Krull [Model CX2682]

Krull © 1983 Atari, Incorporated.

Your mission is to find and enter the Beast's Black Fortress, rescue Princess Lyssa, and destroy the Beast. The task is not an easy one, for the location of the Black Fortress changes with each sunrise on Krull.

To discover the location of the Black Fortress, you must travel to the lair of the Widow of the Web. Inside the cavern is a gigantic web, a poisonous Crystal Spider that guards the web, and the Widow's Cocoon. When you stand on the cocoon, a blinking light points to one of eight pathways leading to the Black Fortress. If you go down the correct pathway before the next sunrise, you'll find the Black Fortress and the Beast.

If you cannot find the Fortress before sunrise, however, you must return to the cocoon to find the new location of the Fortress.

Inside the Black Fortress you must rescue Lyssa as you dodge fireballs thrown by the Beast. Once Lyssa is free, she will give you the power to destroy the Beast.

You begin the game with three lives. Extra lives and special weapons called Glaives can be picked up when you travel across the Iron Desert during the course of the game.

Sunrise and Sunset: At the top of you screen is a strip showing the passage of the sun, The color of the strip shows the time of day: red indicates sunrise and sunset, blue indicates daytime, and black indicates nighttime.
