STORY:

Rizek, a powerful warrior King ruled a vast empire and defeated many of his enemies.  Nothing and nobody stood in his way, yet he grew tired of constant war.  The King declared a time of peace but those close to him craved battle and decided to betray the King.  Kalen the wizard cast an unholy spell on the King, stealing his soul and transforming him into the beast, his body thrown into a cell for all time.  Now after a thousand years a great earthquake has broken the walls of the cell and Rizek can finally escape.  Can he recover his soul and take his rightful place as King once more?

INSTRUCTIONS:

The object of the game is to collect 12 spirit stones then place them in the correct order in the Soul Chamber.  To do this you must explore the temple and search objects in each screen.  There are clues to the correct order scattered around the temple (keep a note of these).

CONTROLS:

Move Rizek using a joystick plugged into port 2.  Press FIRE to jump, pull DOWN to crouch and to activate spawn points, push UP to search an object.  Note:  Spawn points will also heal you.

Your searches will also reveal other items.  These are:

GOLD / RUBY - Points

RED MAGIC - Destroy all enemies

GREEN MAGIC - Slow down enemies

BLUE MAGIC - Freeze enemies

POTION - Heal player

STONE AMULET - Temporary invincibility

You will also need to find keys to open certain doors.  To place a spirit stone in the wall of the soul chamber press UP when standing over a hole, move LEFT and RIGHT to select a stone from your inventory and then press FIRE to place it.  If you wish to pick up the stone again press UP while standing over the required piece.  Once you have collected all 12 spirit stones they will flash on your panel.  Your spirit will be freed once all 12 stones have been placed in the correct order.
