To do this you use the shift key on the IBM's or Amiga key on the AMIGA (dunno for Atari). STand on the edge facing rightward, press the shift and simultaneously do a standing leap. Pull yourself up by releasing the up key (I think---its either that or the sideways arrow). You need to practise this anyway because if you cant do this now then you'll never get through level 3. You cant save until level 3 so practise 3 by using shift L until you cant get through 3 ok. Level 4 is easier. John Upham, (Chemical Physics Ph.D) University of Sussex, Brighton, UK.

Yes I would appreciate this list also. Again only for reference only. I wouldnt dream of actually switching a scanner on- how naughty that would be.

Get it throw something light. I put a throwing star in the right hand and chucked that. This operates a pad and opens a gate which one accessef from the other side. At the end of the corridor is abutton which opens a door allowing you back to get the bow, gem, coin from the first room. > 2) The gate that is just alittle further on but has no apparent > key hole or switch See above. > > and 3) The key to the double doors just after the gate in 2.

The next ra key is in level 9 with the bastard rats in it. You should be able to do 6 level fireballs by now. I have one double master wizard at level 9.
