     2 A Classic Fairytale: The Journey Back

     3 

     4 = SUMMARY =

     5 This is a very complex and heavily scripted mission with

     6 2 major gameplay variants and 2 sub-variants each.

     7 

     8 This mission is mostly about movement and overcoming obstacles,

     9 and not much about fighting.

    10 

    11 The player has either 1 or 2 hogs (depending on previous mission)

    12 and must reach the left coast. The cyborg will show up from time

    13 to time and constantly annoys the heroes with obstacles and additional

    14 challenges.

    15 

    16 The mission's gameplay is affected by whether Dense Cloud survived

    17 in the previous mission. The mission's dialogues are affected by

    18 the decision of the player in the previous mission.

    19 

    20 = GOALS =

    21 - Collect the crate at the left coast

    22 - (Need to accomplish various sub-goals before this is possible)

    23 - Then kill the cyborg

    24
