Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this action-platformer, the legendary knight Arthur must embark on a perilous quest to rescue the princess from a powerful new dark lord of the Demon Realm. To save her and prevent the forces of darkness from conquering the world with her royal blood, the player must guide Arthur as he charges toward the enemy's castle to face the demonic threat.
Story
The Demon Realm's Ambition
As part of their ambition to rule the world, the dark forces of the Demon Realm seek to mix their own blood with that of the royal family. Until now, the legendary knight Arthur has always put a stop to their devious plans.
However, the Demon Realm is home to a new ruler, more powerful and more evil than any who has come before him. His underlings waste no time in seeking out the princess—the sole surviving heir to the royal bloodline—in an act that promises dire consequences for us all!
Arthur's Quest
The princess is in grave danger. When our intrepid Arthur catches wind of this dastardly plot, he sets off at once to the castle, his steed's hooves beating an ominous chorus.
"Princess!"
"So we meet again, Arthur... I'm afraid you're too late. The princess is mine!
"Now that I possess the royal blood that courses through her veins, it is only a matter of time before your world bows to our own.
"Once I, the dark lord, have begun stirring, nothing a mortal like you can do will hinder that which has been set into motion!"
"Princess, I swear that I, Arthur, will come to your rescue!"

Game Goal
As the brave knight Arthur, you must travel to the depths of the Demon Realm and rescue the Princess from the clutches of the evil Dark Lord!
Along the way hordes of evil creatures will try to stop you, so you must use weapons you find to defeat them and march on.
The road that leads to the Dark Lord is blocked by a number of of giant doors. You must defeat the guardians of these doors to get the keys necessary to open them.
This is a battle to the death! Do you have what it takes to make it through alive?
Basic Rules
Arthur can equip armor to protect himself from enemy attacks. As the armor takes damage, it wears down and finally breaks apart, leaving Arthur in his underwear. When he's without any armor, a single hit will kill him. Arthur must also keep from falling into giant pits, rivers of fire, or worse!
This is what happens when your armor wears down!

Tips & Maps
Avoid unnecessary jumps, oh brave knight!
One of Arthur's most basic moves is the jump, but once you jump, you cannot change Arthur's jump curve. Just because there's no enemy in front of you when you jump doesn't mean there won't be one there when you land.
Use your magic wisely, oh brave knight!
Magic can unleash powerful attacks, make Arthur tougher, and render you temporarily invincible. If you sense danger, use your magic wisely to avoid taking damage.
Never give up, oh brave knight!
If you stumble and fail, you must press on and learn from your mistakes to find the path to victory. You can win back lives by collecting items, scoring points to earn 1-UPs, defeating enemies, and collecting money bags.
