Descpription:
The game begins at the base of the mountain pass
leading to Satan's Hollow. Players control a combination cannon-bridge-builder,
which moves horizontally across the bottom of the screen by means of a Tron-like joystick.
The object of the first screen is to build a bridge across the fiery river
leading through to Satan's Hollow, to do battle with Satan himself.
Your ultimate foe will not let you through without a fight so he has sent
out formations of demonic gargoyles to bar the way.
The gargoyles fly back and forth across the screen in tight formations.
When you are in really tight situations, press the Shield button to activate
a protective aura around the cannon, but it has use of a limited duration.
Every time a gargoyle is killed, an angry squawk is sounded off and a bridge
segment will appear at the bottom left side of the screen. To pick one up move
the cannon over it and it will automatically latch on to it.
If it is successfully towed to the far right side of the screen, it forms
a segment of the bridge under construction.
Although each time a gargoyle is destroyed a segment can appear, it only
does so if the previous segment has already been positioned on the bridge.
If all gargoyles in the formation are killed, Lucifer, Old Nick or Beelzebub
will appear circling above the ground while breathing enormous streams of
fire at the cannon. Although the shield protects the cannon against
collision and projectiles, it gives very little protection against the
huge streams of fire breathed by Lucifer, Old Nick or Beelzebub.
When the bridge has been finished, the cannon can cross over the river of fire
to Satan's Hollow on the other side of the mountain where the player finally has
a chance to do battle with Satan, who will hurl deadly tridents at the cannon.
After the player has destroyed Satan, a bonus is awarded and the
game begins again with increased difficulty.
