01.)                    INTRODUCTION                                 G0100
===============================================================================

Welcome to The Penguin & Seal for the NES, a puzzle game by Sachen released in
1989. It is often called "Artic Adventure" as it says so on some carts. In
Australia it was released as 'Arctic Adventure: The Penguin & Seal' and also
included in the Mindblower Pak compilation.

Suggestions, comments or errors - e-mail me about it. Enjoy!

02.)                    BASICS                                       G0200
===============================================================================

Choose between 1-Player, 2-Player or Construction at the main menu, by cycling
through them with SELECT. Use A and B to jump 5 stages which you can see at
the top right corner.


1-Player:
`````````
The aim is to bring home all gems to your igloo. At the same time you need to
avoid the seals and watch the time limit.

Press A to slide tiles. Blue tiles will disappear when they hit another blue
tile, a green tile or a wall. You can, however, shift them on water without
losing them. Green tiles do not disappear and can only be moved when there is
no other green tile or gem is beyond them. They will make blue tiles
disappear. You cannot move gems over other tiles but they do kill seals. Set
the gems down near the igloo and push them in. After all gems are in your
igloo you win the stage.

Use the B button to carry a gem. Walking into it while carrying lets you
position. Press B again to set down the gem, at best near the igloo where you
can push it in afterwards.

The time bar (<-Force) is another thing to remember. Watch it closely as you
cannot take forever to finish a stage. The more time you have left at the end
of a stage the more bonus points you get. The time resets when you die, but of
course you have one life less.

You lose a life if you get touched by a seal. You can defeat them by sliding a
tile into them, but they will shortly respawn at a starting point. The seals
can also move tiles, so be careful. However, they cannot move green tiles or
gems so use them as blocks if necessary.


2-Player:
`````````
Similar gameplay than the single player experience, only you take turns when
one player has died and compete for a high score.


Construction:
`````````````
You can make your own levels.

Use the D-Pad to move around.
Press A to set down the current tile.
Press B to erase the current tile.
SELECT cycles through the blue, green and diamond shapes.
START ends the construction.

When you are done, this will be the new Stage-01 until you reset the game.


Score:
``````
Remove a blue tile           10 points
Bring home a gem            200 points

03.)                    STAGES                                       G0300
===============================================================================

Most stages are easy to solve, I've only left a few strategies for the ones
that might give you trouble.

Strategy: Leave the lowest gem for last, gotten by removing the ones above
thus freeing and entry withing blocking off the gem.

Strategy: Remove the right ones first and then slide the block to the left of
these two right once and the middle one between those down or up to get to the
last gem.

I don't get it. There are no gems, so you win straight away?! This could have
been a good stage.

Strategy: Removing the top gem is easy, but how about the other two? Look at
the left side a little closer:
  1 2
  34
   5$
  67
  8
  9
  A$B
  CDE

First move 1 to the left, and 3 up by going around the entire stage. The move
9 right and grab the gem. When you are back from the igloo, push 6 away and
freeing the last gem should be easy now.

Strategy: Start with the very top one, slide the block on the left of it up
and then do the same with the one underneath it. Also move the last block in
the column to get your way to the next gem. Once that one is gone, it's easy
access to the last one, too.

Strategy: You must get the lower gem first, go in via the path and move the
blocks up and down onto the water square respectively. Afterwards, move the
block near the second lower gem up so you can reach it. The last two gems
shouldn't be a problem. And all this time you should be nicely protected from
the seals as well.
