DESCRIPTION
Unusual platform game, set over a series of increasingly
difficult screens.

CONTROLS:
The keys are redefinable, and certain joysticks can be used.

INSTRUCTIONS
Amongst the barren heights and rugged rocks of the Scottish
Highlands, there is situated Shilmore Castle.  The Castle is
under threat of being purchased and shipped stone by stone to
America by Eugene Portcullis the third (Jnr) a mega-millionaire.
Alarmed by this, Olli and Lissa rush to help their friend Sir
Humphrey, the castle ghost, who was somewhat upset by the
prospect of forced emigration to the New World.  Sir Humphrey
decides that today, Human Beings are only scared by invisible
ghosts.  You must collect eight ingredients for a potion
to make the ghost of Shilmore Castle invisible and save the day.

Playing the Game:
You can use either keyboard or joystick to guide Olli on his
quest through Shilmore Castle.  When the game starts, Sir
Humphrey will tell you which item needs to be dropped into his
cooking pot. You have to avoid other, not so friendly, ghosts on
your way around the castle, and there will also be a time
limit for each task.

CHEATS
Type "PORTCUL" after the menu screen and Olli will move much
faster

NOTES
Very difficult platfrom game, can get annoying on later levels
when touching the wrong part of the screen can mean instant
death. But does have nice graphics and colour.
