Documentation for Drol by Broderbund
by Apple Bandit
====================================
Beware: A witch doctor's curse is about to envelop you and your apple
computer, wreaking havoc on ordinary reality, digital circuitry and
network TV reception!
Your mission: Others have been lured in to this world before you; a
little girl, a little boy, their pet lizard, their pet crocodile and
their mother. Your task is to find them and bring them back to waking
reality, safe & happily reunited.
Mission 1...rescue the little girl and her pet lizard. Watch out for
scorpions, flying turkeys, and (on higher levels) green vacuum
cleaners!
Mission 2...rescue the little boy and his pet crocodile. Watch out for
monsters magnets, and the witch doctor!
Mission 3...rescue the mother. Watch out for serpents and flying
weapons!
You are luckily wearing your trance-resistant, anti-gravity rescue
suit. You're also well-armed with an unlimited supply of luminous
reality pellets, which you can shoot to disintegrate monsters and
other enemy phantoms that the witch doctor has cleverly conjured to
thwart you.
You start with five lives. For each round of three missions completed
successfully, you earn one extra life.
Each time you complete a mission, a curtain of dreams will descend,
transport-??
Your wide-screen radar-scope at the top of the screen will prove
indispensable in your quest.
