Mystic Marathon (prototype)
The object of Mystic Marathon is to guide an elvish looking goblin in some sort of overland race. In most arcade games if you made a mistake you would lose a life, but in Mystic Marathon making a mistake, any mistake, simply meant it was impossible to win the race. Bump into something, oops, can't win. Choose the wrong path, can't win. Press jump at the wrong time, can't win.

STORY:
- Once every year, it is decreed that those who have the will for glory, fame and wealth indeed shall meet in games of skill. A marathon will be their test on mystic isles of lore and whomsoever proves the best, more clever, faster than the rest will top the greatest score. To be the greatest you must use strong magic if you dare for on the isles your foes will choose the magic paths to make you lose unless you beat them there. But dangers lurk on land and seas to guard the treasures bright. So while you gather points with ease avoid the trolls, the rocks, the trees or you will feel their might. Above all, don't forget the race place third or better, friend. If you let magic slow your pace or treasures pull you from the chase your marathon will end...
PLAY INSTRUCTIONS:
- Remember this is a race... so keep running. Use magic to cross between islands. Don't feed the fins.
- Caves will move you to the next cave.
- Magic bridges only move left and right.
- Holes will move you to the next hole.
- Birds, butterflies and balloons will fly you ahead if you catch them.
- The following objects score bonus points: Rubies, gold, pearls, diamonds and gold mushrooms.
- Beware the following hazards. They slow you down: Small and large rocks, red mushrooms, ferns, geysers, cactus and whirlpools.
LEVELS: 99 (endless)
