Follow the instructions on the cassette tape.
The computer is your guide and will interpret all of your two word commands which should be entered as a verb plus a noun.
Examples:
| Command | Abbreviation |
|---|---|
| GO NORTH | N |
| GO SOUTH | S |
| GO EAST | E |
| GO WEST | W |
| GO UP | U |
| GO DOWN | D |
| GET | G |
| PUT | P |
| TAKE INVENTORY | I |
| LOOK | L |
In addition there are commands to pick up and drop several objects simultaneously. The GET ALL will pick up all objects in your current location (provided you can carry them all) and the PUT ALL command will do the reverse. Some items or objects will not be displayed on the screen so be sure to check the text description at each location for a listing of everything visible. It is a good idea to examine each object for clues and valuable information.
If your search for the solution to this puzzle takes longer than planned you may use the SAVE game command to save your current progress. Ue the LOAD game command at a later time to resume play.
The SCORE command provides you with the number of moves used during play. The score, load and save commands do not count as moves.
The best advice for adventure gaming is to be logical and try to think of all options. Maintaining a constant curiosity with a careful eye to detail will help you win the game in a minimum number of moves.
