RASPUTIN
Firebird Software 1986
CONTROLS : Keyboard, Kempston, Cursor
---------------------------------------------------------------------
AIM : You must destroy the Jewel of the Seven Planets which is the
power source of the Spirit of Rasputin. To reach the Jewel you must
first neutralise tha eight spells that have been cast in Rasputin's
name.
GAMEPLAY : To neutralise the spells, you must enter the nether world
of the Seven Planets - a multi-roomed labyrinth hovering in space/time.
You have the magic power of your sword and shield, but their power
wanes like a candle (shown at the bottom of the screen) every time you
use them. Find the stones with the mark of Rasputin and by stepping on
them you will replenish the power of your sword and shield.
Absorb the power of all the stones in a dimension and the wrath of
Rasputin's mind is manifested in the form of a creature from the dark
side. Destroy this creature and it will be transformed into a spell-
stone inscribed with a rune of power. These runes were cast by the
Lords of Light to aid you in your quest and may be absorbed into your
soul upon contact.
Most of these spells are regenerative, restoring health or weapon
power. The most important, however, is that of the Eyes of Heaven.
This will protect you from the power of Rasputin's Evil Eyes and allow
you access to the boxes that neutralise the eight spells cast in
Rasputin's name. When you collect such a spell one of the four Spell
Harmony Indicators in the status panel indicates the colour of the
room in which your Eye of Heaven spell is active. On entering a room
of the appropriate colour, the eye it contains is deactivated and you
can collect the rune it defends.
Once all eight runes have been collected, you will be able to collect
the Jewel of the Seven Planets and destroy Rasputin's plans.
COMMENTS : "A complex 3D game which should appeal to fans of the
genre."
RATING : 79% (CRASH #37, April 1986)
NOW : Rasputin is a nice-looking but ultimately rather frustrating
Knight Lore clone, and is not nearly as good as that game.
