THE SPECTRUM GAMES DATABASE THE ADVENTURES OF ST. BERNARD PUBLISHER Carnell AUTHOR YEAR 1983 DESCRIPTION An early game with little to recommend it - poor graphics, poor sound and a sluggish keyboard response. CONTROLS Z: face left M: face right SPACE: jump Cursor joystick supported. INSTRUCTIONS Part one: scare off the wolves by turning to face them. Part two: jump over the cracks in the ice, avoiding the walruses. Part three: get to the top of the screen, jumping over snowballs and scaring away wolves. There may be other parts, but the game is quite boring so you'll probably give up before reaching them! INLAY CARD TEXT [from the Mastertronic re-release] The Adventures of St. BERNARD The Aim of the Game Guide your intrepid St. Bernard through the perils of the icy wastelands to rescue his Mistress from the clutches of the abominable snowman. Avoid the packs of ferocious wolves, mischeivous penguins and the icy watery depths.
