            like it write the loco people that made it and tell them.  You

            enough...


REQUIREMENTS:  An IBM PC or compatible with at least a CGA monitor.

INSTRUCTIONS:  Many of these instructions are not even necessary because

that pit you against an enemy.

    º     Here is how you would fight an enemy:    º 
    º                                              º
    º   1.  First, there are three options when    º
    º       the fight commences - Attack, Spell,   º
    º       or escape.                             º
    º                                              º
    º   2.  Choose which command to do by moving   º
    º       the cursor to that command.  Then      º
    º       press the space bar or enter           º
    º                                              º
    º   3.  If you choose to attack, a number      º
    º       indicating how much HP the enemy lost  º
    º       will be shown.  Then, in most cases,   º
    º       the enemy will attack back.  If both   º
    º       sides still have more than 0 HP left,  º
    º       another round starts.                  º
    º                                              º
    º   4.  If you choose to use a spell and you   º
    º       don't have any, you won't be allowed   º
    º       to use this command.  If however, you  º
    º       do have spells, then a spell menu will º    
    º       appear.  To activate the spell you     º
    º       want to use, press the first letter    º
    º       in the name of that spell.  If you     º
    º       have enough MP, your character will    º
    º       cast that spell.                       º
    º                                              º
    º   5.  If you choose to escape, you have a    º
    º       50 percent chance of failure.  If      º
    º       you're fighting a boss, however, you   º
    º       won't be able to escape at all.(There  º
    º       are only two bosses anyways.)          º
    ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ

When you win a battle, you will gain Tomato Points, which are the
same as experience points for those of you who are experienced
RPG veterans.  When you gain enough Tomato Points, you will rise to
the next level, and you will gain HP, MP, and strength.  If you
reach certain levels, some spells will become available to you.
Also, there are two items that may be left behind by enemies - both
are types of armor.  So, keep fighting enemies to get these items
so you can raise your defense.

    º                                              º
    º  Tomato Cure - This magic refills some of    º

    º                                              º
    º  Deep Freeze - This magic freezes your enemy º
    º                for one round, making it      º
    º                unable to fight or defend     º
    º                itself.  Some HP is also      º
    º                taken away from the enemy.    º
    º                Bosses are immune to the      º

    º                                              º

    º                chance of getting to use a    º
    º                super-powerful hit.  With     º
    º                this spell you can raise that º
    º                chance by 20% by calling a    º
    º                lightning bolt to strike you. º
    º                If done enough times, you can º
