CHILLY PALS — DRAGON 32 / DRAGON 64
Native Motorola 6809 / Dragon Extended BASIC
© 2026 Fire Dragon Interactive
FREE EXPERIMENTAL EDITION — November 2026

WHAT'S INCLUDED
The original C64 game's 200 source-derived Chilly Pals puzzle arenas,
packaged into 10 standalone 20-round Dragon world editions and a separate
five-round demonstration. Every world cassette is a self-contained program;
you do not need to load the preceding cassette to begin a later world.

HOW TO LOAD
1. Select a CAS file for your chosen world or demo.
2. Insert or mount the cassette using a Dragon 32/64-compatible loader.
3. In Dragon Extended BASIC enter: CLOAD"CHILLYPL"
4. When the tape finishes loading enter: RUN
5. On a Dragon 64, use its Dragon 32-compatible mode.
If you use a .BAS file instead, import it with an ASCII BASIC importer
compatible with Dragon Extended BASIC.
Do not load the .CAS image as a C64 PRG or MSX ROM.
No commercial Dragon ROM firmware or emulator is included.

CONTROLS
On the title screen press:
  K    Keyboard controls
  J    Right-hand analogue joystick controls

Keyboard:
  A    Move left
  D    Move right
  W    Move up
  S    Move down
  SPACE  Push an ice block or shock a boundary wall
  P    Pause
  R    Restart the current round without consuming a life

Right joystick: move with the stick and use FIRE to push.
The push action triggers once per fire-button press.
Move up to a movable ice block and push towards an open lane.
A sliding block can crush snow-bees; a blocked block shatters.
Break egg blocks before the snow-bees hatch or hunt the escaped enemies.
Earn points and clear the round by eliminating its enemies and eggs.
Be careful of water, burning coals, slippery ice and later-world gusts.

KNOWN DIFFERENCES AND LIMITATIONS
This is a Dragon BASIC adaptation with the same 200 C64 source boards,
not an exact port of the C64 assembly game. Enemy behavior routines, ice physics,
hazards, power-ups, sound, animation and other features are simplified
for 32 KB-era hardware and BASIC interpreter constraints.

The source build, cassette framing/checksums, source board identity,
graphics transformations and release metadata are statically checked.
Neither Dragon 32 nor Dragon 64 has been booted in an emulator or on
original hardware for this release. Real-world responsiveness,
loading compatibility, visuals, playthroughs and audio are UNVERIFIED.
Do not treat these binaries as certified retail or hardware-tested.
