The game

Two castles, several tasks

The adventure spans two connected castles. Your quest involves a power wand that can release a princess, a sacred book that removes an enchantment from armor, and a giant eagle that must be destroyed. These are distinct tasks within the same expedition, giving your search more structure than simply reaching an exit.

Magic and machinery

The wizard can jump, crouch, climb stairs, and launch magical bolts. Levers and traps also play a part, so moving through the castles means paying attention to their mechanisms as well as their passages. The combination gives you several ways to engage with a room before moving onward.

This edition

The MSX edition

This is the Spanish-language MSX edition of Topo Soft’s castle adventure.

Start here

1. Enter the adventure

   Hold Space briefly during the credits to begin, rather than relying on a quick tap. In this player, the arrow keys provide movement and Space handles actions.

2. Read both views

   Locate your wizard in the upper display, then inspect the lower display: at the beginning, it shows the crystal orb’s location. Make that your first destination.

3. Recheck your guide

   Once you collect the orb, look below again. That display now tracks quest objectives, changing its role from helping you find the first item to guiding the broader adventure.

Playing tips

• Build a route in your head

  Remember the passages connecting areas as you explore. A useful item may give you a reason to return somewhere you have already visited.

• Inspect before committing

  Pause to examine a lever and nearby traps before acting. Treat castle machinery as something to understand, especially when a route looks hazardous.

• Change your approach

  If a direct approach stalls, consider your movement options before repeatedly firing. A jump, a crouch, or a stairway may offer a more useful next move.
