Frak!           (c) 1985 State Soft
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Armed only with his trusty yo-yo, Trogg the caveman must be guided around 96
levels of awkward, scrolling platform action. Every time he dies, a speech
bubble containing the expletive FRAK! is displayed. Each level in Frak! is fairly
large, larger than one screen in fact, so it's for this reason the picture hs
to scroll.

The screens are composed of groups of platforms and 'ladders' that only differ
on arrangement and graphics on advancing a level. For example, the first screen
has actual ladders, these then change to ropes on the second screen, and chains
on the third.


How to Complete a Level
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In order to complete a level, Trogg must collect all the keys lying around within
a given time limit.

Once the limit expires it becomes dark, and the yo-yo becomes ineffective.

To put some more light on the subject, and to gain extra time and points,
there's a lightbulb that can be picked up.

Other bonus points can be acquired from the jewels scattered about. These aren't 
necessary for completing the level, though.


The Nasties
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On each level there a different group of nasties to impede your progress.
SCRUBBLIES
HOOTERS
POGLETS
BUNYIPS
ICE WARRIORS
TROGG CLONES
They must face the wrath of the yo-yo. There also balloons that rise from below
and daggers raining from the heavens to be avoided or disposed of.


The Yo-Yo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The yo-yo is activated by pointing Trogg in the right direction and pressing the 
fire button. The longer the button is held down, the further the yo-yo goes,
until it reach a maximum of a screen width before returning.


Live and Score
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are given three lives to get as far as possible, and if you attain a good
enough score, ypu enter your name in a high score table. The highest score
achived is given an unusual high score verification code, in the form of a short
scrolling message at the bottom left of the screen.
"Hairy gonks hit crazy beetles slowly" I'm not drunk, that's an example of an
high score code.
