 DRUID 
 Firebird 1986

 CONTROLS : Keyboard, Kempston, Cursor

 Note: Joystick controls for 2-player game only!
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 AIM : Four skulls of immense evil power have been brought together by
 the Princes of Darkness and placed in a tower. The skulls are now
 spreading misery and decay throughout the land and you, as an aging
 Druid, must destroy the evil skulls and thwart the Princes.
 
 GAMEPLAY : Like Gauntlet but with certain subtle differences. For
 example, you can cast various types of spells. Offensive spells
 available are based on Water, Fire and Electricity while other rarer
 but more powerful spells include Key (opens doors), Invisibility,
 Golem (creates magical assistant - of which more later) and Chaos
 (smart bomb). Each time a spell is cast your capacity for casting
 that particular spell decreases, and the counter under the respective
 icon at the top of the screen will show this.

  Around the castle are many demons of different types which will
 attack you on sight (as you might expect). Each type of demon
 requires a different type of spell to kill it - a Fire spell would
 not kill a fire-resistant demon, for example. If they contact you
 they will drain your energy. This can however be ragained by standing
 on one of the Pentacles of Life that are scattered around the tower.
 Cests are another source of useful power, but careful thought is
 needed before selecting an item from a chest; they are magically
 trapped and taking one item will destroy all the others in the chest.
 Hint: a map might be useful...

  If things are getting a bit too hectic, casting the Golem spell
 creates a magical servant who can be controlled by separate keyboard
 commands or a second player. The golem can be given three commands:
 send, follow and wait and has its own energy bar which is drained in 
 the same way as yours. However, its touch is instantly fatal to
 demons!

 COMMENTS : "A compelling demon-bashing game."
 RATING : 90% (CRASH #35, December 1986)

 NOW : Although the graphics are somewhat crude, DRUID is not a bad game.
