Nice to see you again, since we last met I have been fortunate enough to save up enough dosh (money to some of you) from the sale of that family heirloom Killbragant castle, to buy me that film studio I've always wanted. From the studio I am going to produce the most magnificent Horror films you have ever seen, I only hope that I dont get caught up in all the blood and throat slashing that goes on in these things. I have now got myself a boyfriend , who looks after my every need if you know what I mean. He was expected to be here by now to help me with a few scenes behind the grave stones, but as usual he must of dropped off to
sleep somewhere, he seems to sleep during the day and be wide awake at night.

I wonder what that makes him?

If you see him wandering around the parking lot tell him to get himself in here now!

Writing a text to explain methods of flight and aircraft control is a highly abstract process. The difficulty of explaining a dynamic event such as aircraft flight control without personal “hands-on” contact seems almost insurmountable. Still, a well-designed instruction manual can provide real benefits, so the compilation of this manual was undertaken with the realization that only a qualified flight instructor in a real aircraft can teach you how to fly a real airplane.

The goal of this manual is to help you more fully enjoy the entertainment/instructional value of Flight Simulator II without letting you develop habits that could interfere with any future real flight training. We want you to have fun while practicing correct flight procedures.

Flight Simulator II for the Commodore 64 is a detailed, early 3D civilian flight simulation by subLOGIC (1984) that lets you pilot a light aircraft using realistic instruments, basic but effective filled-polygon graphics, and real-world-based scenery areas.

At first glance it looks like a pleasant wooded glade on a peaceful, mild day. Watch out! It's a giantspider! RUN! You don't know how it happened; you don't know how you got here, but, unfortunately, you've wandered into the FORBIDDEN FOREST! You'll find a bow in your hand and a quiver full of arrows on your back, as well as four more full quivers on the ground beside you. You're going to need them.

The Forbidden Forest is a place on this world bul certainly not of this world. It is a place of unrelenting terror and trial. It is ruled by the dreaded Demogorgon - demonic king of monsters. He will send in his horde of grisly creatures against anyone who dares enter his realm. And if by some miracle, or your own skill, you
should vanquish his army, you will have to face the Demogorgon himself. A word of encouragement: no one has ever returned from the Forbidden Forest alive!

There are five different areas of the forest in which to do battle and you may enter any one of them at any time by running in either direction as they flow into each other, creating one large forest. The moon slowly crosses the sky as you go from late afternoon to the dead of night. Together, these features offer multiple
and varied environments. Within this ever changing arena, you will face four increasingly difficult levels of adventure with seven different challenges in each level. Fight your way through bloated bees and winged dragons and killer skeletons, and more, to come face to face with the ultimate terror- the Demogorgon!

You are the commander of a specially trained squadron consisting of seven crew members. You are ordered to infiltrate the energy production plant on the planet "karis".  You must then free any survivors and destroy all hostile alien forms.

Rumors about a lost cosmic civilization called the “Ancient” have fascinated you since early childhood and paved your way to a career as a space trader and explorer. Then one day, while on a boring cargo haul from Tau Ceti, you come across a strange wreck and find a unique and mesmerizing device. Asking a scholar who specializes in multidimensional quantum entangled civilizations, unveils that it might be a portable wormhole and of ancient origin. Being the swashbuckler that you are, you pack up a bag of sandwiches, head back into space and press the shiny red button on your artifact.

Suddenly you and your trusty little spaceship are transferred into a strange and unknown galaxy. None of the constellations make sense to you or your navigation computer. Not discouraged at all, you decide to follow a sequence of jump gates back home, collecting ancient technology and the riches of the old on the way.

Quantum immortality allows you to try again and again to reach your target even if you die a series of violent and horrible deaths in this dangerous environment. Using quantum entanglement between your worldly possessions and your soul improves your chances with each reincarnation.

Leviathan takes you thirty-three seconds into the future, where pop videos inspire crazy fantasies in the minds of ordinary people. Your objective is to seek out and destroy enemy ships in three excitingly different planet zones:

• MOONSCAPE | (LEVIATHAN MASTER PROGRAM)
• CITYSCAPE (LANDSCAPE 1)
• GREEKSCAPE (LANDSCAPE 2).

Your mission is to destroy the alien fortresses and save the planet Earth from certain annihilation.

The fortresses are heavily armed satellites placed in orbit around the Earth. They possess tremendous amounts of energy which is channeled into a planet-warping magnetic field. Each fortress derives its energy from a Magnetron Generator.

You attack by flying your Photon Fighter over the surface of the fortresses while bombarding the alien's defense cannons with your own particle beam weaponry. If you knock out all the cannons, the Magnetron Generator will short-out and the fortress will be destroyed. When the cannons are firing back at you, you may protect yourself with a shield around your Photon Fighter. Your Photon Fighter can withstand a few unshielded hits from the enemy cannons, but it takes a lot of fuel to absorb the energy (2000 units per unshielded hit).

As you fly over the surface of a fortress, the magnetic forces you must contend with can be very unpredictable. The force they generate may push you or pull you, you'll never know until it hits you. Sometimes you may be able to nullify the magnetic force by knocking out the Magnetron Generator itself with a direct hit.

The walls of a fortress also have unpredictable properties. Sometimes your Fighter will bounce off a wall, sometimes it will pass right through a wall. Sometimes when you hit a wall your Fighter will explode from the impact. There's only one way to know what kind of wail you face before it's too late: fire on the wall and see what happens.

You are about to begin a tour of some of the strangest real estate ever placed on the market: The Castles of Dr. Creep. Your goal: to complete your tour alive. Your visit to each of the 13 castles will be timed, so don’t dawdle.

You can enter the castles alone. But you may find it a bit more comforting to have a friend along. With two players this becomes a game where cooperation, not competition, is what counts.

Before you embark on the tour, prepare yourself by spending a few moments with the game's tutorial. This short tutorial will tell you everything you need to get started. There's no need to read this entire manual. While it will tell you more about what's ahead and how to select various game options, feel free to simply set it aside once you've entered your first castle. You can refer to it later, as needed.

If you were somehow to be taken back in time and found yourself in the Middle Ages, it is probable that you would find life very difficult, without knowing the rules and ethics of that period of history. In this game that is exactly what is going to happen, so we suggest that you read this instruction manual at least once before attempting the game.
