 @6AIM :@1 Asleep one night, you dream of a land where a magical Book has 
 been stolen by the demon Midas. The last chapter has been torn out and 
 its six pages scattered through the land, while six Dark Pages created 
 by Midas stand ready to be inserted into the book - which would doom 
 the land to eternal darkness thereafter. Armed only with your trusty 
 top hat and bed, you must rescue the six pages, destroy the Dark Pages 
 and defeat Midas... 
 
 @6GAMEPLAY :@1 Much like a platform game - you can walk left or right, 
 jumping to collect objects or to clear fatal gaps. Doorways and lifts 
 links screens and levels and can be used by going "into" and "out of"  
 the screen. The bed permits travel between the various areas of the 
 Heartland once you have collected pages of The Book. The Book flashes 
 when a missing page is nearby, but it's up to you to identify the page 
 as Good or Bad. 
 
  Along the way, it is wise to collect some weapons. The top hat is weak 
 but can be fired an infinite number of times; the knife is more 
 powerful but gives less hits; and the fireball is the most powerful but 
 only lasts a few shots. The various evil minions will do their best to 
 sap your strength, as shown by the face of Midas in the top bar. As 
 your energy drains, so Midas' face expands in size until you are 
 dead... 
 
  Various spells fly around some screens, some good, some bad. The 
 large star spell is particularly bad, homing in and draining your 
 energy. A small star spell will however give you temporary 
 invincibility while bubble clusters restore your energy. 
 
  The passage of time is shown by the two hourglasses at the top of the 
 screen. The glass on the left revolves every few seconds, while the one 
 on the right takes about eight minutes to complete a revolution. This 
 one shows the amount of time you have left on a particular level; you 
 only have eight minutes before Midas' malign influence makes it 
 impossible to escape! - which means, of course, Game Over. 
 
 @6COMMENTS :@1 "One of the better games on the Spectrum."

 @6NOW :@1 One of the prettiest Spectrum games ever... it's a bit too hard 
 though!
