Atari FLASHBACK2 CX-2600 - Manual (Page 26)

• In all games, Yorgle, the Yellow Dragon, is afraid of the gold key and will run from it. He will
also stay away from whatever room or area of the Kingdom it is in.
• To remove objects that are stuck in a wall and out of reach, there is a magnet that affects all
objects, including the bridge. You can also use the magnet to move objects to an adjacent part of
the kingdom by putting the magnet in front of you before entering that part of the Kingdom.
Bad Magic
The Evil Magician has cast a spell to make it difficult for you to succeed in rescuing the Enchanted
Chalice. Not only do the dragons rally around and try to stop you from getting the Enchanted Chalice, they
guard other objects in the Kingdom:
• Grundle, the Green Dragon, guards the magnet, the bridge and the black key.
• Rhindle, the Red Dragon, guards the white key.
• When not guarding the Enchanted Chalice, Yorgle, the Yellow Dragon, roams freely about the
Kingdom. Sometimes he will assist Grundle or Rhindle in guarding whatever it may be that they
are guarding. There is other Bad Magic that you must overcome in order to rescue the Enchanted
Chalice:
• You cannot pick up and carry a slain dragon.
• In Skill Levels 2 and 3, besides the dragons, the Evil Magician has created a black bat that flies
around and carries objects around throughout the Kingdom, often switching them with objects that
you may be carrying. The black bat may trade a live dragon for the sword and leave you
defenseless, or it may trade you something for the Enchanted Chalice just as you are ready to put it
into the Golden Castle.
Good Or Bad Magic
Some Magic can be good or bad, depending on the situation:
• You can catch the Black Bat and carry it and whatever the Black Bat may be carrying. However,
sometimes the Black Bat will escape(usually at the most inopportune times).
• If there are four or more objects(including the Castle Gates) in your area of the Kingdom, your
magic may or may not work. Sometimes you can slay a Dragon, sometimes you can't. However, it
is easier to avoid being swallowed by a Dragon.
If you have slain a Dragon, and he is blocking your path, so you cannot get through, you can use this
to your advantage by placing one or two objects in the same area and then move through the slain Dragon.
Sometimes the Black Bat can be used to your advantage by getting it to swap for an object you need
that may be stuck in a wall.
SKILL LEVELS
Level 1
This is the simplest Skill Level. When you depress the game reset switch to begin play, you will see
the Key to the Golden Castle. Unlock the Castle and enter. You will find the Sword inside the Golden
Castle. The Key to the Black Castle is being guarded by Grundle, the Green Dragon. Yorgle, the Yellow
Dragon is roaming free and may or may not be found guarding the Enchanted Chalice, which is hidden
with the Magnet inside the Black Castle.
