[comp.sys.cbm] Help needed with SENTINEL game

---------------------------

Dear all,

Long, long ago (in a far off galaxy... :-) ... sorry!) I bought my son
a pack of assorted C64 games, one of which was SENTINEL from Firebird.

As this was a compilation the instructions were a bit vague:  We can
move around the landscape, absorb trees, boulders, etc and in turn get
absorbed by the meanies (painful!) but how the @#$% do you go UP?  
The only moves we can manage are either on the same level or down... 
but we can see trees on higher levels which we cannot reach (you have
to aim at the square the tree is sitting on - but you can't see this
from below).

Any help would be gratefully accepted.

P.S. Sorry for posting to this newsgroup, being mostly concerned with
`real' hardware/software problems, but it's getting *really* annoying!

Cheers,
Dave Jenkins
