3. INTRODUCTION
***********************************************************************

This is my first Intellivision FAQ.  Why am I writing one?  Because
very recently somebody gave me an Intelllivision that they had along
with many games for it.  I'm really enjoying playing the console, so I
figured that I'd might as well do some FAQs for games on it.

A game with the title "Beauty and the Beast" sounds like a very strange and
stupid game, but it is actually one of my favorite Intellivision games out of
the ones I have.  It's one of the newer games (it was made in 1982, while many
others were made in 1978) and clearly has better graphics than the older ones. 
Beauty and the Beast is a very fun and interesting game!


********************************************************************************
4. HOW THE GAME WORKS
********************************************************************************

As a man named Buford, level by level, you climb to the top of a hotel to try
to save Tiny Mabel from Horrible Hank.

In each level, there are a few stories of the building, which all have windows
on the outside.  To climb up to the top to beat the level, you must wait for a
window to open, then press up on the control disc to climb up.

However, there are a few more things in the levels to make them more
interesting.  If you run into a boulder that Horrible Hank throws, a rat, or a
bird, then you'll lose a life.  Lose all your lives, and you'll have to start
your game all over again!  But, if you run into a heart, you'll get temporary
invincibility and 50 points added to the 100 you automatically get for beating
a level, then another 50 points for each thing that you run into that would
normally hurt you when you're invincible.

After you beat all the levels, you'll start at the beginning of the building
again, except you're score will keep going, and the levels will be harder than
the first time around! Good luck!

6. WAYS TO WIN
********************************************************************************

Here are some tips, approaches, etc. that you can use for winning at this game.

* Get as many hearts and run into as many things while you're invincible as
possible.  I usually stay at the bottom of each level until I get a heart and
sometimes run into something, then as I'm climbing to the top, I get at least
one heart and run into at least one thing.  I've gotten something like 1050
points after only the fourth level on the first time through the building doing
this!

* If you're on the fourth level or so, and you have a lot of lives, jump off
the side of the building.  That's right, you heard me.  Jump off.  By doing
this, you will still keep your score, except you start with it at the bottom of
the building, so you can gain more points. And, as far as I know, you only
loose one life.
