Dungeon Adventure (Steve Sherrard)

Note: This is the second of two games named "Dungeon Adventure" from the Rainbow Adventures book.

Legend has it that there is a beautiful, happy land in the remote corner of the world, untouched by civilizations, war and evilness. Everyone in the kingdom lives in harmony and no one is poor. The king grants everyone's wishes and because of his love and unselfishness for the citizens, all the people have great loyalty and respect for him and his royal family.

It is a sad commentary, but true that everywhere in the world, evil surrounds goodness-it anxiously awaits any opportunity to infect every inch of the earth with vile corruption. Deep beneath this happy kingdom lived a clan of ugly, iniquitous creatures called Groms. They dwell in chambers and tunnels filled with dirt, large spiders, rodents and

minotaurs. The Groms thrive on evilness and strive to extinguish all happiness and merriment in the world. They detest the happy kingdom and after much planning, they realized the only way to stop the love and goodness in the kingdom was to get to its heart-the sweet princess. The evil Groms bided their time until the greatest celebration of the year arrived in the kingdom the king's birthday.

During the day, all the townspeople were very busy preparing for the evening's festivities which included delicious food, wine, singing and dancing. When evening came, everyone left their homes to celebrate in the center of town. The royal family danced and dined with the townspeople until suddenly, they heard growling and snarling so loud that even the houses and streets seemed to tremble. They looked toward the woods and to their horror, saw the ugly Groms, furry creatures with long arms that help them to run fast. The nails and teeth of the Groms were long and sharp and they salivated savagely at the mere glance at other living creatures.

All the towns people screamed and scurried in all directions, bumping into one another, as the Groms ran through the crowd. The largest Grom picked up the princess, who was paralyzed with fear, then ran into the woods and down into the very bowels of the earth.

You, the bravest in the kingdom, must search the underground chambers and dungeons to find the helpless princess and bring her to safety. Be careful because evil surprises await you at each tunnel's turn.
