********* Welcome to Project 64! The goal of Project 64 is to preserve Commodore 64 related documents in electronic text format that might otherwise cease to exist with the rapid advancement of computer technology and declining interest in 8- bit computers on the part of the general population. Extensive efforts were made to preserve the contents of the original document. However, certain portions, such as diagrams, program listings, and indexes may have been either altered or sacrificed due to the limitations of plain vanilla text. Diagrams may have been eliminated where ASCII-art was not feasible. Program listings may be missing display codes where substitutions were not possible. Tables of contents and indexes may have been changed from page number references to section number references. Please accept our apologies for these limitations, alterations, and possible omissions. Document names are limited to the 8.3 file convention of DOS. The first characters of the file name are an abbreviation of the original document name. The version number of the etext follows next. After that a letter may appear to indicate the particular source of the document. Finally, the document is given a .TXT extension. The author(s) of the original document and members of Project 64 make no representations about the accuracy or suitability of this material for any purpose. This etext is provided "as-is". Please refer to the warantee of the original document, if any, that may included in this etext. No other warantees, express or implied, are made to you as to the etext or any medium it may be on. Neither the author(s) nor the members of Project 64 will assume liability for damages either from the direct or indirect use of this etext or from the distribution of or modification to this etext. Therefore if you read this document or use the information herein you do so at your own risk. ********* The Project 64 etext of ~Dynasty Wars~, converted to etext by Dohi . DYNWAR10.TXT, August 1998, etext #377# ********* DYNASTY WARS(tm) [U.S. Gold(r) and Capcom(tm) logo omitted] LOADING INSTRUCTIONS CBM 64/128 CASSETTE Press SHIFT and RUN/STOP keys simultaneously. Press PLAY on the cassette deck. Follow on-screen prompts. CBM 64/128 DISK Type LOAD"*",8,1 and press RETURN. Follow on-screen prompts. [Spectrum, Amstrad, Atari, Amiga and IBM PC loading instructions omitted] GAME PLAY The game is played completely on horse back. Your objective is to fight your way through legions of enemy infantry and cavalry, to eventually defeat the evil warlord "Thung Choc". When starting the game, you will be shown four characters with their relative physical and mental abilities along with particular weapons. Select one you feel is best qualified to complete the task ahead. (Hint: A player with a high mental ability will be weak in the earlier levels but becomes stronger later on.) Once your character has been selected, commence play. Use the weapon and tactics you carry to defeat any adversary that may appear. The damage your weapon can inflict is dependant on two factors: 1. The amount of aggression put into each strike. This is dependant on the amount of time FIRE is depressed (a graphical display appears at the bottom of the screen). 2. The number of weapon icons that are collected as you progress through each level. Special "tactics" are available to you when you find yourself in a perilious situation. Be aware however that the use of a tactic reduces your psysical power, thus affecting your weapon strength. If you are "hit" by an adversary, your physical power will dwindle. When all physical power is lost, you lose a life. You are alloted three lives per game. CONTROLS CBM 64/128 One player. Joystick only (port 2).
