Welcome to Project 64!
http://project64.c64.org

The goal of Project 64 is to preserve Commodore 64 related documents
in electronic text format that might otherwise cease to exist with the
rapid advancement of computer technology and declining interest in 8-
bit computers on the part of the general population. If you would like
to help by converting C64 related hardcopy documents to electronic
texts please contact the manager of Project 64.

Extensive efforts were made to preserve the contents of the original
document.  However, certain portions, such as diagrams, program
listings, and indexes may have been either altered or sacrificed due
to the limitations of plain vanilla text.  Diagrams may have been
eliminated where ASCII-art was not feasible.  Program listings may be
missing display codes where substitutions were not possible.  Tables
of contents and indexes may have been changed from page number
references to section number references. Please accept our apologies
for these limitations, alterations, and possible omissions.

Document names are limited to the 8.3 file convention of DOS. The
first characters of the file name are an abbreviation of the original
document name. The version number of the etext follows next. After
that a letter may appear to indicate the particular source of the
document. Finally, the document is given a .TXT extension.

The author(s) of the original document and members of Project 64 make
no representations about the accuracy or suitability of this material
for any purpose.  This etext is provided "as-is".  Please refer to the
warrantee of the original document, if any, that may included in this
etext.  No other warrantees, express or implied, are made to you as to
the etext or any medium it may be on.  Neither the author(s) nor the
members of Project 64 will assume liability for damages either from
the direct or indirect use of this etext or from the distribution of

 GAMEPLAY

 LEVEL 1
 To complete level 1 you must enter Rutherford's Auction House. 
 Avoiding the high security system, make your way to the seventh floor
 where you will find a safe.  Open the safe and retrieve Leonardo Da
 Vinci's horse sculpture, "The Sforza".
 
 On your way you will meet various obstructions:  security guards with
 clubs and guns, guard dogs, laser cameras and dangerous janitors. 
 Their job is to stop you completing your task.
 
 
 LEVEL 2
 To complete level 2 you must retrieve Leonardo Da Vinci's sketch book,
 "The Codex".
 
 This you will find displayed in the Vatican Halls.  Beware, this is a
 valued possession and you will be confronted by seemingly friendly
 nuns, but appearances can be deceptive.
 
 
 LEVEL 3
 To complete level 3 you must enter Leonardo Da Vinci's castle in
 search of the Mirrored Crystal.
 
 Obtaining this crystal is the only way of destroying the Gold Machine
 and putting an end to the Alchemy Project.  Your path will be crossed
 by a mixture of nasties including ballooning gangsters, TV throwing
 thugs, sloths and rats.
 
 All are extremely dangerous.
 
 
 HINTS AND TIPS
 --------------
 * Keep moving.
 * Some of the crates can be moved to more useful positions.
 * Use the ball to turn off switches you cannot reach.
 * Some baddies require more than one hit to kill them.
 * Chairs and a few crates can be used as springboards to enable you to
   jump further.
 * Flashing switches mean they are on a timer.
