DYNASTY WARS
(U.S. Gold)


GAME PLAY

The game is played completely on horseback. Your objective is to fight
your way through eight legions of enemy infantry and cavalry, to
eventually defeat the evil warlord "Thung Choc". When starting the game,
you will be shown four characters along with their relative physical and
mental abilities, along with particular weapons. Select the one you feel
is best qualified to complete the task ahead. (Hint: A player with a high
mental ability will be weak in the earlier levels but becomes stronger
later on.)

Once your character has been selected, commence play. Use the weapon
and tactic you carry to defeat any adversary that may appear. The damage
your weapon can inflict depends on two factors:

1. The amount of aggression put into each strike. This is dependent on
   the amount of time FIRE is depressed (a graphical display appears at
   the bottom of the screen).
2. The number of weapon icons that are collected as you progress through
   each level.

Special 'tactics' are available to you when you find yourself in a perilous
situation. Be aware, however, that the use of a tactic reduces your physical
power, thus affecting your weapon strength.

If you are 'hit' by an adversary, your physical power will dwindle. When
all physical power is lost you lose a life. You are allocated three lives
per game.
