PLAYING OSTRON
Ostron is probably the most original "arcade-game" to have ever
appeared. You ride an Ostron (ostrich) and do battle with various evil
knights riding their buzzards. To fly you need only press one of
several keys to make your Ostron's wings flap; and you can move either
left or right. The controls:
LEFT KEYS - GO LEFT
RIGHT KEYS - GO RIGHT
BOTTOM ROW - FLAP/FLY

To win a conflict you must have your lance higher than your opponent's
when you touch. If they are at the same height or you are lower then
you die. You start with 5 lives.

The Blue Bearers are not terribly intelligent about finding you and
you are faster; but the Green Chasers are harder to shake off and as
fast as you are! The Red Knaves are diabolical in their ability to
track you and give chase, and the dazzling Dark Knights themselves are
masters of their art.
