    Thank you very much for downloading MALAIKA (RLV914) for the MSX system!


===============================================================================
 (*) STORYLINE
===============================================================================

Suddenly the peaceful Prehistoric World became attacked! Some strange
creatures from outer space were invading every single corner in the planet.
What could they do? 

Malaika, the young princess of the Prehistoric World decided it was enough!
There were aliens everywhere: in the fields, in the woods... also, big
spaceships were floating everywhere with nasty sounds and filling the
air with pollution.

Said and done! Malaika steps ahead in front of danger, and starts her
solo fight against the invasor. Would you help her to succeed?


===============================================================================
 (*) HOW TO PLAY
===============================================================================
 
Malaika will find different scenarios where she must defeat every enemy around.
When every foe is finished, you will be able to proceed.

Malaika's attack is based on the bone in her hair: she can shoot it to a
certain distance so she can stun enemies. Once they are stunned, you can run
over them in order to kill 'em. But be sure not to touch them when they are
awake and kickin'!

There are lots of hidden items at every scenario. Try to find where they
are located, as they are pretty useful! Most of them gives you points, but
some of them can feature certain effects.

[] Green Sweet.- Your weapon will become faster. That way you can have
it back sooner in order to shoot it again!

[] Red Sweet.- Your weapon will increase its range, so you will shoot farther.

[] Sandclock.- Every enemy on stage will be stunned. Be quick and kill them,
as when they recover, they become speedier!!

[] Star.- The bone will transform into a power star. This new weapon will
kill enemies inmediately, so use it for good! It's a pity you can use it
just at the stage you have get it.

There is a certain order of items: if you really want to master Malaika you
should learn that order and use it for your advantage!

Also you can search for points, and points, everywhere! You can also try to
collect the EXTENDED letters. When you touch an stunned enemy, it will morph
into a light sphere and kicked up: it is crucial to time where you kill an
enemy, as the appearing letter depends on the place it falls: if the enemy
falls at the very left it will give you the first "E", and so on. It is
strategy time! Go for the maximum score and increase your lives!


===============================================================================
