INTRODUCTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is yet another Boulderdash clone but this time it is inspired by the
Nordic mythology. Your task is to guide Balder - the god of light -
through groves filled with berserks and dragons. Collect rings, push
runestones and try to find the small passage to the next level. 

The game comes with 40 levels and a level editor. I hope you will enjoy
it!

REQUIREMENTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~
These programs need Workbench 2.04 or higher. They have been tested on an
A500 with 1M CHIP and 2M FAST, and an A3000 with 2M CHIP and 4M FAST, but
will hopefully run on other configurations too, provided that you have at
least 1M CHIP.

You may try running the game and the level editor simultaneously, this is
very handy when editing and testing new levels, but be careful so that
you don't run out of chip mem.


INSTALLATION
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Copy the contents of the 'Fonts' directory to FONTS: by clicking the
'CopyFont' icon or executing the 'CopyFont' batch file from SHELL.

Finished!!!


THANKS!

Thanks also to Steve Drew for testing the programs on his NTSC-amiga.
