                  THE STORY
                  Once upon a time in a world separated from reality by a twist, 
                  a step and a dream there lived Gryphon. Gryphon was the 
                  ultimate griffin, a creature of myth from the dawn of man 
                  living in the Land of Dreams and Legend. 
                  Across this land spread the imagination of sleeping humans 
                  creating a dreamscape of Mystical Woods, Surreal Cities and 
                  the dangerous Darklands. Gryphon awoke one day to discover his 
                  gold horde threatened by the ID Monsters and the peaceful 
                  Dreamscape distorted by nightmares, gargantuan barriers 
                  blocking his travel across the different regions to his rest. 
                  Even, the once pure water of the rivers and lakers had turned 
                  to sour and deadly poison. With a roar Gryphon leaped into the 
                  air, clasping a gold bar in his beak, and soared forward using 
                  bolts of pure Gryphon magic to clear his path towards his 
                  nest...

                  Carry gold bars from the far left to the screen (you can pick 
                  up a glittering bar by moving to the bottom left of the 
                  screen) to the right of the screen. Here you will find an 
                  insurmountable barrier with a small tunnel at its base. 
                  The floor of this is covered with the deadly poisononous 
                  waters. Use your gold bars to make stepping stones across 
                  this. You may only carry one gold bar at a time. You may fight 
                  off Id Monsters with bolts of pure Griffin Magic. In order to 
                  fly you must run along the ground first (left to right) the 
                  jump into the air (up) after the Mystical Woods you will find
