After much pleading by the farmers and townspeople, the armiesof Malus were gathered and sent to do battle with the mighty red dragon knownas Gildiss. Not a single man returned.In desperation, the King sought guidance from his wizard, Guindon. Guindon told the king that he could cast a spell that would put Gildiss to sleep for one year, but if and when Gildiss awoke, he would be more powerful. Looking out over the suffering that had befallen his kingdom, the King decided his people could take no more. And so he commanded Guindon to put Gildiss to sleep.Now the year has almost come to an end and darkness has once again befallen the kingdom of Malus. In the last year, the King has sent forth hundreds ofknights to find and destroy Gildiss as he sleeps. None have been heard fromagain.Now, as the creatures of darkness stand ready to plunge the land of Malus into the abyss, a new band of adventurers plans to set forth before Gildiss awakes.        *Controlling your characterTo move your character left, right, up, or down Press the control pad LEFT,                                                RIGHT, UP, or DOWN.To use your weapon                              Press the Y button.To make your character jump                     Press the B button.To summon magic                                 Press the X button.
