BRUCE LEE(TM)

DATASOFT(R)


STRATEGY

An opulent, mysterious, and perilous fortress is the setting as Bruce Lee 
seeks to claim infinite wealth and the secret of immortality from the 
wizard who dwells within.

You begin your search for the wizard at the entrance to his fortress. 
This chamber, and each chamber here, is sealed off from the other rooms. 
The only way to get from one room to the adjoining room is to jump up and 
take the lanterns which hang from the ceiling. When you get all the 
lanterns (or at least certain lanterns) for that room, the door opens. 
(Watch the edges of your screen so that you'll see when your exit is 
possible.) Hint: You must get all of the lanterns in the first three 
rooms in order to proceed. Then go to the middle room and look for the 
opening through which you can exit.

Throughout your search for the wizard, you are attacked by the ninja 
brandishing their BOKKEN sticks. Even more dangerous is the Yamo, who 
runs after you and delivers crushing kicks. Duck and run away to foil 
their attempts to harm you, then come back kicking and chopping - the 
Yamo can survive only three blows and the ninja can survive only two. 
Take as many lanterns and cover as much ground as you can before these 
foes reappear.

To get around each room, you can climb vines (up, down, or sideways), 
ride on waves of particles which change direction at random, leap from 
ledge to ledge, and jump down from a ledge without injury.

Hazards and traps await you in rooms close to the wizard's chamber. You 
must avoid electrical charges passing through gaps between ledges, PAN 
lights streaming across the floor, and exploding T'SUNG-LIN (bushes) 
appearing from nowhere.

When you finally reach the wizard, keep away from the fire balls 
streaming from his eyes. Press the button which destroys the wizard - and 
his fortunes are yours! Enjoy them, because your next foray into the 
fortress will be more difficult!
