About the game:
You are He-Man on a mission to defeat Skeletor, who has occupied one of the
towers of Castle Grayskull. According to the game's manual, Skeletor has
achieved invincibility with an object called the "Ilearth Stone".
To defeat Skeletor, you must first destroy the Ilearth Stone, but at the
outset, you have insufficient power to do so. You need to upgrade the Power
Sword to the ATOM SMASHER.
The upgrade requires the use of ingredients, which are scattered throughout
Grayskull. There seven ingredients in total, but only six of them are used
for the upgrade. The other item will ruin the upgrade and require that you
start collecting ingredients from the beginning.
Once you have collected all and only the six correct ingredients, Orko will
use them to produce the ATOM SMASHER. With that upgraded sword, you can
destroy the Ilearth Stone and then defeat Skeletor.

About the run:
Wow I really did it. This was the first game I ever played on my own C64 way back in past. Even if it is a somehow bad game, it has a special place in my heart. There are multiple routes possible, depending on the rng where to find the right ingedients. In this run the rng wasnt the best, the spikey ball appeared on a location I had to cross anyway, so I couldnt skip certain sections of the game. But still a good run with 1 live and almost no energy left...thats how it suppossed to be.
I also like the constantly repeating tune. Thumbs up.
