Rescue Of Blondell

When the king summoned you before him you were sure it was for a magic carpet parking violation, but now you know better. His only daughter, Blondell, has been kidnapped by an evil sorcerer — and the king wants you to rescue her. You were chosen for the task because 3'ou're the most reputable genie in the kingdom. The princess is being held captive in a tower. You must try to save her from the clutches of the evil sorcerer by flying your magic carpet toward the tower, picking her up, and flying back to your base. It won't be easy, though. The sorcerer owns very swift and powerful birds that he sends out to combat you. These birds are intelligent and will home in on your flying carpet. Worse, the sorcerer has bestowed some of his powers on the birds. They can summon the elements and hurl fiery lightning bolts at you. Since you are a genie, you'll have magic on your side, but beware — magic lasts only for a while. The more times the birds crash into you or strike you with lightning bolts, the less magic you'll have left to defend yourself. You have one other defense; you, too, can summon lightning and throw bolts at your foes. Try to strike the swooping birds. Multiple Skill Levels "Rescue Of Blondell" is an arcade-style game that features smooth horizontal scrolling and multiple levels of difficulty. On the Atari version, choose the level at the beginning of the game by pressing one of the number keys {l = hard, 9 = easy). On the Commodore versions, you can choose the number of attacking birds (1 to 3 on the Commodore 64, and 1 to 9 on the VIC).
