Demo


This will demo the ENTIRE game (about eighteen minutes worth or a disk I/O error, whichever comes first). You can't play it, just watch the whole game. After the credits have finished loading, and are being displayed (the red light will still be on, but no loading is occurring), press the following six keys simultaneously: 'ESC', 'R', '/', 'L', 'N', and '7' (it has also been given as: hold down 'ESC', 'RIGHT' and 'LEFT' cursor keys, 'N' and '7'). The screen will flash if you did it right. Then press the 'fire' button on your joystick and sit back and watch all the animation.

Solution


This game is a lot of fun. I don't suggest you read this solution from start to finish because you would lose most of the fun of this game. Although you do get to watch the great graphics, so the solution is divided into individual sections that explain how to get by each of the scenes. Read each section only if you can't figure out how to get through it on your own.

Under the Drawbridge


When you fall through the hole in the draw bridge, hit 'ENTER' once and then Up. Doing this will get you into the next board.

Falling stone bridge


To get by here, just jump in the approximate direction you are moving (Left or Right).

Room with Vines


Hit 'Enter' to slash the first vine. Hit Up. Left or right (away from the closest wall). Back. Wait until Dirk starts climbing stairs. Left or Right (opposite from the previous horizontal jump). Up.

Room with kettle and slime monster


Hit 'Enter' to jump initially. Hit 'Enter' just before he eats you.

Whirlpools


Turn Left or Right (away from the whirlpool.)

Rapids


Hit Left or Right (whichever seems appropriate). Up. Wait until the next screen. Hit up.

Electric Shokds


Right (or Left). Left (or Right). Right (or Left). Up. Right (or Left). Left (or Right). Right (or Left). Now quickly hit Left (or right) while in the air.

Balls


Wait for close up. Then hit down every time a ball passes in front of you.

Falling Junk


Right. Left. Down.

Down.

Close up of Crystal Ball
