 THANATOS 
 Durell 1986

 CONTROLS : Keyboard, Kempston, Cursor
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 AIM : Having got fed up with being stereotyped as a nasty, greedy
 creature, Thanatos the Dragon sets out to rescue the Sorceress Eros
 and her belongings - spell books, cat and so on - from the various 
 castles in which they have been locked up.
 
 GAMEPLAY : Thanatos flaps across a left/right scrolling landscape
 which is full of hazards - killer bees, two-headed dragons, sea
 serpents, spiders, soldiers throwing spears and knights in armour.
 He can however fry all of these with his (limited) amount of fire. He
 can also pick his foes up with his talons and carry them aloft to be
 used as "bombs" against other foes; it doesn't do a soldier any good
 to be hit by a falling sea serpent!

 Thanatos' life force is shown by a beating heart on the left and a
 bag of blood (?) on the right of the screen represents his fire
 supply. As he takes damage his heartbeat quickens and if he is really
 badly injured, the heart turns blue. He can recover by landing and
 taking a quick rest on the ground. If he runs out of fire, he can
 refuel by eating a witch!

 To win the game, Thanatos has to rescue Eros from one castle and then
 take her on his back to other castles to recover various objects. 
 There are three castles on the easier levels and four on the harder
 ones, and it keeps getting tougher...

 COMMENTS : "An excellent and rather different arcade adventure."
 RATING : 93% (CRASH #35, December 1986)

 NOW : It may only be a novel twist on the old SCRAMBLE/DEFENDER idea
 but THANATOS is quite a nice game with some neat graphics (for a
 Spectrum).
