About the Game

The player(s) control one or two fairies called Tam and Rit armed with a magic wand (rod).
The fairies' quest is to rescue their mother, trapped in a tower.
In the sequel (part of the original arcade machine) they must venture into a pyramid, to stop an evil demon that is building a mobile fortress.
The spirit of their departed father "guides" them at a couple of points.
The ending implies that the demon in the pyramid was somehow responsible for their father's death.
