                     SINBAD AND THE THRONE OF THE FALCON
ON THE TRAIL:
     At  the crossroads you will see a signpost of the cities you  can  travel
to.  At the top right of the screen is a bar that tells you where you are.  At
the right end of the location bar is a restart box and a music box - the  uses
of which are pretty obvious.  You may plan your destination by clicking on the
mpa on sinbads belt. Check your progress, as well as the precious time left to
you  by clicking on the theraniil stone next to the map.  You'll also use  the
stone to issue orders to the armies of Damaron.  If the Gods smile on you  and
you find a genie, you may click on his bottle to confer with him. Your travels
wil take you on ocean voyages as well as overland trecks, and all of the tools
listed  above  are available to you in your cabin  aboard  the  Sabaralus.  To
travel  on the high seas,  you may click on any of the destinations listed  on
the right hand page of the log book. To land at your current location click on
the left page.
     If your strength runs low click on the strength bar to rest for a day.
     You can converse with characters by clicking on them.
War-What is it good for?
     Evoke the power of the Theraniil stone.  Contact the field commanders  by
clicking  on the soldier.  A map of Damaron will appear in  the  crystal.  The
white troops are your men.  Click on them to learn their status:  unit number,
strength  and current movement orders.  You may order them to move one hex  in
any direction.  Units ordered into water hex's become ships. Click on an enemy
unit when one of your troops is adjacent to learn the enemy's  strength.  When
opposing units move into the same square, the battle commences. Units adjacent
to  a  battle lend their strength to their comrades,  so keep  your  units  in
groupsl When your strength runs low,  send your troops to a supply  center(the
gold hex's and the palace).  Pteranoxos are messengers for the baddy so  shoot
them  down with your bow before they can return to their  master.  Moving  the
joystick left and right moves the arrow along the bottom of the screen. Up and
down alter the angle of your aim.  The cyclops raid your camps and kidnap your
men.  You must persue the cyclops to his cave,  avoiding nasty wildlife,  then
kill  the  villian with your sling.  Watch out for the  boulders  the  cyclops
throws. When ever Sinbad discovers an Idol, he must attempt to grab one of the
eyes.  To  do  this  click on one of the eyes when you are sure  it  is  safe.
Disturbing  the three sisters is a risky business.  Their wrath is  liable  to
take  the form of an earthquake.  If this happens you must reach  the  surface
before  the opening closes or your strength fails.  Jump across ledges at  the
same level by pushing left of right and pressing the fire button. To jump up a
level,  push  up and press the fire button.  Pull back and press fire to  drop
down a level.

REMEMBER -- Four characters are vital to your success:
LIBITINA (Who wants your body,  and we all know what for). Let her have it and
she will give you great strength.
THE GENIE -- Able to help you in tight situations.  After you find him he will
stay on hand to help you as the situations arise. If you lose him, undertake a
search and you may find him again.
THE SHAMAN -- Is one of the first people you need to find.  He alone holds the
knowledge of how to free the Caliph from the curse.  When you locate him, heed
his words. And don't forget where you found him.
THE  GYPSY -- Be patient with her and be sympathetic to her ills and  she  may
give you some valuable guidance.
     When  in  a port you can send out a recruiting party to attempt  to  find
some  more  sailor for your ship.  The larger the city prot  the  greater  the
chance/number of recruits you may find.
Long live the Caliph!
