King Boros has been forced to live in exile in the mountainous region of Menlary. Geraden, Duke of Menlary, has successfully defended his castle from the hideous Legions of the Undead, but Darklarza's forces are growing in numbers and confidence.King Boros has offered the hand of hislovely daughter Princess Amoreena to Geradenbut the duke has vowed never to marry whileOfferia is under the Dragon Master's control.Under the cover of darkness, Darklarza's horde has assaulted Castle Menlary, a bold but futile attempt to seize the last stronghold of the living. As Geraden is fighting his way to the Death Stalker leading the attack, he learns that the entire1battle was only a diversion.Dragon Cub, the wicked offspring of Darklarza, has dispatched the royal guards and kidnapped the Princess, mortally wounding King Boros. Geradens fate is now clear. He must fight his way to Darklarza Castle to do battle with the Dragon Master Himself.But Darklarzas power makes him virtually invincible. The duke will need many items to help him defeat the scourge on Offeria. The only thing that cannot be destroyed by the dragon's fiery breath are the scales that cover its body.2The Dragon Masters dark magic is unbelievable. Part of his magical strength comes from a crystal ball that once belonged to Geradens mother, Offeria's greatest sorceress.Darklarza also holds King Boros - golden suit of armor. The duke will need this to protect himself from the crushing blows of the dragon's massive tail.3Only one weapon in all of Offeria is strong enough to pierce the flesh of the Dragon Master. Even so, The DRAGON SLAYER is not long enough to do any damage except where the skin is the thinnest.Even after twenty years of fighting Geraden is still not ready to take on his arch enemy. Darklarza knows this and that is why he has stolen the princess. The duke must now hope that the experience he gains in fighting his way to the castle will be enough to protect him from the Dragon Masters spells.4There will be one experience that Geraden cannot prepare himself for.Before he can face the Dark Lord he must first face his most dangerousfoe....Himself!Most important, Geraden needsYour help to fight through the neverending onslaught of the Legion of theUndead It will be your skill and wisdomthat will guide him through the perils thatawait.For Amoreena, For the honor of the house of Menlary!FOR ALL OF OFFERIA5CONTROLLER FUNCTIONSSELECT  Pause/ResumeSTART   Used to enter game, enter levelin castle and change weaponsUp: Not usedLeft: Moves Geraden leftDown:   Drops Geraden to oneknee and raises shieldRight: Moves Geraden rightB: JumpA: AttackBEGIN YOUR QUEST6CHARACTERSDEATH STALKERCloaked specter that throws out balls of ghostly energy.CYCLOPSOne eyed giant slings burning spheres.MINOTAUROSAxe wielding giant Half man and half bull All mean!THE UNDEADHideous zombies that rise from their graves7IGUANADOSReptilian warrior from the Isle of ZaraosSKELETAL KNIGHTSErected from skeletons in theCrypt of Darklarza.AMPHORGCreature of the deep forced to live on land by Darklarza.FALCORENOnce Geradens hunting falcon, transformed by dark spell.GHOST KNIGHTPossessed suit of armor.8ZOMBIE KNIGHTSMindless victims of the DragonMasters horrible spell.SPHINXAnimated statues from ramparts ofDarklarza Castle.SALAMANDERSpits acid strong enough to eat through Geraden's armor.MAN-O-WARSalamander's Henchman.Lives in damp, dark places.MEDUSASerpent-haired witch.
