Zorro

Scenario
Team up with Zorro, Johnston McCulley's legendary masked crusader for justice and freedom! Travel back and forth between the screens to reach your objective: rescue a pretty señorita from the clutches of wicked Sergeant Garcia.

Help Zorro search for the crucial items that enable him to reach the Fort where the señorita is held captive. The key to the solution is in the Olé 6 Hotel.

Figure out the secret to open the vault in the Wine Cellar. Brand the bull in the Livery Stable to collect the lucky horseshoe. Find and return the missing Mission Bells. Descend into the grave and navigate a dreadful maze of catacombs. Free innocent prisoners from Garcia's evil jail.

Grab your sword, don your mask and cape, and get ready to make the mark of the Z!

Features
• Multi-screen action-adventure game
• Adventure-style screen-to-screen movement
• "Scavenger-hunt" gameplay
• Swashbuckling duels

Strategy
Evil Sergeant Garcia has kidnapped a beautiful señorita and imprisoned her in his Fort. As the masked crusader, Zorro, your mission is to find the girl and rescue her from his clutches.

Garcia's guards will do everything they can to slow you down. Be prepared to do battle! You'll climb ladders, explore dark passages, leap from rooftop to rooftop, bounce on improbable trampolines.

In every screen are puzzles and perils. Mapping is advisable, since you travel through many screens more than once. Work back and forth, from screen to screen, finding crucial objects and clues. And don't be surprised if some objects you find seem to have magical properties!

This game is a tricky combination of action and adventure. You'll have to put on your thinking cap to get Zorro through to his lady-love!

Scoring

Bonus Points: The game begins with 2,200 bonus points. The longer Zorro takes to complete a task, the lower the bonus counter goes (it never goes below 1,000). After the first task, the bonus counter resets to 9,900 for each remaining task.

Hints
• Zorro can only carry one object at a time (except the hanky, which goes into a pocket).

• When Zorro picks something up, his sword is put away; he doesn't drop it.

• Check the Hotel from time to time for new objects.

• There can be as many as six different ways to leave a screen.

• It's a good idea to make a map to help keep track of Zorro's progress. Indicate on the map objects he's found and where he found them.
