Story:

Dizzy Legends
=============
A long time ago, countless years before the time of Dizzy and the present Yolkfolk, evil and
oppression were the watchwords of the land. Common yolkfolk were suppressed, beaten and tortured. The
land itself had a dark dank air of fear and terror, and an oppressive, twisted, and paranoid leader
ruled with an iron fist...

Chapter 2: Curse of the Mystics
===============================
13 years have passed since the rise of The Lord of Darkness, and the Lord has long since receded
into himself, growing ever more bitter and twisted with every passing year. The Castle of Illumination
has long since lost its shine and sparkle, instead becoming a monstrous forboding presence, towering
over the land and keeping the common subjects constantly fearful of their lives.

The Lord himself is bordering on the edge of madness, now almost obsessive in his belief that someone
will plot against him as he did against the king before him. Rumours have reached him that the son
of the long dead king is planning a coup, and in his madness, the Lord has turned to mystics and
sorcerers to guide him and help remove the threat to his rule...

About:
------
This is the Dizzy Legends Chapter 2: Curse of The Mystics game
It includes a pak file which contains all the data used to run the game.
It can be unpacked using the 'pak' application which comes included
with the DizzyAGE program.
It also includes the setup application, used to configure game settings.

Huge huge thanks go to James (DizzyFanUK), Colin (Colin), Alex (xelanoimis), and especially
Annie (quiggie), for testing the game to death, finding loads of bugs, and making loads of
suggestions. Thanks also go, as always, to Alex Simion for creating DizzyAGE.

Keys are:

hold down CTRL to run while moving

press ENTER to perform an action/open inventory

Some puzzles require you to drop items, some require you to use them.
some may even require you to eat or drink an item.
usually, if you need to drop an item, there will be somewhere to do so.
experiment and all will soon become clear. :)

If present, a gamepad or a joystick can also be used.
You can mute the sound with F9,
toggle windowed/full screen mode with F10,
and show the game FPS with F11.
F1 will display the About box (windowed only).
Use PrintScreen or ctrl+PrintScreen to save a screenshot.

Troubleshooting:
----------------
By default, the game runs in 640x480 windowed mode (scale x2).
It should have sound enabled, keyboard and joystick support.
The game uses cotm.ini for keeping its settings.
You can adjust them from the provided setup, or even manually.
If you experience troubles running the game,
try checking the log messages (enable them from setup),
visit the official web site for details, or contact the author.
