| To
play Magic Quest, you only need to use a few keys and
your mouse. The object of the game is to move around
the kingdom, finding objects and avoiding attackers
to build up your points and eventually fulfill your
quest for the Water of Life. |
| This
graphic shows the keys that control movement in the
game.
Walk your character to the edge of a screen in order
to move into the next screen. There are over 80 areas
to explore in the game. Remember that you can walk
to all edges of a screen to move into different areas.

| This
graphic shows the keys that allow you to take actions
in the game. For instance, the space bar can be used
to push doors open or to choose which item you want
to try using for a particular circumstance.
Sometimes,
you will come to a door that will not open. Pressing
the Space Bar will pop up the Item Choice Panel. From
the panel, you can choose to use a key if you have
one.
Pressing
the Control key draws your sword and helps defend
you against attackers.

| This
graphic shows a screenshot of the game. The Control
Panel at the bottom contains scores and buttons for
viewing pop-up panels that show what items you have
collected, what books of knowledge you can read, and
the game's help screen.
You should always be checking the Info Panel for tips
and information about what is happening in the game.
Your most important score is your strength. If you
get down to zero strength, the game will end and your
quest will fail.
If you get a Game Over screen, you will have the option
to revive your character. This will put you back where
you were in the kingdom with all your items and 50
strength points. Each time you revive, you will lower
your overall final game score.

| This
graphic shows how the Item Choice Pop-Up Panel appears
when the player comes to a locked door and presses the
Space Bar. |
 |
| The
most important objects you can find in the game are
the strength potion bottles. Just walk
over them to pick them and gain strength points. You
can never accumulate over 100 strength points. So don't
waste unused bottles if you don't need them! |
 |
If
you find the Defense Jewel, it will
protect you from 3 attack hits each time you use it.
You can only use it 3 times.

Tips:
-
Sometimes, you will find yourself needing to move
behind objects like walls or trees that will hide
the character from view. It will help to have your
PC's sound turned on so that you can hear your character's
footsteps when he moves.
-
If you have trouble moving with the arrow keys,
get to a screen that has no attackers or dangers
in it and practice for a while before moving on.
-
Always read any books of knowledge you find. They
contain important information.
-
Always look carefully for clues and never assume
anything!
- Have
a great time!
