The year is 2026. An evil tyrant who calls himself 'Achilles' rules with
an iron fist. His unstoppable army of warriors keeps the world at Achilles'
mercy.
Once a proud member of Achilles' elite group of Trojan Warriors, you realize
that Achilles is not the great leader you once took him to be. Seeing the
unspeakable acts of cruelty he has committed on innocent people causes you
to abandon your position and join the resistance against Achilles.
The resistance did not last long. Achilles' loyal Trojan Warriors quickly
destroy any uprising against their master. Knowing that there is no other
way, you infiltrate Achilles' capitol, the city of Troy. The only thing
that stands between you and your former master is an army of merciless
killers. With your sword and shield in hand, you enter the frey....

5. Items
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
No video game hero can make it far in a game without power-up items! The
Trojan Warrior in this game is no exception. He will find a number of
items along his journey through Troy.
Floating Heart - VERY valuable. This item will restore half of your
stamina
High-Jump Boot - This item will temporarily let you jump the heighth of
the screen so you can reach other items or whack
hard-to-reach enemies.
Throwing Star - This is not an offensive item, unfortunately. It's only
function is to give you a mega-point boost. That's all.
Sorry.
Key - This item will, you guessed it, unlock a door. Big surprise there.
1UP - Do I even need to say it?
Mice - These rodents really don't do anything. You only get extra points
for finding them.
Power-Up - This is the 'Must-Have' item for the game. Obtaining a floating
'P' will double your attacking strength. You will keep this item
until you die.
Speed-up - This is a very rare, yet very useful item. Obtaining the
floating 'S' will double your walking speed, making it easy to
reach enemies before they can attack you.
Sword and Shield - If the Armored Foot Solider causes you to lose your
weapons, these will appear at a later time in the level.
Remember, without them, you cannot guard, so get them
back as quick as possible if you lose them.

to it.

up into a ball and rolling across the screen. Remember to jump
over them as they roll under you or it will cause a double-dose

and attack. Dodge it until he stands up, and slash him. He will
perform the same pattern until he's dead.

Description: This power-house guards the entrance to Achilles' underground
fortress. Their massive clubs will cause two blocks of damage
and are unblockable.

of his club. He will swing it a few times. After he does, perform
the same manuever until you kill him.
Name: Trojan Warrior
Weapon: Sword and Shield
Difficulty: Hard
Hits to Kill: 8
Description: Along the way, you'll have to do battle with your former
comrads, who will kill you on sight for your betrayal. They are
virtual clones of you, possessing your same weapons and moves.
Strategy: These cheap suckers tend to crouch and guard a lot. When they do
that try jumping and slashing. Hopefully, you'll hit their heads
as you come down. They'll try the same strategy against you, so
remember to do a standing guard when they do to keep from getting
hit.

Weapon: Flail
Difficulty: Medium
Hits to Kill: 4
Description: These warriors are statues brought to life by magic. They are
Achilles' last line of defense. When they burst from their
stone forms, remember to avoid the flying rocks.

perform a jump attack. When you hit him, guard low, and he'll
force you back. Remember that when you kill the first one, a
second one will burst from the wall. After killing the first one
immediately get to the side of the screen opposite the second one.
Name: Achilles
Weapon: Long Sword
Difficulty: Extremely Hard
Hits to Kill: 8
Description: As the final boss, Achilles is all too happy to give you a fight
to the death. His long sword gives him incredible reach, and
to top that, he can take off four energy blocks with one hit.
Two hits and it's over for you!
Strategy: Never attack Achilles on the ground or when he's swinging his
sword. Wait until he has it over his head and jump attack him,
immediatly followed by a low guard. He will force you back, and
once you're out of his range, back off, and get ready to do it
again. Make sure you are very quick with your low guard after
hitting him. Most of time, he'll block your attack, and when he
does, perform a low guard before he can counter-attack.
