The Caverns of Freitag
The evil dragon Freitag has taken refuge in a large system of caverns on the
Enchanted Islands. A Thechu warrior must explore the maze, overcome Freitag’s
minions and finally slay the evil beast, so that the Islands may once again be
free.
_The Caverns of Freitag_ is an action-based RPG where the player controls the
warrior on his way to kill the dragon. The many monsters of the labyrinth can
be destroyed using either a sword or a bow. Arrows are limited, however, and
must be purchased at an inn from gold left behind by vanquished foes. Also at
the inn, the warrior advances in levels and hit points according to experience
gained from killing enemies. In addition to the weapons, the warrior can
employ a magic spell which doubles his speed, and can only be used to run from
enemies.
The game has three different display modes: in the standard mode, the screen
displays the maze and the monsters in detail. It can be changed to an overview
mode which shows the maze and monsters in a small window and adds detailed
character statistics and messages. Finally, a magic map can be employed to
display a larger section of the maze, with the disadvantage that monsters are
not visible.
