GAME DESCRIPTION
Winky is deep inside a dungeon laden with incredible treasures -- and guarded by terrible monsters. Equipped with only a bow and arrow, he seeks the treasure as the monsters close in. Guide him through the dungeon chambers.., but don't stop to count your treasure until you're through!
GETTING READY TO PLAY
USING YOUR CONTROLS
HERE'S HOW TO PLAY
STEP 1: Choose your skill level.
To select a skill level, move the left and right difficulty switches to the proper positions (see list below). Winky will begin his adventures in different sections of the dungeon, depending on the skill level you choose. Skill 1 is the easiest game.
Skill 1 = left B/right B
Skill 2 = left B/right A
Skill 3 = left A/right B
Skill 4 = left A/right A
Next, press Game Reset to start playing.
STEP 2: Time to explore.
While Winky is in the hallway, he appears as a small dot. Beware of the treacherous Hallmonsters. Winky's arrows CANNOT hurt them.
STEP 3: The chambers within.
To capture treasure move Winky into any of the chambers. Each chamber contains treasure and hazards. Most chambers are full of dangerous monsters. But the Wall Room has lethal electrified walls instead!
Once Winky is inside a chamber, he can shoot arrows at monsters to defend himself. Remember, in order to score points for shooting a monster, you must first get to the treasure in that chamber. So seize the treasure, then rack up a high score by shooting away at the monsters! But be careful; if Winky even touches a monster, living or dead, he will be eliminated.
(Special hint: Winky cannot shoot arrows in the Wall Room. Only clever timing will allow him to capture the treasure there.)
STEP 4: An unwelcome visitor.
If Winky stays too long in any chamber, a Hallmonster will come in looking for him.
STEP 5: Locked out.
Once you capture the treasure and leave a chamber, you can never return. (But you CAN return to chambers where you have searched but have not captured the treasure.)
STEP 6: Deeper into the dungeon.
When you have grabbed the treasure from every chamber, Winky descends to a new hall of chambers -- and the action gets even harder! Keep playing until you run out of Winkies.
STARTING OVER
To play again, adjust the difficulty switches to the desired positions, then press Game Reset.
SCORING
Treasure: 200 points and up
Monster: 100 points and up (after getting to treasure)
The deeper into the dungeon you venture, the more points you gain for treasures and monsters!
You receive four Winkies per game.
