General Information
The player controls a winged man named Kokotoni Wilf, whose task is to collect all parts of the Dragon amulet scattered across different historical eras. In total, the game features six epochs: the ancient world (965 BC), the Middle Ages ( 1066 - the year of the Norman conquest of England ), the Renaissance ( 1467 ), New Time ( 1784 ), modernity ( 1984 ) and the future (for the moment of creation of the game - 2001 ). In each epoch you need to find and collect all the fragments of the amulet, after which the last fragment, previously invisible, will appear.
In each epoch, the protagonist must overcome many different dangers characteristic of this historical period - from dinosaurs and archers to taking off planes and spacecraft. The hero does not have a weapon and should simply avoid these dangers. There are 63 screens in the game, some of them are presented in the form of mini-mazes.

Additional facts
- Elite Systems held a contest: the first 100 players who passed Kokotoni Wilf were to receive a free copy of the next game of the company - Fall Guy . To confirm their passage, the participants of the competition had to inform the information that opens at the end of the game - for which the wizard Ulrich sent Kokotoni Wilf to search for parts of the amulet. A letter from one of the readers who encountered a gaming bug was published in Personal Computer Games magazine in January 1985: he had an incorrect program download, and information about Ulrich appeared before he started playing [3] .
- You can start the game from any of the first three eras — for this you need to press the 1-3 keys, and the previous eras will be considered passed [4] .
- In 965 BC dinosaurs are present, which is completely inconsistent with historical reality (dinosaurs died out about 65 million years ago).
