THE ADVENTURE MODE

The Story So Far...

Relentlessly time trickles between our fingers and nothing, it seems, can
ever stop it.But things were not always like this...

As the sun of Calypso entered its third zenith, the three daughters of the
river, who were mistresses of all destinies, decided to steal the 6 elements
of life ensuring the temporal and ecological balance of the planet.

Immediately the galaxy underwent major upheavals...

to the south, where Wuhan of the Auburn Hair ruled, land and soil that had
been rich and fertile were invaded by a sea of burning sand.To the north the
pastures watched over by Bland Freila were covered in ice while from east to
west the molten steel channelled by Omdura the Red Head filled the ocean, the
source of all life...

And so Time was brought to a stand still on this desolate planet.The lords of
the Fire fled with their vassals, taking with them what little they could save.
Fear and its hideous face gripped the souls in search of a new land.Only the
Three princesses continued to rule united over this infinite desert.

Jealously, Wuhan guarded the sand and the sand glass, symbols of time in the
dunes of Wasteland.

Freila had hidden the diamond and water, sources of life beneath the ice of
Antarctica.Omdura would rather die than surrender alive the fire and matter
sealed within her palace at heavy metal.

Ever since the capture of time bachaad the venerable had roamed from galaxy
to galaxy in search of the one who could restore Calypso to its past
splendour.As Prince of the Styx and Commander of Time, he vowed to offer
honour, power and glory to whichever knight-errant would succeed in seizing
the six symbols of life from the daughters of the river.


THE ADVENTURE UNDWINDS...
If you have chosen the adventure mode on the selection screen, an animated
sequence explains your mission.Your task is to retrieve the six Symbols of
life held by the three princesses of the river.Each princess holds two symbols.

Your quest begins in wasteland.In this desolate and arid region,you must
progress further and further to reach the highest levels.However it is 
impossible to beat the princess of the desert without first overcoming the 
princesses of antarctica and Heavy Metal.

It's up to you discover where these power-hungry princesses have hidden
the stollen symbols of life.
