Texas Pete and his dastardly cronies Bulk and

Skeleton are at large in Creepy Castle, and their plan

is to blow it sky-high.  Your mission is to catch them

all and put them behind bars before the bomb goes

off.  But beware - there are hazards lurking in the

castle which can rob you of your magic powers just

when you need them most, making it easier for the

gang to carry out their plot.



  Can you guide SuperTed through the castle's 

twisting maze of corridors and paths to find Texas

Pete, Bulk and Skeleton in time?  Can you help to jail

all the crooks before one of them has a chance to 

escape?  Will the technological teddy be able to foil

their foul felony?  Why not play the game and see!



Playing the game



1.  Once the program is loaded, you will be asked

how you would like to move SuperTed - either with

the cursor keys (5,6,7 and 8) or with various types

of joystick.

2.  The aim of the game is to guide SuperTed

around the castle to pick up Texas Pete and his gang

one by one and put them all in jail before the bomb

shown at the right explodes.

3.  Creepy Castle is mapped out on a grid three

screens high and three screens wide.  You can only

see what is going on in detail on one screen at a

time, but there are castle scanners at the top left and

right of the picture to show you which characters

are in which part of the castle at any one time.  Texas

Pete is shown on the scanners by a blue square:

Skeleton by a grey square; Bulk by a mauve square;

and SuperTed by a red square when he has his

magic powers, and a yellow square when he

hasn't.

4.  On the main screen you can see one section of

the castle at a time in detail; its halls, courtyards,

dungeons, gardens or jail.  You can move SuperTed

from one area of the castle to another through the

gaps in the maze.  To catch one of the gang

SuperTed must bump into him and then fly to jail

with the villain in tow.  When SuperTed is moved

next to the bars at the top of the prison his captive 

will be thrown into jail.  A rogue's gallery across the

top of the screen shows which members of the

gang are still at large, while the one at the bottom

reminds you who is in jail.

5.  If SuperTed collides with one of the yellow

obstacles sticking out from the edges of the maze,

he loses his magic powers.  Without them he cannot

catch the baddies, nor take them to jail.  To re-

energise SuperTed you must guide him to one of the

red bowls of bubbling blancmange that are dotted

around the castle and its grounds.

6.  Is SuperTed takes too long getting all the crooks

behind bars, the ones who are already in jail will

escape and need to be captured again.



Good luck SuperTed!
