Why, win the game, of course :-)

The first thing to do is to equip your characters.  After that, go into the
castle that's right in front of you when you start the game (beware of the
shark!  You CAN get by him, if you time it right).  Once in there, check
things out, and fight things - you'll figure out which ones you can beat
pretty quickly, although it might cost you a couple more restarts on the
way.  When you've done well, go outside and SAVE THE GAME, so you don't
lose the progress you've made.  Then go back in, and do it again.  Take
advantage of the better armor and weapons you can get inside the castle.

After a while, your characters will have gotten to level three or four or
so, and you'll be ready to go on to the outside world.  Remember two things:
first, the supplies in the castles are "restocked" every time you go out
and back in again, and second, there are clues everywhere.  Look at everything
you can look at, read everything you can read.  There IS a goal to the game -
it's to get the eight gems from the Dragon Princes.  But it'll take you a
while to find out how to do that.  SAVE the sucker, and keep on plugging.
