Atari FLASHBACK2 CX-2600 - Manual (Page 29)

• You cannot pick up and carry a slain dragon.
• 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.
