-forgotten Quests by the Knights-errant of old, splendidly and chivalrously riding up hill and down dale on horseback at the risk of their lives, with as sole weapons against the evils lying in wait, their unwavering Faith, their Bravery and Gallantry, their Devotion to the weak, the helpless and the needy, and their Hopes in a better World to come. Many were called but very few were chosen, and high was the tribute of the Quest for the Holy Grail - one of the milestones paving the way for the Philosopher's Stone... Whereas thou, armed with a keyboard and looking for nothing but entertainment, thou havest not much at stake but some points thou mightst eventually hap to lose! Thou shalt have a furtive glimpse of the first step towards Initiation: a nameless Castle drowned in Nothern haze. No-one ever liveth there, yet the place is swarming with hordes of mysterious 'life-forms'. Many an intrepid Knight used to venture into the Castle but very few were those who came out of it alive. Yet all these Blest Survivors actually managed to gain control over the base impulses and motives of their animal natures and to come out transformed, dignified. The Castle, consisting in an infinite and lethal Maze, concealeth the Holy Golden Grail. So, Humility, Perserance, Patience and rigorous Logic shall be the four Essences constituting the Sacred Ring of thine ultimate Victory. Each time thou wilt start combating, each time thou wilt give up the ghost, each time thou wilt discover a treasure, please bear in mind that several centuries back young Valiant Knights used to experience it far more invensely...
Your initiation starts when you wake up inside the Castle in a cold, damp and bare cell, cell 0. Then you can choose amongst three directions: three dark and narrow passages. At the very end of each of these three tunnels you know there are three new cells. About their contents you only hear vague rumours. And you can from time to time manage to find out what their actual contents are. Sometimes some pieces of information are to be found in the very cell you are in: an old, long-forgotten signpost torn apart and away and trampled underfoot reporting some lethal hazard (ACID BATH) or the nearness of a welcome help (WIZARD). Unfortunately, these signposts never show the accurate direction and rumours are echoed so many times by these dark places that it just is not possible to have a true idea of their actual meaning. Moreover some indications can be put aside by you and in this case the danger lurking you is greater...
Whatever the case may be, you came to move if only at least to find the exit. Waiting for death to come and take you away is no solution. So for your moves there are each time six possibilities: either take one of the three corridors leading to a new cell, by choosing amongst them the one presenting the smallest danger of course; or use the Magic Stone which you received when entering the Castle and by so doing move in a second's time upwards or downwards within a space of torus-shaped spirals making up one storey of one hunderd interconnected cells. Cell 0 is the lower point (DOWN is inefficient in this case) and cell 99 is the upper one (UP is not efficient in this case) - this might appear to be strange as cells 0 and 99 are connected to one another; yet it all is normal as the Castle does not belong to the three dimensional world in which man lives although its external appearance is that of a standard castle as there were many in the Middle Ages; and this combination of Earthly and Suprahuman features gives evidence of the Sapience of old. This Stone may appear to be very practical but unfortunately has its whims and vagaries: it will always rematerialize you randomly in one of the upper of lower cells (according to your choice - UP or DOWN). And you will have to bear all the consequences of your upwards or downwards random transportation: you may find yourself face to face with a dragon, a clique of rabid rats, or - which is more agreeable indeed - a sexy little witch coming to you to give you a helping hand. A sixth and last moving method is offered to you: go back to the last cell you were in (BACK - not available when you wake up in the Castle and have not made one move at least). This BACK option may reveal itself very useful especially after using the Magic Stone for moving up or down. Indeed, it is the only means at your disposal to move back to a safe 'home base'.
When you move to a new cell several possibilities are presented to you. You can end up in an empty cell with nothing at all threatening you and you can then proceed in any of the six possible directions. Note in connection with this that there are only five possible directions in the case of a FORK, in which the cell you are in has only two corridors leading to two cells randomly chosen and changing at each visit of the FORK cell. In the case of a FORK the BACK option is still available. Besides the two corridors, leading sometimes very remote cells in the Castle, are so dark and tortuous that no single indication about the cells they are leading to is available. So you move to them at your own risk.
You can also fall into a lethal trap (ACID BATH, GHOSTS, GUILLOTINE or PORTCULLIS). Unless you have the MAGIC ELIXIR in your equipment, you will die in an atrocious way and put a sad end to your Quest and end up in the Graveyard of the One Thousand Vanquished, save if you have been dissolved in the ACID BATH, in which case a grave is no longer necessary. Note that the MAGIC ELIXIR will bring you back to life only once, and you will consequently have to find another flask of this priecious liquid to render yourself immune to any of these lethal hazards.
There exists another kind of trap you can also fall into: a kind of trap in which the ground is giving way beneath you. In this case you move to another storey of one hunderd cells (TRAP, HIDDEN HOLE). In order to move to another storey, you can be asked to enter the three-digit key given by the first WIZARD come across. Other traps may require that you use some pieces of your equipment (if you still have them at your disposal of course!): e.g. a LOCKED DOOR for which the KEYS are necessary. Hither and thither monsters may run at you, in which case you would need a weapon to drive 'em back. It is generally at that very moment that BATS turn out to snatch some piece of your equipment.
Remember that when in the situation in which a riposte from you with one of the pieces of equipment still at your disposal, you have only two attempts to react successfully. If you fail you just cannot take to your heels and have to bear all the - possibly lethal - consequences arising out of the situation. In the case of success your way is clear and you can proceed your Quest. In the case of aborted ripostes you will fall into another storey, be killed by your aggressor (if you have the MAGIC ELIXIR you will survive once), or be forced back whence you came (GO BACK).
In the course of your tumultuous peregrinations thru the Castle you will come across wizards and witches, whose services can be most helpful to you. Do not avoid visiting them! A wizard will give you indications on the contents of three cells of your choice, and a witch will reveal you the content of one cell. Yet their powers are limited and they can't see everything that's in a cell. Moreover, the first wizard you will come across will give you a vital information for he rest of your Quest: a key (three-digit secret number) allowing you to take the STAIRS and move to a new storey without any harm, and to take possession of the Holy GOLDEN GRAIL, the ultimate goal of your Quest. But do be on the qui vive when visiting a wizard or a witch because many a horrid creature is creeping in these cells to jump at you unawares. So watch out!
Apart from that you won't only make disagreeable and hostile encounters in the Castle. In certain cells you will come across pleasant little things, sometimes funny but never of great help to you (BARKING TREE, WOOING EYES, PEEPING GIRL, ...). You will also find useful things such as valuables and some piece of equipment. Take great care of their guardians who are often very near: traps, ferocious animals... The pieces of equipment you will find along your way will be added to your actual equipment for later use. They will also be at the mercy of the bats. At this stage a remark should be made about your equipment: when entering the Castle you have only four pieces of equipment (SWORD, TORCH, KEYS, and SPIRIT) which can only be used to riposte to some traps or attack by fierce animals; but four additional pieces of equipment (MAGIC ELIXIR - to bring you back to life once if you happen to die from a lethal hazard -, MAGIC ARMOR - also for ripostes -, MAGIC WAND - to return you the SWORD, TORCH and KEYS on request if they have been snatched by the bats -, and last but not least MAGIC EXIT - the only means to leave the Castle at any moment except during a riposte!) are scattered around for you to pick them during your Quest. Bear in mind that any of these eight pieces of equipment can be snatched by the bats, and that your final score is going to be calculated on the basis of the valuables and GOLDEN GRAIL picked up and of the time you wandered around in the Castle (if your calculator have the Time functions). So, before leaving the Castle, pick up a maximum of valuables and try and find the GOLDEN GRAIL!
A few words about these valuables you can pick up along your way: they are directly pickable after a possible riposte against their guardians. These valuables, ranging from sceptres to rings, originate from various human dynasties dating back to more or less remote areas and are hence a certain amount of points worth, this amount of points depending upon their age. Here follow these dynasties: Kish (3500 BC - 3000 BC, Sumerians), Our (2200 BC - 2000 BC, Sumerians), Mari (2000 BC - 1600 BC, Amorrites), Hia (2000 BC - 1500 BC, Chinese), Song (960 BC - 390 AD, Chinese) and Ming (1368 AD - 1432 AD, Chinese). Last but not least comes the most important valuable to pick up: the GOLDEN GRAIL for which the key given by the first wizard come across is necessary. So don't forget this key. Moreover, the GOLDEN GRAIL is ALWAYS accompanied by a guardian sometimes benevolent, sometimes malevolent, and lots of bats...
Now we've come to the end of this short description of what awaits you in the Castle, we shall conclude it with the way the score is calculated. First of all, you can, at any moment during your Quest, call your running score, except during a riposte. In this running score the points of all the valuables picked up along your way thru the Castle are added up (MING RING is 100 points worth while KISH SCEPTRE is 1800 points worth). As far as the GOLDEN GRAIL is concerned, it is 5000 points worth. The goal of the game, apart for staying alive and getting out safe, is to total up to 15,000 points. When you eventually leave the Castle with the MAGIC EXIT, this score will be used to compute your final score in percentage points (100 points being almost impossible to reach). This final score will reflect your dergree of aptitude and ability during your Quest. There are two different ways of computing your final score:
- Either the time elapsed is not taken into consideration: in this case your final score is calculated solely with your running score reduced to a portion of a total of 100 points.
- Or this time is taken into consideration: in this case your running score counts for 70% of your total of 100 points. The remaining 30% are allocated to your response time. If this time lies between 0 and 3 minutes, 30 points are added to your total; afterwards these 30% decreases on a linear basis to reach 0 point at time 4 min 48 sec. Over this time you will lose points from the 70% part. So you'd better not hang around idly.
We wish you "Good Luck, Chaps!!!"
