CHEATS SEQUELS/PREQUELS INLAY CARD TEXT Ghost Castles Silence.....long silence......a whisper........a scream.......... a GHOST...........OHHH....NO !.......GHOSTS are EVERYWHERE ! The time has come, the tale has begun. After 20 peaceful years the ghosts have come back again from their world and entered into yours. Where can you find them ? Of course at their favourite places, in the old castles. They want to take back these ancient lands. You are the last one who remembers the old magic that can stop them. You have to fight from castle to castle and catch them with your magician lamp and put them into the wooden chest. If you have a friend you can teach him and fight the battle against the ghosts together.

Here you can change the side of the screen by pressing SPACE. Moving the lamp is very simple, it moves in 8 directions only. It starts moving slowly and gets gradually faster. If you always want to stay fast don't release any keys. Catch the ghost as soon as possible and put it into the chest. If you are not fast enough the ghost will be free again ! Be careful, don't touch the other players (in cooperative mode) because your energy will lower very fast. Sometimes you can catch a small ghost which will give you more power to stay alive for longer time...you will need it. In cooperative mode if the chest flashes don't waste your time, take the chest together or else every ghost will get free again ! If you take all ghosts you can teleport to the next castle. After a long journey you will save the world again ! Be fast, be careful and be clever...the challenge is not too easy but achievable ! There is a secret, hidden passage in one of the castles...how can you enter ?
