Have you got what it takes to build your very own monster? THE SETTING: Professor F.N. Stein's laboratory in his Castle in the Black Forest. THE TIME: 1884 THE GAME: 50 Screens requiring timing, logic and planning to complete. THE OPPOSITION: Too many to list here, but featuring: snails, bats, ice (it makes you slip!), firemen's poles, man-eating pumpkins, spiders, slime (it slows you down), caterpillars, tanks, spring, light bulbs (they electrocute you), mice, lobsters, snakes, bumble bees, jack-in-the-box, etc. THE OBJECT: As you know, all the best monsters are hand built. Prof. Stein's life-long ambition has always been to build his own monster - but first he needs all the bits! You guide him around the dungeon picking up the bones - make sure you get the right order - then activate him by throwing the switch - the longer you take to complete each screen the higher will be the charge you give him - and the angrier he will become - so watch out! JOYSTICK COMPATIBILITY: The program will work with the following joysticks: AGF, Kempston, Protek, Sinclair Interface, Quickshot. Alternatively you can use the following keys: Z - MOVE LEFT X - MOVE RIGHT SPACE - ACTIVATE (eg. when over a spring, pressing SPACE will make you jump)
