About the Game
Versions of this game have already appeared on other computers for quite some time. The goal is to run along the castle walls and reach the opposite side where the treasure lies. However, things are not that simple — you must jump over the objects rolling along the wall while simultaneously avoiding the arrows being shot from below.
The game consists of six different screens with increasing difficulty. Upon reaching the end of each screen, a bell rings to signal your progress to the next level. You have a total of four lives, which can be increased by modifying line 200 of the program.
If you reach the treasure, you earn a 200-point bonus and return to the first screen. At the end of each game, your score is displayed, and you are asked to enter your name, which is recorded in a scoreboard so that multiple players can compete.
You can use either a joystick or the cursor keys to run and jump.
