COUNT DUCKULA -in- No Sax Please, We're Egyptian
(Alternative Software)


Count Duckula and his faithful servants Igor and Nanny have transported 
themselves and their castle over to the land of the Pharaohs, Egypt.
There they decide to search for the mystical Sax, an ancient saxophone
with strange magical powers. They know that the Sax is hidden somewhere
in the tomb of the great Pharaoh Upanatem, a gigantic pyramid in the
middle of the desert. What they do not know is that they have also
brought along some unwanted guests in the shape of the Crow Brothers.

Duckula must explore the pyramid, solving puzzles and collecting
useful items, while keeping an eye out for wandering Mummies and
Crows. With Igor keeping an eye on the time and Nanny keeping an eye
on Duckula he must find the mystical Sax before the dawn breaks in
Transylvania and the castle returns him home.

You control Duckula. You must avoid the Mummies, falling rocks and the
Crow Brothers. If you are touched by any of these then you are "frozen"
and the clock advances by one hour.

Duckula can pick up various really useful items; if you don't want an
item then Duckula must jump over it. Duckula can carry up to three
items. When you wish to use an item then press the keys 1, 2 or 3 to
correspond with the wanted item.


THE ITEMS

Keys: Used to open doors, unless Nanny has smashed through. A key can
only be used once.
The Ankh: If Duckula uses this it will put back the clock three hours,
giving more time.

There are other special items in the pyramid which can only be used in
certain places. It's up to you to discover what they do!


THE CHARACTERS

Nanny: Has a habit of walking through walls, well why not? Doors are
boring and she's not too bright. Fortunately this will help Duckula
get about the castle.
Igor: Will feed Duckula with delicious broccoli sandwiches, Duckypoo's
favourite.
The Crow Brothers: These dopey villains are climbing up the inside of
the pyramid and falling down; don't let them touch Duckula.
Mummies: Avoid them, jump over them or run away.
Rocks: Watch out, they hurt.
Bats: Yuk, Yuk, how annoying. They lose you points if they touch
Duckula.

Good Luck, Gamers ...

Remember:
THERE'S NO ONE ZANIER IN TRANSYLVANIA!!!
