GETTING STARTED
Insert the Gargoyle's Quest cartridge into your Game Boy. Turn the machine on. The story of the game will slowly move up the screen.
After it disappears (or if you press START), you will see the start option page. You can either choose to begin a new game by pressing START, or continue a previous one by selecting the password.
Vantage Points
There are two vantage points within the game. The first one you will see is an "above-view" of the hero, Firebrand. This view is used when the character needs to discover important information. This is used for interior and exterior scenes. There is no combat in this mode.
The second vantage point is a close-up side view of the character. This is the view point of all battle sequences. When you complete your search or battles in these areas, you'll be sent to the above-view area.
CONTROLLING FIREBRAND
The controls for Firebrand are simple, but true mastery will take both practice and skill.
When in the above-view areas of the game, UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT moves Firebrand in those directions. In most areas, pressing the A button brings a small menu on the screen. The menu has four categories.
