THE GAME

This is the haunting tale of a monk slain in his prime, and now locked in a desperate search for his bones so that he may at last rest in peace. There he was, poor Brother Jeffrey, a man content in life to till the land and make wine. Then along came this awful green-faced demon who, bitterly envious of the holy man's happiness, brutally murdered him and scattered his bones deep in the bowels of the earth. Oh woe ! And so ... only by finding his bones and returning them to be decently buried can B.J. be content again.

Will you, for the duration of this game become Brother Jeffrey and help him ? In so doing you will earn his eternal gratitude and strike a blow for the power of good over evil. Enter the earth, but watch out ! The demon will watch your every move and place obstacles in your path, such as weird creatures, lightning bolts, moving blocks, huge caverns, cellars, mazes, and even the odd graveyard ! Find the courage to continue and you will overcome these obstacles, I can feel it in my bones . You start your quest with nine Monks, each with nine shields hitting any creature will lose a shield.If all shields are lost or you hit any background, you lose a monk. On collecting a bone, you receive a bonus depending on the number of shields remaining and also replenish your shields.
