 PREFACE

The world of adventure awaits you within these covers. The solutions to these adventure games were
obtained through many hours of enjoyable, often frustrating, and sometimes tedious labor. Because the
games' creators provided neither the adventure maps nor the puzzle answers, this book remains subject to
variable solutions as well as human error.
The purpose in The Book of Adventure Games is to make the games described more fun to play by
helping you to overcome frustration points-not to layout the solutions, which would lessen the
enjoyment of discovery. I have made every effort to insure the accuracy of the maps and solutions
contained in the book. In all cases, I played through the Apple II version at least twice to verify the specific
solutions and their correct syntax. Spot checks on game versions for other microcomputers augment
vendor statements that the versions for other microcoputers indeed match the Apple II version.
Nevertheless, because of the involved nature of many of these games and the possibility of minor
variations between versions for different machines, neither the author nor the publisher can assume
responsibility for the infalliblity of these maps and solutions. While a solution as presented has solved a
game, alternative approaches may open a new location (although that room would have no bearing on the
ultimate solution). Similarly, I made no attempt to detail the many nuances and alternate computer
responses that make these games so much fun to play. To do so would require several volumes and
materially detract from the enjoyment inherent in these games. Enjoyment, after all, is the real name of the
game.

 INTRODUCTION
"You are standing at the end of a road before a small brick building." So begins what has perhaps
caused a revolution in the home computer field-the adventure game!
In its simplest form, an adventure game is one in which the computer provides an alter ego for you,
the game player. You can sit back and fantasize about danger and deeds of great daring while the alter
ego takes the risks and the bruising beatings. The challenge usually involves solving many puzzles in
pursuit of the final reward.
The popularity of adventure games stems largely from their providing each player with something a
little different. Some enjoy the pure escapism from dirty realities. Others are drawn by the mental
challenge and stimulation attendant upon their play. Some simply take pleasure in overcoming a
particular hurdle, while others enjoy the mapping of a game and finding a logical presentation for the
map-quite often no mean feat. The search for surprises and a little humor in unexpected places make
up another key factor, as do the side issues and involvement within a game.
Unfortunately, beginning adventurers may throw in the towel on their first game, due perhaps to a
frustrating puzzle, poor vocabulary in the game, or having chosen too difficult a game to start on.
Others may find that they can't seem to start "thinking" like the game's author, but are intrigued by what
they see. Still others wonder what all the hullaballoo is about. This book is intended for all of these
players, as well as for adventurers of all skill levels looking for that specific answer to speed them on
their way to finding the surprise, humor, challenge, and delight in these games.
Puzzles present situations in which you have to figure out what action you need to take in order to
proceed to the next part of the game. You may have to choose a direction, manipulate some object on
the screen, or even figure out how to slay a dragon! You will need to determine which objects-
treasures, devices, etc-you should acquire and carry with you, and which to leave behind or store until
later, a process commonly referred to as "inventory management." Maps show the layout of the game;
they should give a plan view of all the game's locations. Sometimes you will encounter a maze, where
many identical or nearly identical locations seem to exist.
You will discov~r that when trying to solve a puzzle you sometimes use words rejected by the game
because the vocabulary of every game is unique and often limited. You will also learn the syntax, or
command parser, acceptable to each game. You may have to type in two-word only commands or
commands which require that you type a verb first and then a noun: e.g., GET CHEST. In general, the
more synonyms allowed and the more flexible the command parser, the better the game. The
popularity of an adventure game increases in proportion to its sophistication.

- .. - -------------------~
 CATEGORIES OF ADVENTURES
Adventure games may be broadly separated into two categories, puzzle adventures and fantasy
adventures. Either may be further divided into all-text adventures or games making use of the computer's
high resolution (Hi-Res) graphics capabilities. The obvious visual difference between the two lies in the
display, either a neatly formatted text page, or a display dominated by a graphics scene with but a few
words of text.
Of the major categories, puzzle games emphasize logical solutions and demand mental agility, ranging
from pure guesswork to inductive and deductive reasoning. They usually present a mission or objective,
be it rescuing the fair maiden, ridding the kingdom of an evil force or creature, or recovering a long lost
treasure. Quite often, the objective doesn't become clear until well into the game. You encounter obstacles
to progress in the form of puzzles which you must resolve before you can realize the objective. You must
find and use a multitude of objects in various locations or use them on other objects to achieve a desired
result. The games can often, therefore, become the source of considerable frustration when the proper
answer eludes you. Some of the pleasure of these games derives from succeeding after repeated failure.
Fantasies, on the other hand, generally have a clearly defined objective at the outset, fewer or much
simpler puzzles, and usually trade off frustration against sheer determination. Fantasy games generally
are less "real." The player often assumes the identity of a character, such as an Elf, Gnome, or Dwarf,
which may further break down to Fighter, Wizard, Mage, or Priest, to name but a few. Fantasies
invariably require a multitude of battles with various and sundry monsters. Here, frustration can arise, as
initially your fledgling character may have trouble surviving long in the world of beasties. To survive,
your character must defeat enough innocent monsters to gain experience and gold, the elements necessary
to build him or her to a state of near invincibility where he or she functions efficiently and can attain the
ultimate goal.

HISTORY OF ADVENTURES
Once upon a time (isn't that the way all good literature starts?), when 16K computers were still the size
of a house, there were adventure games. Even in the 1960s, large and complex games such as Life and the
original Adventure appeared on these mainframes long before the advent of home computers. The
people using these computers employed their imaginations during their spare time searching for new
ways to play with a new "toy."
Thus, adventures evolved essentially parallel to the computers themselves. But when the home compu-
ter first came out, the games initially available were fantasies. Super Dungeon and Dungeon Campaign,
for example, required your carefully tailored alter ego to march around in a multi-level dungeon seeking
various treasures, and encountering and whomping monsters before they whomped you. One of these,
Beneath Apple Manor, published in 1979, became one of the first fantasy classics.
Early adventure history was made when the first of Scott Adams' all-text adventures appeared in late
1979 and the early 1980s. Initially available only on cassette, these relatively compact games consisted of
some thirty-five or so rooms, and were among the first programs written in Assembly language. This
speeds a game considerably, which adds immeasurably to its continuity and playability. As programming
sophistication increased, these popular games were transformed into Hi-Res versions; but in the case of
puzzle games, whether or not this is a true upgrading still sparks debate.
At about the same time, in early 1980, Adventure (sometimes referred to as the Colossal Cave), which
begins "You are standing at the end of a road," was translated into BASIC language for the Apple
computer. This was a major accomplishment considering the size and complexity of the programs being
mashed into Applesoft. At least five different companies have put out a version of this game, including
faster playing Assembly language versions. Although nearly identical, Microsoft's version adds an inter-
esting twist with an additional room, the "Software Den," and a two scenario save-game capability.

2
 Roberta Williams "took a small step for man and a large step for adventurers" with the release of the first
Hi-Res adventure, Mystery House, late in 1981. Colorful pictures replaced much of the text, leaving only a
few necessary words in the bottom four lines of the screen display. Some soothsayers stated that this game
would sound the death knell of the all-text games, and indeed such graphics games have become
immensely popular. However, as to ending the reign of all-text games, such predictions were consider-
ably premature.
Many players prefer a good all-text game to even the best Hi-Res game. They like the imagination
required to visualize the surroundings and elements of the puzzles. Often an image appears in your mind's
eye that no on-screen graphic can match for vividness and pleasure. Some all-text games provide screens
of text that rival real literature in terms of their use of allegories and descriptions, even purple prose which
can boggle the imagination. On the other hand, if you simply read that you are in a cave-pocked hillside,
would you immediately respond "Go Cave" as you would if you saw some caves staring you in the face?
Infocom has perhaps done the most to keep the all-text adventures alive and thriving with two
significant breakthroughs. The command parser originally developed for Zork, which was released in
1981 on the Apple (another game originally written on a large computer and subsequently converted),
permits the use of conversational English. You can enter complex commands (complete with adjectives
and adverbs) rather than two-word-only commands such as "Go Cave." Tables of equivalencies and
synonyms added tremendously to the playability of these games, removing much of the unnecessary
"puzzle" of having to guess the exact word to use in order to accomplish a specific task.
Deadline, published in 1982, provided the second breakthrough by permitting the independent actions
of characters within the game; you could interrupt the actions of characters to ask questions and to alter
their future course of action. This game also used a feature first seen in Scott Adams' The Count: objects
and descriptions of locations could change as the days or hours progressed, with new objects appearing in
old locations. Since then, independence of action and change over "time" have evolved even further. In
Labyrinth of Crete, the two alter ego characters, Jason and Hercules, can receive separate commands and
behave cooperatively. The same holds true for the six independent robots of Suspended, another Infocom
game. Anyone of the characters, once given a command, will dutifully carry it out in the background,
reporting back to you upon the completion of its assignment while you manipulate other robots in the
foreground on separate tasks.
An equally noteworthy breakthrough in fantasy games became visually apparent in Ultima, wherein
your character roams over a landscape considerably larger that the immediate area of the visible screen.
As you move "off the edge," new graphics smoothly scroll onto the screen, giving the player a feeling of
great scope and expansiveness.
As the games evolve, the distinction between the two general types blurs. For example, the fantasy
games Ultima III and Legacy of Llylgamyn (1983) both include numerous puzzles, such as riddles or
extensive searching requirements, to find objects. Nevertheless, the primary emphasis remains monster
whomping, searching, and exploration. While Hi-Res graphics have become a large part of the puzzle-
type adventure, a graphics tour de force such as Ulti11Ul or Wizardry still commands an enthusiastic
following.
Today's adventures, always searching for something new, employ a better usage of sound, animation,
Real:time response requirements, and arcade game tasks (e.g., skiing between trees in order to proceed
on to the next puzzle element). Some include major arcade game tasks between elements of a puzzle
adventure. What will appear in tomorrow's adventure is anyone's guess. Like the games themselves, the
answer lies only in the imagination of the programmer of that yet unwritten game. As the games'
sophistication increases, so too will their popularity, as these two factors are synergistically related, each
providing fuel for the other's growth.

3
 WHAT MAKES A GOOD ADVENTURE?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Just what sets a good game apart depends on each player. While my
personal favorites are the original Adventure and the Zork series, I didn't know that until I had finished
playing them. Unfortunately, you cannot tell how well you like something until you've tried it, particularly
since most adventure games are packaged with snazzy covers that have little or no bearing on the game
inside.
Regardless of which game you consider your favorite, you should consider the following types of
questions to determine the relative quality of any given game:
Are the puzzles imaginative and logical, or old hat? Are they simply souped-up guessing games?
Are there alternative approaches or more than one area to work on at a time, or must you solve one
specific puzzle before approaching the next? Such in-series-only puzzle games usually offer little inspira-
tion, only a maximum of frustration.
Is the text bright, descriptive, and well-written, or sparse and matter-of-fact, without anything to
stimulate the imagination? Elements of humor and side issues, while they may have no direct bearing on
the game, materially enhance the game and make it enjoyable.
Have you ever taken out your frustrations on the game and sworn at it or given an obscene command?
Try it, you might be pleasantly surprised-and it gives you a rather strange feeling to apologize to a
computer.
It won't take too long to find out about the command parser. Will it accept only two words or an entire
sentence of multiple commands? Do you have to use a specific word to get a response? A good game will
have good vocabulary and a reasonable number of equivalent nouns and verbs. Nothing is more
frustrating than using words like "open," "unlock," "break," "move," "lift," "shake," "twist," and "unwrap"
only to find that "use" is the only correct word.
Take a look at your map. Is it logically laid out? Do the mazes have a reason for existence, or are they
pointless? Are there too many mazes for the size and complexity of the game? Are there many pointless
one-way moves?
Does the game get you killed off unnecessarily without even a chance to defend yourself or escape?
How do you get killed? Was it clever and quick, or was it unnecessarily sick and graphically gruesome?
Did you learn from it?
Does the "save game" feature permit you to save a game at any time, or only when you quit? When you
re-enter a game, is that the only time you can use a saved game? Must you endure a long boot-up cycle to
reload the entire game just to load a saved position? Will the game support two drives, eliminating
unnecessary disk changes?
What of the game's speed? How fast does it play? Slow color fills and a lot of disk interaction detract
from the game's continuity and playability.
Does your Hi-Res game permit you to look at the last sequence of text you entered, or even to play the
game as an all-text adventure?
Finally, when you have finished the game, are you sorry it's over, or simply relieved?
Another way of getting an idea about the quality of an adventure game is to check the ratings in The
Book of Apple Software. For now, why not grab an adventure that's fun, but has been giving you
problems, and take another whack at it?

 HOW TO TACKLE AN ADVENTURE GAME

Each game has its own flavor and idiosyncrasies. To be successful, the player must try to think the way
the author did when writing the game. When starting a game for the first time, try beating around it for a
while, without even trying to map it or solve any puzzles. Simply try to get the feeling of the game. Pick up
anything you can, and try to do something-anything-to or with it. Next, start over and map as much of it
as you can, without trying to solve anything. Don't even "touch" anything just now-be patient. Annotate
your map with the objects you find and any clues, like signs that you can read or things you shouldn't do
(for example, try not to get killed the same way twice).
At this point, you're finally ready to play the game for real. Look at your map, as much of it as you have
so far. What can be pieced together? Where did you get blocked or clobbered, and why? Use what you've
got and try to develop something, anything. Many times, the initial puzzle isn't too tough (Savage Island
Part II being an exception). As soon as you make a breakthrough, save the game and push your map
forward, if possible. Try to anticipate where the puzzles occur and what you might need to solve them,
then go look for those items.

Mapping the Game

Mapping a game is a necessary element in adventure play. Mapping refers to making a road map to tell
where you are, where you've been, and how to get back to a given location. More importantly, you should
annotate the map with what you find, how it's used (once you find out), and, later, the key words to the
solution of the puzzle at any given point. One of the best games for beginners is Birth of the Phoenix,
which includes one of the best tutorial manuals on mapping and a beginner's approach to adventures. The
game itself, as you'd suspect, isn't difficult; but it contains examples of all the aspects common to most
adventure games.
Start your map with a rectangle to represent the location at which you first find yourself. Methodically
go North, then back (hopefully) South, drawing as you go. Bear in mind that leaving a room to the North
does not mean that you necessarily enter the next room from the South. Concentrate on "finishing" all
possible directions for that initial location. Remember that some games have ten possible directions out of
any location: the four cardinal headings; NE, NW, SE, SW; and up and down. Some games tell you
possible exits-just don't always believe them; draw in a short straight line to mark those directions.
Develop your own shorthand. If you can't go in a particular direction, put an "x" there; if you can't
return to the start by reversing direction, put a one-way arrow on the last line. You can simplify the map
later when and if you find two lines with arrows between two locations. Should a scene seem repetitious,
make sure that you are not in a loop. Drop an object and keep going. If you come across the object again,
obviously you've looped back.
If you find yourself in a maze, be it an open ocean, underground, or a field, use the same technique as
you did to find "loops." Develop your maze on a separate sheet of paper. Drop an object and name your
present location (the rectangle) with the name of the object. Move somewhere, drop another object, and
name that location with the name of the newly dropped object. Draw an arrow from the first object in the
direction that you moved and name it as the second object. Continue moving and dropping objects, and
soon you'll find yourself in familiar locations.
When you've finished, you'll have a number of rectangles equal to the number of locations in the maze,
plus arrows pointing from one location to another, showing directions. You can redraw the maze now,
using the named locations as the basis for your map.
Some mazes are tougher to map. Creatures may come along and pick up what you've dropped, or your
object may sink into the mud and disappear forever. Some mazes (like the ones in The Mask of the Sun)
don't show your object (even though it's really there) unless you "LOOK." Other mazes have a lot of
one-way trips; that is, once you reach a second location, you cannot to return to the first one.

5
 Inventory Management
In many games, inventory management proves a problem. You may find more objects to carry than you
can handle at anyone time. Occasionally, you can obtain minor relief by putting smaller objects into larger
ones. The problem may be compounded by the multiplicity of objects often encountered early in the
game, before you have determined their relative uses. A second complication arises because some objects
have several uses in widely separated locations. You have to figure out what to carry, where, and when.
Two suggestions for inventory managment are: first, avoid picking up treasures until you are heading
back to the storage area. Take them back in bunches. In some games, such as Kabul Spy, treasures are
secondary to the real object of the game (but do add to the score); they are seemingly there primarily to
reduce your ability to carry objects you really need.
Second, establish a centrally located despository, sort of a temporary treasure storage area. Don't leave
objects lying all over the place, as you may have a miserable time finding them again. As the game
develops and you probe deeper, bring your objects closer to your "working area" and establish a new
temporary depository.
Be patient, you may be only a few keystrokes away from success. When you really get stuck, marshal all
your objects and forces at that point, and dig in. Keep a dictionary and thesaurus near at hand. Quite often,
having two people tackle one game will produce faster results. What one misses may be intuitively
obvious to the other. When all else fails, look in The Book of Adventure Games.

USING THIS BOOK

This book contains the maps for over seventy of the most popular electronic adventure games. The
purpose of the book is to make these adventures more enjoyable and less frustrating, but not less
challenging. Thus, even though explicit solutions to the games appear in the back of the book, please don't
take the coward's way out. Looking up the answers before you try to solve the game on your own could
ruin the game for you.
Use the maps as you play, and if you really get stuck, look for a number by that location. In the back of
the book you can find corresponding numbers with solutions for that particular problem. Use these
solutions only when you have been stumped for some time. This book is designed to help you find just the
hint you need to keep playing, without giving away the whole game.
Don't worry if the maps show locations that you have not yet found. You may have to solve certain
puzzles to uncover particular locations. These objects may not be visible or accessible on your initial visit
to the location.
This book won't tell you ever thing. The maps don't specify, for example, when or if you should take an
object. They don't help you with inventory management. You will have to read the signs and plaques,
examine and consider the objects and locations, and, most importantly, use your imagination. These side
issues provide much of the fun of the game.

 ADVENTURE
Company: Several
Suggested Retail: $29.95
Type: The original all-text adventure-a classic.
Description:
The first message in Adventure consists of the words known to all adventurers: "You are standing at the
end of a road before a small brick building." The last message describes your being borne off on the
shoulders of elves. Between those two lie 130 rooms, fifteen treasures, some forty objects, and a variety of
cave inhabitants for you to deal with and outsmart.
Playability:
If this is your first adventure, you've picked the one that hooked me! The story flows well, and the text
reads like a novel in its expansiveness and descriptions. Most versions are disk interactive and a little slow,
except for the Scott Adams version in Assembly language. The Microsoft version, perhaps the most
faithful, has two saved-game positions and adds a room, the Software Den, with its own special twist.

 ADVENTURELAND
Company: Adventure International
Suggested Retail: $39.95
Type: Originally an all-text game, recently re-released in Hi-Res form.
Description:
This game has the distinction of being the first of the good puzzle games. Thirteen treasures lie above
and below ground in this adventure. Some treasures just lie around for the taking, but others will take a bit
of head scratching before you finally glom onto them. In the process, you have to contend with Bees,
Bears, Lava, Insects and a Sleeping Dragon.
Playability:
Overall, the puzzles are not too difficult, and the game provides a good introduction to the tougher
games in the Adams series. The two-word syntax has a limited but adequate vocabulary. The text is brief
and to the point. The game offers a single, easily made or recalled saved-game.

 ADVENTURE IN TIME
Company: Phoenix Software
Suggested Retail: $29.95
Type: An all-text adventure.
Description:
You must locate the bad guy, Nostradamus, who lurks somewhere in time, and kill him before he can
assemble the ultimate weapon and destroy the world. You may travel to four different locations in time
and to an interesting lab which even has its own computer. A friendly robot helps you out.
Playability:
This game's traps and puzzles will keep an experienced player busy for several hours. Although rated
for experienced players, it is by no means too difficult for beginners. The crisp, quick response,
tongue-in-cheek style, and save option further add to the game's appeal.

 ALI-BABA AND THE 40 THIEVES

Company: Quality Software

Suggested Retail: $32.95
Type: Originally the all-text game called Fracus, this fantasy has colorful Hi-Res graphics and sound and
has undergone extensive modification.
Description:
This light-hearted combat game takes place in a medieval setting. You beat up monsters, find treasure
to buy more effective weapons and armor, and ultimately rescue the Princess Buddir. You face an endless
procession of assault-minded thieves and assorted monsters. However, you do have a host of allies on your
side, and sometimes the indiscriminate baddies even clobber each other. You can just sit back and watch,
and often listen to lots of music.
Playability:
No single solution to this fantasy adventure exists, so none is provided beyond the map. One or more
players can play with paddles or keyboard. I suggest annotating your map as a means of keeping tabs on
the many hidden doors, chutes, and strange goings-on.

 BENEATH APPLE MANOR
Company: Quality Software
Suggested Retail: $29.95
Type: Originally a Lo-Res game, recently re-released in Hi-Res form.
Description:
In Beneath Apple Manor, a classic fantasy game, you try to find a Golden Apple hidden deep within a
multi-leveled, maze-like basement. You need no hints or clues to solve this game, only a bit of patience.
Different types of monsters abound, and the deeper you go the tougher they become. Magic items found
on most levels may help you in the quest.
Playability:
The new version provides a Hi-Res display of up to five rooms, while a pleasantly familiar Lo-Res (text
page) display of the original version is available for games of up to ten rooms and at any of the ten degrees
of difficulty. Elements of strategy enhance the game, but no puzzles impede your progress. No single
solution exists, so none is provided. Because the maze of each room is random, only a typical floor map,
dumped from the screen, appears.

22
 BIRTH OF THE PHOENIX
Company: Phoenix Software
Suggested Retail: $14.95
Type: An all-text adventure (tutorial for adventurers).
Description:
I could have written a solution to this, but didn't-it's not difficult, and brings you along carefully. You
must uncover three treasures and complete a special task as part of this game. Other features common to
big time adventures are a magic word, a maze, and a relatively interactive puzzle.
Playability:
A tutorial adventure for the beginner, enjoyable and worthwhile for first-time adventurers. The
excellent documentation clearly describe game elements in detail, and encompasses clues to a variety of
specific adventure games.

 BLADE OF BLACKPOOLE
Company: Sirius
Suggested Retail: $39.95
Type: Hi-Res adventure with color graphics and Hi-Res text.
Description:
You have to find and return the Sword of Myraglym. Standing between you and success are talking
plants and idols, several riddles, a booze-happy monster, a tough-hided lizard, and a variety of ways for
you to come to a premature end. Secondarily, you gain 500 points for solving the puzzles; the last point is
sorta tough.
Playability:
While the Blade of Blackpoole contains no adventuring breakthroughs, it offers pleasant enough
story line and graphics. Inventory management does present some challenge, since you can carry only six
of the twenty-three objects at one time. Some objects have multiple uses, but the sequence of managing
them becomes more difficult because you cannot readily return to certain locations. The overall difficulty
leans slightly to the tough side, ideal for average adventurers.

 THE BLADE OF THE BLACKPOOLE

~
 CASTLE OF DARKNESS

Company: The Logical Choice

Suggested Retail: $34.95
Type: Hi-Res adventure with color graphics and animation.
Description:
To overcome the might of the evil wizard, Grimnacht, you must discover the power behind his curse.
You explore the many rooms of two castles, some with treasures, others with monsters or clues, and many
with nothing at all. When you get through them all, you will have gained 200 points and had the dubious
pleasure of watching your animated character march slowly all through the palaces.
Playability:
The game offers a degree of animation and occasional spoken words, but some of the graphics leave a
lot to be desired, particularly small and difficult to differentiate objects. Travel from location to location is
on the slow side. Also, the limited vocabulary often makes progress frustratingly slow.

Company: Avant-Garde Creations
Suggested Retail: $15.95
Type: All-text adventure.
Description:
Thirteen treasures await you in the underground cavern, the majority guarded by an unsavory critter
which you must kill to gain reward. Three minor puzzles offer some challenge.
Playability:
The game is easily mapped, offers little reason to playa second time, and contains no unique twists. On
the other hand, it's easy to play, doesn't bomb, isn't devious, and well suits young adventurers. Not
recommended for intermediate to advanced players.

 THE COUNT
Company: Adventure International
Suggested Retail: $39.95
Type: An all-text game, scheduled for release in Hi-Res form. Price includes Voodoo Castle and Strange
Odyssey.
Description:
While this game has relatively few locations, a new element-time-has been introduced. You must
properly time-phase your activities over three days and nights in order to find and kill Count Dracula. If
you don't fix his wagon in three days, you won't be around for the fourth. Natch, there are bats, garlic,
blood, Transylanian cigarettes and some No-Doze pills to help you keep awake at night.
Playablilty:
Slightly less complex perhaps than some of the other Scott Adams' games, but unique in that "things
change" between night and day, and between successive days. The two-word syntax has a limited but
adequate vocabularly. As with all of the Adams games, the text is brief and to the point. The game offers a
single, easily made or recalled saved-game.

 THE COVETED MIRROR

Company: Penguin Software

Suggested Retail: $19.95
Type: Hi-Res adventure with color graphics.
Description:
To break the evil rule of King Voar, you must find the fifth piece of a magic mirror. To do so, you must
know the shapes of the other four pieces, solve a number of related puzzles, and play three simple arcade
games. Periodically, the King yanks you back if the Jailer finds you missing, but the Jailer lets you roam if
you bribe him.
Playability:
"Talking" characters will help you order and solve the frequent but not overly difficult puzzles. The
characters often give novel responses should you give them objects not intended for them. A light-hearted
game with nice graphics and a degree of animation, but a rather slow fill time. The vocabulary is nicely
tailored to the game. You get seven saved-game positions, which you should use frequently-especially in
the maze. Suitable for all levels of gaming ability.

 CRANSTON MANOR

Company: Sierra On-Line Systems

Suggested Retail: $34.95
Type: Hi-Res adventure with color graphics.
Description:
You must recover sixteen treasures from the multi-roomed Manor so that the town can be restored to its
former glory. Cranston Manor itself is all indoors-upstairs, downstairs, and basement-with a Suit of
Armor chasing you in the house and a dangerous Toy Soldier after you in the basement. The conclusion
extends congratulations and designates you a Class 3 Adventurer!
Playability:
The game provides a few sticky puzzles and several interesting interconnections, but the inability to
restore or restart the game after getting killed off is a serious problem! Despite the relatively large size of
this game, it seems to lack the imagination and freshness which marked The Wizard and the Princess.

 CREATURE VENTURE
Company: Highland Computer Services
Suggested Retail: $24.95
Type: Black and white Hi-Res adventure.
Description:
You eI)ter and explore a mansion which you have inherited, deal with its inhabitants, and find the
treasure, which is in two parts. Once you find the first part of the treasure, you enter a Master's Game,
made more difficult because it no longer allows you the save-game feature and essentially limits the
number of moves available to you.
Playability:
A few interesting animation sequences and challenging portions. Adult adventurers may become bored
quickly because of the limited vocabulary, but kids will find this game, written somewhat tongue-in-
cheek, rather interesting.

 CRYPT OF MEDEA

Company: Sir-Tech Software, Inc.

Suggested Retail: $34.95
Type: Hi-Res adventure with color graphics.
Description:
A humorless and gruesome game, full of blood, gore, and little else. You find yourself in an under-
ground mausoleum; your mission is simply to escape. Decapitated corpses, flea-infested dogs (dead,
naturally), vats full of body pieces, and mutants stand in your way. I can't say much good about this game,
either from the standpoint of its design or implementation.
Playability:
This game does not suit children because of its unnecessary use of violence and horror. The graphics
and text are rather insipid. Nonetheless, the difficulty factor is relatively high, partly because of the
atrocious vocabulary and partly because of the lack of logic associated with the puzzles.

You become Apple Caverns Estate Land-

enhance this game. Also, you must find many

Playability:
You have to work hard at getting killed, a
welcome change in adventures; but if you
insist, try jumping up and down on the rick-

positions to the program disk. Three are just
about right for this game, which is, all in all,
rather interesting.

 CURSE OF CROWLEY MANOR
Company: Adventure International
Suggested Retail: $29.95
Type: Hi-Res mystery with color graphics.
Description:
As Inspector Black, you start in your Scotland Yard office (which you cannot leave until the phone
rings). An officer (later found gruesomely mutilated) summons you to Crowley Manor to investigate the
murder of Lord Crowley. The balance of the game proves equally gruesome, but the ending is interesting
and well done.
Playability:
You will find it all too easy to get stuck at one location in this guessing game, looking for the right word
combination in a full sentence command. Quite often, otherwise insurmountable obstacles simply
disappear if you happen to be carrying the proper object, so be sure to look everywhere.

 DARK CRYSTAL
Company: Sierra On-Line Systems
Suggested Retail: $39.95
Type: Hi-Res fantasy adventure, the sixth in the Roberta Williams series, with color graphics.
Description:
Jen, our Gelfling hero, is your alter ego. You control his actions in his quest to find and replace the
missing shard of the Great Crystal, a deed which must take place at the instant of the triple conjunction of
the Three Suns. The great prophecy states that only a Gelfling can accomplish this task, and Jen is one of
only two who escaped the slaughter of his race by the evil Skeksis. Failure means that the Skeksis and their
robot-like killers, the Garthim, will control the world forever. Success means both the end of their rule and
a return to peaceful harmony in the world of the GeHling and Pod people. If Jen succeeds, he will live
happily ever after with Kira, the female GeHling, who appears haHway through the game.
Playability:
The game is based on and faithful to the movie of the same name, but having seen the movie is neither a
help nor a hindrance when playing the game. The graphics, although having large expanses of white, are
beautifully detailed. Lighthearted and fun to play, the game anticipates your actions and commands. Easy
enough for beginners and captivating enough for more experienced players.

 DEADLINE
Company: Infocom, Inc.
Suggested Retail: $49.95
Type: The first of a series of all-text mystery adventures.
Description:
You, the Detective, are called upon to investigate the apparent suicide of a wealthy and philanthropic
industrialist. You encounter no monsters or wizards, just seven characters you can talk to, question, or
watch as they move about independently. You ha~e twelve hours to unravel the mystery and arrest one or
more of the four principal suspects. You will have to prove motive, opportunity, and means. There are
twenty-five possible endings, ranging from dismissal by the Grand Jury to conviction by the Trial Jury.
Some endings come with shocking suddenness; others give you clues for your next attempt at solving the
mystery.
Playability:
Totally engrossing. You feel as if pulled directly through the CRT and right into the mansion with the
suspects. While the game offers a moqerate difficulty level and number of puzzles, the convoluted
puzzles demand interaction and one of them proves quite tough. This game requires considerably more
deductive logic than adventures usually call for.

 DEA TH IN THE CARIBBEAN
Company: Micro Lab
Suggested Retail: $35.00
Type: Hi-Res adventure with color graphics.
Description:
You find yourself on an enchanting but dangerous Caribbean island, divided by a fast flowing river.
You've come in search of buried treasure. Yes, it's here, but it will take a bit of doing as well as digging to
get it. The graphics are very well done, sharply detailed and quick to fill. The puzzles offer moderate
difficulty; some-in a sense-involve a play on words.
Playability:
A good, solid adventure. A little thin on the story-line and text, but nevertheless challenging. Playability
would improve greatly if the game supported dual disk drives; as it stands, with two program sides you
quite often find yourself flipping disks like hot cakesl The two-word parser has a limited vocabulary.
Fortunately, the negatives are well balanced by some of the best red-herring puzzles yet encountered,
some helpful magic, and a little cryptology.

ending relates to the title, but not to the
Varga-like cover jacket. There are lots of
objects with which to contend, and not too
many characters. The puzzles largely belong
to the find it, use it, and leave it type.
Playability:
All in all, an average adventure game,
with pleasant and interesting puzzles.
Inventory management becomes a pro-
blem because you tend to accumulate
objects faster than you can figure out
how to use them. Hints fall few and far
between, and the vocabulary forces you
to play guessing games with synonyms
to get the desired results. At least you
don't get killed too often, but beware
the Rabbit.

 DOOM VALLEY
Company: Superior Software, Inc.
Suggested Retail: $19.95
Type: All-text adventure.
Description:
While vacationing at a ski lodge, you hear that a planeload of UN ambassadors has crashed nearby and
can't be found. You later find that, for unknown reasons, equally unknown parties have chained these
worthies in a medieval castle located in a steamy jungle populated by lions, tigers, and mambas who pay
no attention to you. You win when you return the ambassadors to the ski lodge.
Playability:
So-so at best. Most of the game locations have no bearing on the game. You can win the game in less than
four minutes once you know what it requires. The two-word parser demands specific two-word
responses, usually self-evident. No real challenge, even to a beginner.

 EARTHQUAKE-SAN FRANCISCO, 1906
Company: Adventure International
Suggested Retail: $39.95
Type: Hi-Res adventure using color graphics.
Description:
A note for you in your San Francisco hotel tells you to deliver a ransom (conveniently on the dresser) to a
specific hotel or you'll never see your wife again. This simple task is suddenly complicated by your room
collapsing around your ears, chaos in the streets, fallen buildings, trigger-happy and not-too-honest
soldiers, the need to become a hero, paddling around Oakland Bay, and getting piddled on by a small dog.
Playability:
A lot of backtracking takes place because things at earlier locations change when you meet conditions
set later in the game. Some mildly interactive puzzles, but for the most part you must solve them in
sequence, which slows down the game. The speed of the game, vocabulary, parser, and text all leave a lot
to be desired, but attractive graphics, several intriquing puzzles, and an interesting storyline make the
game worthwhile.

Short Passage Type: An all-text adventure of th e same genre
as its predecessor, Lords 0 f Karma.

Description:
You must find and destroy the Overmind (a golden sphere) to win the love of the enchanted Princess
whom you meet while trying to cope with the game's sundry critters and traps. The game abounds with
many objects, a helpful dwarf, and some useful magical items. It's a toughie.
Playability:
Engagingly difficult but agonizingly slow, especially for an Assembly language program. The docu-
mentation gives the history and game objective in verse, but does not describe how to save or restore a
game. You should read it carefully. Unfortunately, you cannot solve the game without the save and
restore. Try Reset: Call-15I: BSA VE (filename), A$8000, L$lOOO. To restore, use Reset: Blond (filename):
Call-151: 800 C. Despite its obvious weaknesses, it's a very tough and challenging game.

 ENCHANTER
Company: Infocom Inc.
Suggested Retail: $49.95
Type: An all-text adventure.
Description:
Zork lives, embodied here in the descriptions and puzzles accorded to you as the neophyte wizard, .
charged by your wizened mentor, Belboz, to seek and destroy the great evil wizard, Krill. Only an
innocent fledgling can hope to succeed in this quest due to Krill's precognitive powers. It's tough to find
some of the thirteen scrolls you'll need to achieve this goal. Find out what it's like to get sacrificed, and talk
with frogs, turtles, and a shaggy adventurer.
Playability:
The game plays easily and smoothly and employs the excellent parser, vocabulary, and two-drive
save-game capability that mark Infocom games. Lots of fun to play, with well anticipated wise remarks
made to many inputs.

 ESCAPE FROM RUNGIST AN
Company: Sirius Software, Inc.
Suggested Retail: $29.95
Type: A black and white Hi-Res adventure that includes some arcade-like action.
Description:
You must escape from your prison cell and cross the border of dictator-ruled Rungistan into the safety
of Nuggyland. Natch, you are pursued by the Rungistanees, who must see to it that you are shot in the
morning-or they get scheduled to lose their own hides.
Playability:
An average adventure in all regards, with much lacking in many regards. One nice feature: the screen fill
takes place crisply and quickly. Often, you get one shot at the correct answer before bad things happen to
you! Generally, you must solve puzzles in order before you can go on to the next location, which slows the
game. The arcade section challenges you to ski between seven or so sets of rapidly approaching trees.
Prior to saying "Geronimo," use the single save-game feature back to the program disk.

 ESCAPE FROM TRAAM

Company: Adventure International

Suggested Retail: $34.95
Type: Hi-Res adventure with color graphics.
Description:
Your spaceship crashes into the planet of Traam, but somehow you survive. Armed with only your wits,
you must find the means to escape this desolate land. Enroute to finding another spaceship in which to
return to your mothership, you encounter an alien warrior, a friendly little creature, some Traam slaves,
and troops of ferocious Traams. You must become something of a linguist to understand some of what you
see or hear.
Playability:
This game shares the shortcomings of Earthquake-San Francisco, 1906, but has few of its virtues. The
puzzles are semi-logical in spots, and seem disjointed and rather unrelated, although for the most part they
occur in sequence. You can make a single saved-game position to the program disk; a few more saves
would help.

 F ANTASYLAND, 2041 AD

Company: Crystal Software

Suggested Retail: $49.95
Type: Hi-Res fantasy adventure.
Description:
This game requires no solution, nor has one been provided. Your task, easy enough to say, proves long
and difficult to do-simply find Guinevere or Lancelot. Trek through the six disk -sides and the game's six
different lands, acquiring the men, material, supplies and magical items that you need. Other than finding
out which objects to use on what, you face no real puzzles in this bit of escapism. However, the concept of
the game is well done, with nice shape-tabled graphics interspersed with attractive Hi-Res displays.
Playability:
Nice ideas, led astray by absolutely horrid implementation. Sad to say, this game abounds with bugs,
many of them fatal programming errors. The biggest puzzle, it seems, is to find which events and
sequences you should stay away from. While repetitious, it's sort of fun; too bad it's loaded with syntax
errors and fundamental programming errors.

 G.F.S. SORCERESS
Company: Avalon Hill
Suggested Retail: $35.00
Type: An all-text science fiction adventure game.
Description:
The first in the continuing saga of Joe Justin and Selena Sakarov aboard the spaceship C.F.S. Sorceress.
This time, they meet in outer space, where Justin has been set adrift in a "regenerating" spacesuit after a
trumped-up court martial, to drift alone for the rest of his days. You must make appropriate repairs to the
ship before using it to prove Justin's innocence by finding the Red and Black Books on interstellar law.
Playability:
A good story that keeps you glued to the machine to see how everything comes out. However, the game
plays painfully slowly and becomes very repetitive in some sequences. Use of the robot involves a rather
neat puzzle toward the end of the game.

House and Pyramid of Doom.
Description:
The locale is an Old West town, complete with saloon, hotel, telegraph stations, a jail, Boot Hill, an

 GOLDEN VOYAGE
Company: Adventure International
Suggested Retail: $39.95
Type: An all-text game, scheduled for revision into a Hi-Res version. Price also includes Savage Island,
Parts I and II.
Description:
You have three days to find the potion from the fountain of youth required to restore the aged King. To
help you accomplish this mission, you receive enough gold to buy various supplies and the snazzy sailing
ship needed to shuttle between the three different islands that make up this game. All three islands seem to
contain fountains and some magical stones with which you must contend. Then, if you're lucky or clever
enough, you get to meet Cyclops!
Playability:
Although the twelfth and last of the original Scott Adams adventures, this isn't one of the harder ones.
The degree of difficulty does pick up a bit at the end. The story line is above average, but the relatively
slow and jerky nature of the screen display updates indicates that the basic program shell used for these
games has just about reached its limits. The two-word syntax has a limited but adequate vocabulary. The
text is brief and to the point. The game permits a single easily made or recalled saved-game.

 CRUDS IN SPACE
Company: Sirius Software, Inc.
Suggested Retail: $39.95
Type: A Hi-Res adventure with color graphics, animation and Hi-Res text.
Description:
Whimsy and fast moving graphics mark this game in which you, the skipper of a space freighter, head
for Saturn to pick up a load of fuel for urgent delivery to Pluto. Along the way, you make several side trips
to Venus and Titan and encounter a couple of alien space ships as well as some friendly characters and a
couple of creeps. The sound effects aren't bad, either.
Playability:
A rather tough game, partly because of the horrid vocabulary and partly because you only get one move
to guess right before horrible things happen. Kids will thoroughly enjoy the comic-strip like characters,
but may need a lot of help from dad, who will probably also have a tough time in spots. Be sure to make
frequent use of the well-implemented save-game capability.

 INFIDEL
Company: Infocom, Inc.
Suggested Retail: $49.95
Type: All-text adventure.
Description:
Despite the old theme, you'll find lots of new twists and tough puzzles in this game. You are a
not-too-bright archaeologist (in this case, a polite term for grave robber) bent on finding the vast treasures
of an Egyptian Queen's pyramid, rumored to lie not far from your camp in the otherwise endless sand.
Before it's over, you'd better get a lot smarter if you hope to cope with the devilish traps that the Queen has
set for you. Well written, with very interactive puzzles, some given away by the hieroglyphics-if you can
read them!
Playability:
Thoroughly enjoyable and fun to play, using the excellent parser, vocabulary and save-game capability
now so familiar to Infocom game lovers. You'd better stay alert toward the end of this game if you hope to
arrive at the rather unusual ending.

Type: A Hi-Res adventure with color graphics. Railroad Ticket
Terminal Counter
Description:
Agent 007 comes to the home computer-or is this a treasure hunting fantasy,
complete with magic words? Maybe a bit of both, but the emphasis lies on your
mission to Afghanistan, where you must find and escape with (or at least silence) a
professor held prisoner there. You thread an interesting mine field maze, where it's o
one false step and Boom! The graphics are excellent and the game moves quickly, if Cell
Old Man Small
you can figure out the rather tough puzzles of the latter phases. Guard Airport

Playability: Start

A two-sided game with a save capability made to a scratch disk make this game a Sucked
into
real disk flipping nightmare. A better implementation of the save-game feature Jet
would have done wonders to improve its playability. Some of the difficulty has to do
with the plethora of objects which you encounter, and the game's absolutely terrible
vocabulary.

 KNIGHT OF DIAMONDS
Company: Sir-Tech Software, Inc.
Suggested Retail: $34.95
Type: Hi-Res fantasy adventure, a mapmaker's delight.
Description:
The second scenario in the already classic Wizardry series. You must find and return the Staff of Gnilda
to the City of Llylgamyn. To get started, you need developed characters from the Proving Grounds,
whom you transfer to the new scenario. In the dungeon you will meet with the No-See-Ums before too
long. Worse than these pests are some of the evil creatures that love to take all but one hit point away from
your favorite characters.
Playability:
No specific way of solving Knight of Diamonds exists, so don't look in the book for one. Map carefully,
grow in strength, get to the sixth level. When you're there, remember The Knight of Diamonds and Shield.
Don't tackle this one unless you are a Wizardry expert and have at least Level 13 characters. Knight of
Diamonds is the maze-type adventure at its best. You can play with one to six people (with one person
acting as the Dungeon Master at the keyboard). It will provide many interesting hours of game fantasy,
albeit somewhat repetitive.

 LABYRINTH OF CRETE
Company: Adventure International
Suggested Retail: $29.95
Type: All-text adventure.
Description:
Two independently controlled characters, Jason and Hercules, represent your alter ego. Your mission:
to recover the Golden Fleece. Doing so, you earn the respect of the inhabitants of Mount Olympus, who
grant you access to that exclusive area. You'll explore three different worlds, solve a plethora of puzzles,
and encounter most of the gods, goddesses, and creatures of Greek mythology. You don't have to know
anything about mythology, nor will you learn anything about it from the game.
Playability:
The concept of interacting characters who can combine their talents to solve a given puzzle is an
innovation in adventure games. Unfortunately, this game's implementation falls short of its conceptual
promise. You can solve the majority of puzzles simply by Giving or Dropping the right object at the right
location; you can only use most objects in the world in which you find them. The game is long and not too
difficult, but reasonably fun to play and has more puzzles than you can shake a stick at.

 LEGACY OF LLYLGAMYM
Company: Sir-Tech Software, Inc.
Suggested Retail: $39.95
Type: A Hi-Res fantasy.
Description:
Third in the Wizardry series, and another map-maker's delight with six additional levels. Evil times
have again befallen the kingdom and famed warriors, such as yourself, are called on to find the mystical
orb hidden deep within a dragon's mountain lair. The orb possesses the power to reveal the source of
danger, and therein lies the hope of the world. The graphics look better than ever, and those of the
introduction are nifty indeed. A few more puzzles appear in Llylgamyn than did before, mostly in the
form of not-too-difficult riddles.
Playability:
You need the basic Wizardry disk in order to create characters, who must then undergo the Rite of
Passage Ceremony. Then you can enjoy the fine graphics. If you've played prior games with a single
alignment, you'll need to change your thinking as both" good" and" evil" parties of characters are required
for success. There's still no way to save the game in the bowels of the dungeon.

 MAD VENTURE
Company: Micro Lab
Suggested Retail: $34.95
Type: All-text adventure.
Description:
First, get fifteen treasures to the theater lobby and visit those locations that contribute points to the
maximum of 400. Next, accomplish the above in less than 185 moves. This game contains the author's
choice of the best single puzzle in all adventuredom.
Playability:
Not recommended for beginning or intermediate puzzle-game players. Perhaps the most challenging
set of puzzles yet combined into one program, it is some three times the size of typical Scott Adams
puzzlers. The system will load a saved-game from a scratch disk. This is a super-tough, crisp game for the
puzzle nut!

 MASK OF THE SUN
Company: Ultras oft
Suggested Retail: $39.95
Type: An animated Hi-Res adventure with color graphics and Hi-Res text.
Description:
You as Mac Steele must find the legendary Mask to cure your mysterious malady, held in check only by
the pills which you must always carry. You spend much time on the road in a bouncing jeep, and even
more time in a bouncing sort of walk through drab tunnels. You must hurdle a Real-time, semi-arcade like
lava pit and correctly answer anyone out of three riddles in order to get through two locations.
Playability:
The Mask of the Sun offers several challenges not found too often in adventures. By far the most
difficult task is unraveling the mystery of the maze, actually two mazes separated by a room ready to fall
in on your ears. An average adventure, with a higher than average degree of difficulty.

 MISSION: ASTEROID
Company: Sierra On-Line Systems
Suggested Retail: $19.95
Type: A Hi-Res adventure with color graphics.
Description:
Your mission: to destroy an approaching asteroid before it collides with the planet Earth. Yes, there's a
time limit.
Playability:
The elements of the puzzles prove easy to solve individually. In fact, this game is very easy right up to
(almost) the very end. However, you have a fixed number of moves and a time limit of five minutes per
move. Saving a game requires you to use a move. Mission. Asteroid is a winner: totally straightforward
and solvable while presenting the challenge of completing it within the tough time constraint.

 MISSION IMPOSSIBLE
Company: Adventure International
Suggested Retail: $39.95
Type: Originally an all-text game, recently re-released in Hi-Res form.
Description:
You must stop the Saboteur from bombing the Nuclear Reactor. To complicate matters, you are a
walking time-bomb, and the saboteur dies before you get very far. You must enter three differently
colored rooms in a specific sequence. The ending can be a real blast.
Playability:
One of the easier games in the series, with not too difficult and quite straightforward puzzles. The game
is sort of fun while it lasts, but it doesn't last all that long. The two-word syntax has a limited but adequate
vocabulary. The text is brief and to the point. The game offers a single, easily made or recalled
saved-game.

 MUMMY'S CURSE

Company: Highland Computer Service

Suggested Retail: $30.00
Type: Hi-Res adventure with color graphics.
Description:
Find the solid gold burial mask and return it to the starting point. Doing so involves finding and using
three amulets, a little woodwork, and the waving of a scepter.
Playability:
The mummy and a few fixed traps pose little difficulty once you have mapped and understood the
game. The game holds your interest easily, largely because of the excellent save-game implementation.
The game has little in the way of plot, and the vocabulary is poor, but all in all it rates as an average
adventure suitable for beginning to intermediate players.

 MYSTERY FUN HOUSE
Company: Adventure International
Suggested Retail: $39.95
Type: An all-text game, soon to be revised into a Hi-Res version. Price also includes Pyramid of Doom and
Ghost Town.
Description:
Spies have hidden secret plans that you must retrieve from a carnival Fun House. Water Maidens,
Shooting Galleries, Carousels, Weird Windows and a slew of locked doors await you. The puzzles,
marked by a high degree of imagination, are devilishly clever.
Playability:
A lot of fun to play, challenging to unravel, difficult to bring to a successful conclusion-and my choice
for the best of Scott Adams' twelve original games. The two-word syntax has a limited but adequate
vocabulary. The text is brief and to the point. The game provides a single, easily made or recalled
saved-game.

 MYSTERY HOUSE
Company: On Line Systems
Suggested Retail: $24.95
Type: Hi-Res adventure.
Description:
Based loosely on the Agatha Christie novel, The Ten Little Indians. You have the dual task of trying to
find the treasure hidden somewhere in the house and deducing the identity of the baddy. Unfortunately,
he keeps murdering the other suspects and even tries to kill you.
Playabllity:
Not a long game. The mansion has only two stories. The vocabulary is limited and uses only a standard
two-word parser. The graphics of rooms and objects appear as black and white line drawings. You do get
a save-game option, however. All in all, it's a fun game for beginning and intermediate adventurers, and is
noteworthy as the first of the Hi-Res adventures.

 OLDORF'S REVENGE (WIZARD I)

Company: Highland Computer Services

Suggested Retail: $19.95
Type: Black and white Hi-Res adventure.
Description:
You simply need to find the fourteen scattered treasures that lie about in the four linked, but otherwise
independent, game segments. You must choose which of the seven types of characters you wish to
become in order to solve specific puzzles. The management of each character's limited "lives" makes up a
large part of the challenge. The graphics are only average, but the text gets rather clever in places,
especially at the end.
Playability:
A barely average adventure, but a good one for first time adventurers. It will serve the more expe-
rienced player as a pleasant way to pass time. After reaching the second segment of the game, you may
save it. The vocabulary is not very good; in fact, it's very poor, but at least you don't get killed off at every
corner.

 OO-TOPOS
Company: Sentient Software
Suggested Retail: $32.95
Type: All-text adventure of the futuristic variety. Like, way out!
Description:
Escape from an alien planet and return to Earth after reassembling the widely scattered parts of your
spacecraft and finding the various treasures which were in the spacecraft at the time of your capture. The
jungle maze, one of five in the game, is excellent.
Playability:
A high degree of disk interaction slows OO-Topos, already lengthy and somewhat difficult, largely
because of its size and the number of discrete objects. Most likely, only experienced adventurers will have
the patience to play it through. The vocabulary is limited, and the scoring a complete mystery. Still,
overall, it's an above average game, a challenging adventure with excellent scope and story line.

 PALACE IN THUNDERLAND
Company: Micro Lab
Suggested Retail: $24.95
Type: All-text adventure.
Description:
Palace in Thunderland, Micro Lab's second adventure, follows the successful Madventure. You must
find eight treasures and resolve several puzzles. The story follows an Alice in Wonderland theme, very
much tongue-in-cheek, with lots of humor. Who knows, you may become the King!
Playability:
An excellent game. Humor, a reasonable vocabulary and one puzzle in particular that has several viable
alternatives, but only one answer that will permit a perfect game. Beginners can handle Palace, but even
more experienced adventurers will take a good weekend to get through it.

 PIRATE ADVENTURE
Company: Adventure International
Suggested Retail: $39.95
Type: Originally an all-text game, recently re-released in Hi-Res form.
Description:
You must magically travel between a London flat and an island on your way to locating two treasures. It
has a smooth storytelling style, and rooms are populated by such wacky characters as a talkative parrot,
alligators, a mongoose that's a failure in life, and a drunken pirate who is forever wandering off.
Playability:
A good game to cut the young adventurer's teeth on; not too tough, and a lot of fun. The task of building
a ship on the first island presents a good example of a well done interactive puzzle. The two-word syntax
has a limited but adequate vocabulary. The text is brief and to the point. The game offers a single, easily
made or recalled saved-game.

 PLANETFALL
Company: Infocom, Inc.
Suggested Retail: $49.95
Type: A science fiction all-text adventure.
Description:
After surviving an interstellar spaceship explosion, you find yourself on a strange planet, deserted
except for a friendly robot named Floyd, who gives you his utmost devotion. The purpose of the game
doesn't become clear until well into it, when you come across the computer-within-the-computer. To
succeed, you need to repair four subsystems, overcome hunger and disease, battle a huge microbe, avoid
radiation poisoning, and cope with a room full of dangerous mutants.
Playability:
Perhaps not as "tight" as some other games that Infocom has done, but reasonably challenging
nevertheless. What with the "standard" superlative parser and save-game capability, it's a pleasure to
play. You also get a few red-herring puzzles that are reasonably well developed, scads of objects to
wonder about, and alternative endings that may make you wonder if you have achieved the optimum
solution.

 PYRAMID OF DOOM
Company: Adventure International
Suggested Retail: $39.95
Type: An all-text game, scheduled for revision into Hi-Res form. Price also includes Mystery Fun House
and Ghost Town.
Description:
Thirteen treasures lie scattered in an unexplored Egyptian pyramid. Your task: to get in, stay alive, and
haul all thirteen back to a particular location. The game features cobras, mummies, pharoahs, decapitated
statues, a huge purple worm, and a multitude of objects.
Playability:
This game starts out simply enough, but gets very difficult in a few spots; one treasure, for example,
occupies a logical spot where you cannot see it, while another is guarded by a stone-hearted Iron Pharoah.
Have fun, and good luck with the purple worm. The two-word syntax has a limited but adequate
vocabulary, and the text is brief and to the point. You also have a single easily made or recalled
saved-game.

 QUEEN OF PHOBOS
Company: Phoenix Software
Suggested Retail: $34.95
Type: A black and white science fiction Hi-Res adventure.
Description:
As the sole occupant of a small spaceship, you must board a derelict Martian spaceship and obtain the
fabled golden mask of Kuh-Thu-Lu. You must find it and make good your escape before the four looters
who are also on board decide to do you in. If you can piece together some of the early-on puzzles, you can
do them in before they conclude that you have to go. The graphics are crisp and well detailed.
Playability:
A well implemented, nicely paced, fast acting adventure of average difficulty. Beginners will find it
challenging and interesting, and more experienced players will find an enjoyable weekend in store. You
must traverse a good-sized maze in order to get to the center of the spaceship, where the real action takes
place and a scary bit of animation occurs. The vocabulary proves quite adequate for the game, and clear
responses answer unknown words.

 THE QUEST

Company: Penguin Software

Suggested Retail: $19.95
Type: A Hi-Res adventure with color graphics.
Description:
This two-sided disk offers immense proportions, but little content. As the King's advisor, you been
ordered to rid the kingdom of a rampaging dragon. Gorn, the King's loyal but slow-witted champion,
accompanies you on this mission, which will have you ranging among blazing deserts, dark tunnels, and
near endless plains.
Playability:
Guard The graphics and text are rather insipid,
Station except for the all too few glimpses of little

 THE SANDS OF EGYPT
Company: Datamost
Suggested Retail: $29.95
Type: A Hi-Res adventure with color graphics and animation.
Description:
You are a world famous archaeologist, now lost in the desert, near what you believe to be a hidden
burial chamber. Thirst be damned! You have a reputation to uphold, so it's on to the hoped-for treasure.
Playability:
Some nicely animated graphics and fast color fill. For the most part, however, the graphics are just
average. An amusing internal (H)elp message comes in handy. The puzzles aren't tough once you
understand the sand maze, which is quite well done. You can make saved-game scenarios to the program
disk and call them at any time. Kids may need help with the mapping.

 SAVAGE ISLAND PART I

Company: Adventure International

Suggested Retail: $39.95
Type: An all-text game, now being revised into a Hi-Res version. Price includes Savage Island, Part II and
Golden Voyage.
Description:
You try in this game to obtain the password that permits you to enter Savage Island, Part II. To do so,
you must survive a tropical hurricane and a sickly bear, find a mysterious looking pirate, cope with a
Neanderthal Man, and push the right buttons.
Playability:
A toughie, meant for those who breezed through Mystery Fun House and casually solved Ghost Town.
Unfortunately, the save game feature is (perhaps) disabled during the toughest sequence of this game,
where your early demise is left in the hands of the computer's randomizer.1f not already familiar with the
Scott Adams' series, you should not start with this game. While some parts move easily and quickly, the
difficulty lies in staying alive long enough to get to them. The two-word syntax has a limited but adequate
vocabulary. The text is a bit more expansive than the others, but not by much. It has a single, easily made
or recalled saved-game.

 SA VAGE ISLAND PART II
Company: Adventure International
Suggested Retail: $39.95
Type: An all-text game, soon to be revised into Hi-Res form. Price includes Savage Island, Part I and
Golden Voyage.
Description:
A toughie, full of a curious mix of prehistoric and space age entanglements. If you can get through the
game, you get the code needed to decipher the secret message sheet that came with the game. Except for a
few characters, the two Savage Islands have little in common and do not resemble each other. In the
process of trying to solve this jewel you will encounter vacuums, force fields, atomic blocks, four consoles
with levers, dials and buttons, and your old friends, the Neanderthal Man and the Pirate.
Playability:
This game starts out with a bang, so to speak, and that bang is most likely you! The game lives up to the
first sign that you see, which says "Part I was a piece of cake compared to what you are about to go
through." It does ease up a bit after the first move puzzle. The two-word syntax has a limited but adequate
vocabulary. The text is brief and to the point. The game permits a single easily made or recalled
saved-game.

 SECRET AGENT:
MISSION ONE
Company: Jor-And
Suggested Retail: $32.95
Type: Black and white Hi-Res adventure, the first in a series.
Description:
Your mission: to locate and deactivate a near-ultimate weapon and escape before the waiting bombers
pound the island (and you) into dust. Many puzzles crop up between the beginning, where you're in an
airplane about to get shot down, and the end, where you reach the waiting helicopter and safety. The
game includes a difficult maze and many straightforward puzzles.
Playability:
The graphics are neat and crisp, but the text, somewhat sparse. Although the plot won't win any awards,
it does hold your interest throughout the game, presenting several interesting twists along the way. The
two-word syntax and limited vocabulary are unusually well-integrated into the game's design. You get a
single save-game position, written to or recalled from the disk any time the command cursor is available.

 SERPENT'S STAR
Company: Ultrasoft
Suggested Retail: $39.95
Type: An animated Hi-Res adventure with color graphics and Hi-Res text.
Description:
The setting: Tibet. Your mission: find the last three scrolls which lead to the fabled Serpent's Star gem
and steal it. To accomplish this dastardly deed, you must visit two monasteries, buy and give away
objects, initiate a few quick actions, dodge through an avalanche, answer five riddles, navigate the maze,
and even solve a puzzle or two.
Playability:
Three of the five riddles are a basic test of Buddhist and Yogi tenets, and you only get one chance to
answer each question correctly. You get no clues to the tougher puzzles. Serpent's Star is a game that many
have started but few have completed (before giving up in frustration). This book should help a lotI

 SHERWOOD FOREST

Company: Phoenix Software

Suggested Retail: $34.95
Type: Hi-Res adventure with color graphics and animation.
Description:
As Robin Hood, it's your wedding day. But several puzzles lie between the wedding and your shooting
off to the Honeymoon Suite with the fair Maid Marion. You have lost your pretty green uniform, and your
old friends don't recognize you. Find that, get something to amuse your merry men, and you'll be on your
way. A bit of animation adds a nice touch.
Playability:
Extremely well implemented. Aimed at the beginning to intermediate adventurer, it moves quickly.
Not too tough, but cleverly interactive puzzles have several amusing twists. The command parser
supports more than two words, and the save-game feature is excellent. A very light-hearted and cheery
game. Great for kids.

 SOFTPORN ADVENTURE
Company: On-Line Systems
Suggested Retail: $29.95
Type: An all-text adventure.
Description:
Your goal, bizarrely enough, is to find and seduce three women. The game also incorporates both
blackjack and slot machine games-these broads are expensive! Descriptions are PC rated, while user
input can be X-rated.
Playability:
A moderately difficult but quite challenging and solvable puzzle game good for would-be adventurers.
You can save the game on a scratch disk, but you can't recall it from within the game. Lots of tongue-in-
cheek humor.

 SORCERER

Company: Infocom, Inc.

Suggested Retail: $49.95
Type: An all-text adventure, a follow-up to The Enchanter.
Description:
Remember taking the role of neophyte wizard in The Enchanter? Well, you're back again, this time
armed with seven spells at the outset. Seems that your mentor, the aged and wise Belboz, has gone off on a
secret mission to rid the world of an evil force so sinister that he dare not reveal it to any in the Circle of
Enchanters. You must find and rescue him, which you can accomplish only by doing in the evil force
known as Jeearr. You'd better find the nine other spell scrolls or you won't have a chance.
Playability:
A worthy successor, with the promise of a third. Interactive puzzles and reasonably jazzy text, though
not as golden or expansive as some others from Infocom. The parser and save-game capability don't get
any better-they can't. The difficulty factor is well chosen, not too tough for a novice (with lots of
patience) and plenty challenging for the experienced dungeon trekker.

 STARCROSS
Company: Infocom, Inc.
Suggested Retail: $39.95
Type: An all-text science fiction adventure.
Description:
It's long ago and far away when suddenly the strident alarm of your one-man spaceship awakens you,
advising you of the presence of an uncharted mass in space. Naturally curious (if not, it would make a very
short game), you rendezvous, effect an entrance, turn on some lights and encounter both living and dead
remnants of preceding alien civilizations, advanced technology, religious superstition, and past tragedy.
Hopefully, you will be accorded the salutation of Galactic Overlord.
Playability:
While less difficult than its predecessors in the series, the game contains a relatively hard sequence
which involves obtaining one of the twelve differently colored control rods. Throughout, the true use of
the Ray Gun, required to successfully complete the game, is neatly disguised. It's almost a shame to waste
the story line on kids who will simply enjoy the puzzles and ask a lot of embarrassing questions about the
Periodic Tables, Newton's Third Law, and Solar System basics.

 STRANGE ODYSSEY

Company: Adventure International

Suggested Retail: $39.95
Type: An all-text game, scheduled for revision into Hi-Res form. This price also includes Voodoo Castle
and The Count.
Description:
Stranded on an alien planet in a damaged spaceship, your only hope lies in finding objects needed to
repair your ship, figuring out how to do it, obtaining the planet's five treasures, and returning home. You
cannot simply take all of the treasures-diamonds, especially, are tough to obtain.
Playability:
The puzzles are not too hard once you figure out how to get around among the locations of this game.
Four of the five treasures you want you can get into the fold without too much trouble, but getting the fifth
becomes a dog of a job and it might take a pretty cold day before you pry it loose. The two-word syntax
has a limited but adequate vocabulary. The text is brief and to the point. The game offers a single easily
made or recalled saved-game.

Company: Infocom, Inc.
Suggested Retail: $49.95
Type: A science fiction all-text adventure.
Description:
It starts as just another day in the life of the central mentality of a planet-that's you. Normally, three
underground computers maintain stability and equilibrium in the weather, food growing and transporta-
tion systems, but today just isn't one of your better days. Seems like everything's going wrong, so you must
use your wits, manual override capabilities, and six independently controlled robots to right the wrongs.
The robots will steal the show, each with his own unique capabilities.
, Playability:
The puzzles are complex and very interactive, but few in number. Depending on how well you manage
to repair things while minimizing the loss of life on the planet's surface, the ending will grade you with
interesting witticisms, or, if you flunk out, "talking mechanisms" will summarily replace you. As always,
the Infocom parser, vocabulary, and save-game capability appear in fine form.

 TIME ZONE
Company: Sierra On-Line Systems
Suggested Retail: $99.95
Type: A monster-sized Hi-Res adventure with color graphics.
Description:
In the course of your mission you use the Time Machine in your backyard to travel into the future to
Neburon, deal appropriately with the evil Ramadu, and destroy his Ray Gun before it demolishes the
Earth. You also need to return home safely to garner the title of Ultimate Adventurer. To achieve this rank
requires traveling through twenty-four of thirty-nine accessible eras. Beware, this game is of humongous
proportions, considering its six double-sided disks. The scope and size warrant the price.
Playability:
Time Zone is a map maker's delight. The final product will fill a book! You encounter bunches of
puzzles, but the majority prove more frustrating than tricky or difficult. Sorry, no help or hint option for
this one. The command syntax allows two words only. Many ways of getting killed crop up, especially in
areas useless to the solution! Be sure to save the game on entering each new land.

 TRANSYL VANIA
Company: Penguin Software
Suggested Retail: $19.95
Type: A Hi-Res adventure with color graphics.
Description:
You must find the enchanted Princess, Sabrina, break the spell that holds her, and return her safely to the
King. If you do not accomplish this task before dawn, Sabrina gets it. The graphics are the strong point of
this game, in which you deal with a neatly detailed Werewolf, a well-dressed Vampire, and several
moderately interactive puzzles.
Playability:
A bit slow, but the graphics make it worth the wait. No gimmicks, mazes, animation, or anything fancy,
but a well-balanced, tongue-in-cheek (although not particularly humorous) game. You save games to a
scratch disk, but call them only on the boot cycle. Not too hard for the beginner and interesting enough for
the more advanced player.

 ULTIMA I
Company: California Pacific Computer
Suggested Retail: $39.95
Type: A Hi-Res fantasy game with color graphics.
Description:
The game starts in the Medieval period, with daggers and leather shields, and progresses through the
space age, with blasters and reflective suits. Your Ultima role-playing character evolves in experience and
attributes through many levels, finally arriving at the "ultimate confrontation" after a trip through time.
The game involves eight castles, eight monuments, some thirty-two cities and dungeons, and an eight by
eight sector space setting in both Hi- and Lo-Res.
Playability:
The Ultima series ranks among the best of the role-playing games. The challenge lies in its sheer
massiveness and evolutionary process more than in puzzles. The game can (and should) be saved
frequently. However, you cannot cannot recall the game without shutting down your system. No regular
solution exists and beating the evil Mondain is lots of work. You'll find a lot of gold-saving and strategic
tips elsewhere in this book.

 ULTIMA II
Company: Sierra On-Line Systems
Suggested Retail: $59.95
Type: A Hi-Res fantasy with color graphics. A graphic tour-de-force.
Description:
It seems that we veterans of the earlier game were mistaken; when we finally killed Mondain, we didn't
find and deal with his apprentice, Minax. Now that she has come of age, she possesses even more power than
her predecessor. So, too, does Ultima II compared to its classy predecessor! Ultima Irs three disk sides
take you to several towers (upside down dungeons), villages, five time periods, and ten planets, in
addition to the towns, castles, and dungeons that players of the original game will remember. You employ
time portals, horses, ships, airplanes, and a rocket to get around.
Playability:
No specific solution exists here either, but check elsewhere for valuable tips and strategies. To achieve
your goal takes many hours of searching, interrogations, and monster whomping. You really only need
two objects to defeat Minax, but both require time, thought, and money. You can save the game at any
point, but, as with the original, you have to go through a lengthy rebooting cycle to recall a game.
Nevertheless, this game is a must .

ULTIMA III
Company: Origin Systems, Inc.
Suggested Retail: $54.95
Type: A Hi-Res fantasy adventure.
Description:
Once upon a time, Mondain (Ultima I) and Minax (Ultima II) had a blessed event, named Exodus. Be he
animal, vegetable, or mineral, he's plenty tough, and not a very nice adversary, to say the least. Your task is
to find him, or it, and rid the world of his presence. It ain't easy. Doing so requires bunches of gold and
then more bunches. Guess how you get the goldl Well, whomp millions of monsters, go dungeon
slumming, kiss up to the King, commandeer a ship, and gain tons of experience.
Playability:
A goodly amount of hints, tips, and strategies in the back will materially aid you in achieving the
ultimate goal, but no specific solution as such exists. Get gold, get strong, get marks, get cards, get Exodus I
In this game, you have four characters rather than one, which adds interminably to the combat sequences,
so necessary for success. The weak points of the predecessors remain while some of the neater points have
disappeared. but this game retains interest and challenge.

216
 ULYSSES AND THE GOLDEN FLEECE
Company: Sierra On-Line Systems
Suggested Retail: $32.95
Type: A Hi-Res adventure with color graphics.
Description: The King has asked that you find and return to him the fabled Golden Fleece, and even
bankrolls your journey. Before you ride home to riches on Pegasus and become ordained a Level 2
adventurer, you'll have to contend with ocean storms, dragons, Neptune himself, cyclops, magic words,
sirens, and a troop of skeletons bent on doing you dirt.
Playability:
Very well conceived, this game feels tight despite its size. It suffers from a poor vocabulary and lack of
synonym recognition, making some already difficult puzzles even more so. A la Cranston Manor, it takes a
lengthy reboot cycle if you get killed off, but you can call in a saved-game from the scratch disk as long as
you remain alive.

 VOODOO CASTLE
Company: Adventure International
Suggested Retail: $39.95
Type: An all-text adventure game, soon to be revised into Hi-Res form. Price also includes the Count and
Strange Odyssey.
Description:
Yours is the not so simple task of removing a curse from the Count Cristo. The game takes place amid
the rooms, hallways, and darkened dungeons of Voodoo Castle. You encounter a Kachina Doll, a Juju
Man, a book for removing curses, and much more.
Playability:
Very well done and fast moving, with the best story line of the entire series. A few tricky spots, but
eminently solvable. The two-word syntax has a limited but adequate vocabulary. The text is relatively
expansive compared to the other games. It has a single easily made or recalled saved-game.

 WITNESS

Company: Infocom, Inc.

Suggested Retail: $49.95
Type: An all-text detective mystery adventure.
Description:
In the Los Angeles of 1938, the wife of a noted millionaire businessman has committed suicide. You are
the police detective assigned to investigate his concern over threats made on his life. There must have
been something to them, for before your very eyes and in the midst of your investigation, he is shot to
death. Whodunit-the Butler, the Daughter, or the wife's lover-and precisely how? It soon becomes
obvious that you cannot mount a good case against several of them.
Playability:
Don't try to compare this one to Deadline. It's much easier, almost too easy, as things quickly fall into
place as soon as you examine certain key objects. Alternate endings exist, but only one is correct.
Imaginative and reasonably interactive puzzles, but just too few of them. OK for neophytes, but not too
much here for advanced adventurers. The parser and save-game capability, as always, are great but the
vocabulary is a bit weak for an Infocom game.

 WIZARD AND THE PRINCESS
Company: Sierra On-Line Systems
Suggested Retail: $32.95
Type: Hi-Res adventure with color graphics.
Description:
Here you find and return a Princess, bewitched by a wicked wizard and spirited away to his remote
Castle. It's tough to get started. You must pass a coiled snake, but scorpions cover most rocks you might
kill it with. After that you face a desert, a wide canyon, a wooded beach area, two tropical islands, a
rickety bridge, a thieving gnome, a pirate, a giant, a wandering merchant, a maze, and a magical castle.
Playability:
The second of the Hi-Res adventures. Despite its relative age, it's still a winner. The game is disk
intensive and slightly on the slow side, but straightforward and easy to play. Both kids and adults will find
Wizard and the Princess very entertaining and challenging.

 WIZARDRY
Company: Sir-Tech Software, Inc.
Suggested Retail: $49.95
Type: Hi-Res fantasy adventure.
Description:
The ultimate maze type of fantasy adventure game. Take six characters into the ten dungeon levels and
seek your fame and fortune. You create each character out of five races, three alignments, and eight
classes, and each has its own unique capabilities. The game provides nifty but repetitive graphics, and not
much in the way of text. You have no puzzles as such, but must find a number of objects so you can
proceed. As such, Wizardry requires complete exploration of each level.
Playability:
This game demands careful and detailed mapping and knowledge of your location at any time. No
solution occurs as such, hence, no verbal solution is provided here. It's difficult to get started with a set of
characters that can survive for long, but once you get a reasonable set of spell capabilities, matters change
for the better. This very long and involved game which unfortunately cannot be saved in the midst of a
deep, dark dungeon.

 ZORKI

Company: Infocom, Inc.

Suggested Retail: $39.95
Type: An all-text adventure.
Description:
Zork I is simply the best selling adventure of all time. You start near a deserted house, over a huge and
wondrous underground cavern. Nineteen treasures await discovery, but they are well-hidden by the
expansive and novel-like text descriptions of the dam, coal mine, lake, chapel, and even the Gates of Hell.
Along the way, you will meet and must deal with the likes of a testy Troll, an audacious Thief, and a
hungry Cyclops.
Playability:
Very interactive and challenging puzzles. A superb word parser which anticipates just about any
response supports the multiple word parser. The save-game capability, usable at any time, supports two
drives. Originally written on a mainframe, Zork I faithfully represents the first third of that game. When
you tackle this one, you are in for a lot of fun.

You start where Zork I left off. Another 400 points and ten more treasures will test your imaginative and
logical abilities to the limit. You'll encounter a dragon, a unicorn, a princess, a baby sea monster, a huge
dog, and a powerful demon. On top of this, the senile master of the domain, the
Wizard of Frobozz almost endlessly torments you. You contend with lots of ob- Inside
Barrow
jects, a riddle, and a hot-air balloon from which you may even catch a glimpse
of the deserted white house where all this started. I
Playability: Narrow

Some new material has been integrated into the mainframe version, and it
fits like a glove. You face several especially hard nuts to crack, like ,
understanding what's going on in the Oddly Angles Rooms.Things really start

picking up once you figure out how to deal with the curious dragon. The Bridge
ending is quite neat; you may achieve your 400 points-but maybe, just
maybe, yet another puzzle lies ahead of you. J

ZORKIII
Company: Infocom, Inc.
Suggested Retail: $39.95
Type: An all-text adventure.
Description:
The best has been saved for last in this book. Zork III gets my vote as the best
single adventure. You start where Zork II left off, armed only with your trusty
lantern, having only to round up seven points. You obtain them by accomplishing
specific tasks, like mastering the Time Machine from which you may even glimpse
the fabled Lord Dimwit Flathead himself. But the seven points are only half of it;
the real game still lies ahead of you. Why are you here, and what is the meaning of
all that you survey? Have patience, you may find out when all the treasures of
Zorkdom, including a controlling interest in Fobozzco Inernational, are at your
disposal.
Playability:
If you play this game the same way that you play other adventures, you'll never
get anywhere. This time you must consider sensitivity, trust, and human compassion.
Yes, educational value occurs here, as well as a lot of interesting puzzles, some of
which have alternate solutions. As always, the parser, vocabulary, and save-game
Inside
capability support the game in beautiful style. The game pays superb attention to Hallway
Mirror
detail. Did you know, for example, that the chest is watertight?

 CRIME STOPPER

1. 2nd Ave. & 90th St.: Open Drawer and load up. Answer Telephone and Read Telegram. Turn on TV. Change
Channel. Go up on Roof for the Hanky, but don't expect it to be of any use.
2. 2nd Ave. & 90th St.: In Secretary's Office, Move Picture. Get combination L36-R26-L26.
3. 2nd Ave. & 90th St.: Buy a Newspaper for more information. Be ready with the ESCAPE key to stop scrolling.
4. 2nd Ave. & 50th St.: At the Sizemore Building, Tell Guard, Al Clubs.
5. 2nd Ave. & 50th St.: The Subway Platform is a good storage location. For now, Take Money, Bank Card,
Cigarette, and Lighter.
6. 6th Ave. & Bth St.: A convenient place to get enough money for carfare and bribes. Insert card. lO-28-B1.
Cannot carry more than $99. Don't forget Bankcard.
7. 2nd Ave. & Bth St.: Room 209 is at end of hall. Wait for telephone call. Read Receipt.
B. 10th Ave. & 21st St.: Bribe the man in Skid Row doorway (three times at $5 per).

Light Cigarette. Get Stub. No hurry-twenty moves available before freezing. Drop Cigarette and Lighter.

11. 10th Ave. & 90th St.: In Apartment, Turn Dial (Left or Right). Be ready with the Space bar. Don't ask why, as it
has no known bearing on the game. Stop just before each number (L36-R26-L26) and creep up on it.
12. 2nd Ave. & 90th St.: On Station Platform, a man should approach with a message.
13. 6th Ave. & 50th St.: Phone will ring, so answer it. This is a good place to check your money, although you don't
need too much more.
14. 2nd Ave. & 135th St.: Find Dead Man. This is Bug City-don't go here before getting the phone call, because
then you can't leave the room. Probably a key on the body-but I couldn't get it! The Blowgun and Dart are of
no use.
15. 6th Ave. & 21st St.: The locked locker is presumably what the missing key is for. The code indicates that there

17. West & 21st St.: Deliver ransom by dropping Suitcase at lockers at 9 PM, not before.
lB. West & 21st St.: Wait and watch for Crowded Corridor. If no one comes by 10 PM (the courier is Livwell),
he won't come due to a bug in the program. (On six near-identically played games, he appeared only twice.
Perhaps a flag wasn't set by doing something which seemed to have no bearing on the game, like not getting the
Hanky or going to the "wrong" bank.)
19. 2nd Ave. & 50th St.: Follow Man to Sizemore Building. Enter elevator with him. Shoot Man as soon as he
recognizes you-don't try the command Shoot Livwell.
20. 2nd Ave. & 50th St.: On roof, Shoot Man (not Shoot J.J.). When Cartier breaks away, Pull Lever.

up Phone.
2. Get Loblo Bottle. Read Loblo Label.
3. Around 9:15, an envelope will be delivered to the Foyer. Open Envelope and Read the Letter. Interesting
possibilities, but you'll never get a conviction!
4. Around 11:25, the Herald (newspaper) will arrive. Read Paper. Read Second Section.
5. Around 12:00, attend reading of the Will. Show George the Calendar. Follow George (who is upset and goes to
his room), and go out on the Library Balcony. Look into Library. Save Game when George appears. When
George disappears, enter Library and Examine Bookshelf. Push Button after three Waits (give him time to
open the safe). Alternate solutions evolve by waiting for longer or shorter periods. Try them all. Get Stack of
Papers. Have fun with the new Will.
6. After around 11:20, find McNabb, who will be mumbling to himself. Ask McNabb about the Roses. Ask
McNabb to Show Me the Holes. Follow McNabb. Dig in the Soil. Search the Dirt. Analyze Porcelain for Loblo.
Get Lab Report (later).
7. Ask Dunbar about Loblo Bottle. Show her the Lab Report. Accuse Dunbar. (She should be very uptight now,

Dunbar about the Ticket Stub.
8. Wait and Follow until Dunbar and Baxter are together. Show Baxter the Newspaper and the Second Section.

pistol shot. With everyone assembled in Dunbar's room, Ask Baxter for Pen. Arrest Baxter. As a second
alternate, wait for Dunbar in her room, talk a while, and then leave. By the way, did you ever read the end of the

 DEATH IN THE CARIBBEAN

1. Get Rope. The Seat will only occupy valuable space in your four object carrying capacity.

3. Cover Hole. Rock. Much as you may like to get the red lining to wave at the Bull, you won't. Go North and get
the magical Ring.
4. Tie Rope. Tree. Tie Rope. Wagon. Drop Wagon. Climb Down Rope. You can't get the Wagon back up the Cliff
via the Rope, but you can, if you must, get it back up by rubbing your Ring.
5. Look Sign. Get Corkscrew. Go Get the Bottle. No, the River cannot be crossed here. By now you no doubt have
random objects taken by the Elf, which can be dug up in the Cemetary. His actions are cut off by carrying the
Amulet, but it's a good idea to save games fairly often, both for this reason and because some puzzles give you
only one command before you're killed.
6. Using the proper letter substitutions, the message translates to "PYRAMID MARKER GUARDS BURIED
CHEST. EXCAVATE WITH GREAT CARE."
7. A neat puzzle with neither a known nor needed solution as far as the overall game is concerned. You can try Kill
Bull, and may Aim Gun at him or Cut Hom (with Sword), but just try to get by him.
8. Cross River (need Wagon). Wagon(need Shovel). Shovel. You can't save the Wagon, but once you've seen the
Alligator, that word is recognized as a location by the Genie of the Ring, together with the previously seen and
known locations such as Monument, Cliff (top), and Church.
9. Open Bottle (need Corkscrew). Empty Bottle (poison, anyway). Cork Bottle, which is now full of Fog.
10. The Inverted Pyramid and Parrot make up another red-herring puzzle.
U. Bring the Lantern here to light it. Leave Matches. There is no way to stop the Storm, and, hence, no way to enter
the cave from this side.
12. Might as well Eat the Cookies and Drink the Milk-they have no other requirement in the game.
13. To get the Hat, Rub Ring. Cliff. Untie Rope. Get Rope. When you can again Rub Ring, go back to the Alligator
and go into the Quicksand. Get Hat. Wear Hat. Throw Rope. You will lose the Rope and any objects you are
carrying, but not those being worn.
14. Read the Music. Note that it's written in the key of G (OK, OK, so it looks like a C, but you want to solve this
thing, don't you?)
15. Look but don't mess with the Bell Rope. It's another would be puzzle that's a red herring. Open Trapdoor. Go
Down. Carry the Key, Fog-filled Bottle, Corkscrew and Lantern. Wear the Ring, Amulet and Hat. Get the
Sword and Drop Key for it.
16. Open Fog-filled Bottle (need Corkscrew).
17. Cut Fog (need Sword).
18. Dig (after going back for Shovel). Are you ready for this? The Key is GI

12. In Garden, Dig Garden. Get Carrot.
13. In Sleeping Quarters, Climb Rungs. Get Boots and Pendant. Don't Wear Boots as they are a one-shot item.

7. Examine Chains (sets Ambassadors free if you have Key). Use Pick. Go Passage. Don't head South.
8. Not sure why there's a Necklace, but what the heck, it's on the way back to the Lodge, just don't mess with the
Yeti. (Code says that Drop Gourd, which contains a poison, would kill the Yeti, but enabling that feature is
apparently left to the student as an exercise.)

 EMPIRE OF THE OVERMIND

General Note: Even though you may be carrying both a Key and a Pistol, for example, you can only use one at a
time. That is, you must Hold Key or Hold Pistol first. The last object picked up is automatically the one being

you to Get the Scarab. Note its Hieroglyph.
15. Place the Book in the Large Recess of the Queen's Sarcophagus, and the Scarab in the Small Recess. (This is a
direct translation of the Hieroglyphics in the Book.) Tum the Gods in the order implied by the number of "@"
in each of their names, that is, N eith, Selkis, Isis, and N ephthys. When you now move the lid, you have won 400
points but lost something else. Yes, this is the end, there is no other way of getting a perfect score, and no way of
avoiding this ending. You can, however, by using the beam to cross the Pit, get out of the pyramid with 395
points.

 MAD VENTURE

1. Read Book. Light Lamp. Deposit Key, Crowbar, Bottle, Book and Lamp (in Chute).
2. Eat Sandwich. Go Hole. You'll get squashed if you're carrying anything.
3. Read Book. Eat Key. There are two more important clues in the book which will appear in due course. Keep
checking.
4. My vote for the best one-command puzzle in all Adventuredom. So simple, so obvious, so difficult, so Take
Fork!
5. Drop Bottle. Get Ball. Throw Ball. Get Kewpie Doll.
6. Use Fork. Get Diamond. Back.
7. Take Shell. Get Fork. Drop Shell. Drop Fork at Checkpoint.
8. Give Doll (to Beggar). Beggar only appears once. The key words in his clue are "On and Off."

10. Clean Rocks. Say KATIE. Drop first load of treasures. KATIE will return you underground.

14. Get Coin and don't forget (or Eat) Candy, as it's worth fifteen points. Entering Lobby is good for ten points.
15. Say PL UM (Hint was in Book). Say KATIE. Get Revolver. The effect of magic words changes a bit if you're
carrying the Ruby. This approach also gets the Book to the Library in a move-efficient manner.

16. Pet Cat. Teleport to Catwalk.

17. Get Spoon. Go Mirror. Find Emerald in Maze. Exit from Pit in Maze. It's the only way to get Ruby out.
18. Get Fork. Get another Kewpie Doll. Get Jewel.

the game can be completed in 181 moves, assuming no saves, inventories or errors. Don't mess with Sandwich
or bother to Read Book.

cable. Be sure to put the fuse in the machine again, and to write down the possible computer reset codes.

Chamber, taking the Bag and going to Maintenance Access. The humans will follow and fix the acid leak that
kills off your robots.
8. Get the second replacement cable in Gamma Repair. Have Sensa look at the large object and then turn the
flowswitch. She needs the help of another robot, so "Both Sensa and xxx, Move Fred," the name ascribed him
by Poet.
9. In either Channel, plug the TV camera in and point it at different objects to get the lay of the cables and the reset
codes for the Fe. Its a good idea to save the game before playing around with the cables, for several reasons.

11. In the Secondary Channel, replace the orange nine-inch cable with the orange fourteen-inch cable from the
Machine in Main Supply. Poet can't tell which is the bad one, so the way to find out is to take them out one at a
time. The one that doesn't kill your robot is the bad one!

 ULTIMA I

No puzzles as such occur in this game; thus, I cannot offer a specific solution. In fact, I can offer only a few hints
because the game essentially requires only patience to beat. I have identfied no specific advantage to any particular
race or type of warrior, but whichever you choose, balance out your attributes reasonably well. At the outset,
relatively high Strength and Agility are of value, but there are no attribute requirements associated with being able to
use any particular weapon or armor.
After getting your first display, head Northwest for the castle and town of Lord British, and hit the store, buying a
bit more food, which goes in a hurry when you're above ground. In the friendly shops, you will find "new," more
advanced items for sale as the game evolves and as your character develops. Even if an advanced item, such as a
top-of-the-line Reflect Suit or a Phazor, is not listed as available, it is always there for the stealing. Therein lies the
biggest clue: go to the food, armory, and weapons stores and try your luck at stealing. No doubt you will get caught
much of the time, but with a bit of luck, like glomming on to Plate Armor or a Light Sword as a minimum, a few
lengthy rebooting cycles are a small enough price to pay. Note that in this game, unlike Ultima II, your game position
is not saved when you enter or leave a town or castles. You must specifically (Q)uit to save the game. Therefore, as
soon as you get something good, duck out of the town, do a quick save and then head behind the counter again!
Once you're reasonably well-equipped, the first major expenditure you should save your pennies for is a ship. Buy
a couple of up ladders and about 200 to 300 hit points from your buddy the King, and head for the nearest dungeon.
Don't go down farther than, say, the second level for a while. The gold comes fairly easily, just make sure you can get
out after you've amassed some loot. As soon as you can afford your ship, your real problems are over, and it's
monster-whomping time in earnest for the gold you need for hit points, spells, and all that good stuff.
Hit each of the four continents and all eight of the castles. You can see from the maps that all are easily accessible
from the water, so an air car, while sporty, isn't really necessary. Take on all eight quests. With lots of up and down
ladders, a few offensive spells for the lower levels, and a bunch of hit points, make your real move in one of the
dungeons. The Gellatinous Cube, found mostly on levels 3 and 4, can destroy your armor, and you cannot ready new
armor underground. Try using down ladders, down to say level 9, where the Balron lives. Get him first while you still
have armor, and work your way back up, trying to get the other three monsters needed to fill your quota of quests.
After reporting back to the appropriate Kings, you'll have the four gems you need, and will have materially
enhanced your attributes.
The space bit, which should come next, is fun and well explained in the documentation. Just keep a record of the
directions in which you've gone. Avoid moving diagonally (unless you're really sure of your location). As soon as
you've downed ten enemy fighters, you will be told that you are an Ace. Get back to good old Terra Firma as soon as
possible.
Assuming that you've got the best in weapons, armor, and about 6,000 hit points, get the Princess out of jail. Try to
force the J ester down toward the entrance of the jail area, then kill him for the key. This starts the guards toward you
with most unfriendly intentions. You can lead the guards around various obstructions to minimize the number that
can get to you at anyone time. The hit point damage you incur is proportional to the total of hit points you have at a
given time. Hang in there: I once got out with only 6 hit points left to my name. Be of stout heart, because sometimes
the J ester has the "wrong" key and it's reboot time.
As soon as the Princess is safe, and using the hit points that she awards you, load up on even more hit points and
head for the area she told you about. (The spaceship is often found at the Grave of the Lost Souls.) Once you meet
Mondain, the only mandatory trick is to move next to the gem and (G)et it. If you don't, his power continues to
regenerate and you'll never get him.

ULTIMA II

Since the puzzles play but a small role in the game, I cannot specify an exact solution. Rather, gold, gold and more
gold is needed to win, and the only way to get it is to whomp monsters and then whomp some more. Aside from gold,
many critters carry objects which you can use to commandeer and operate ships, aircraft, and spaceships.
There are a total of five time periods in the game:
Time of Legends Time before time (Minax)
Pangea 9 Million B.C. (Good place for gold)
B.C. 1423 B.C. (Where you start)
A.D. 1990 A.D. (San Antonio)
Aftermath 2112 A.D. (Rocket Ships)
It is important to learn how to get to a given time period and to recognize the one in which you find yourself. The
easy way of time tripping is to find out how to get to the Time of Legends from each of the other periods, and use the
four time portals there. From left to right, these portals go from the earliest (Pangea) to the latest (Aftermath). The
tablecloth that comes with the game is handy, once you decipher it. (The Rune-written title on it deciphers to The
Time of the Legends.)
The most fruitful place to spend one's gold is Old San Antonio, for the games puzzles are centered here.
1. (O)f£er money to the Hotel Clerk in the California Hotel. You may simply get a "Thank You," but usually a
randomly selected attribute is enhanced by four points per hundred dollars tendered. Strength, however, is
never augmented, so start out with at least 30 (and preferably 40), because that's all you'll ever get. All others
should be in the 90's to optimize your chances for the final assult. Warning: The maximum for any attribute is
99. If you increase an attribute over 99 it starts over at zero again.

321
 2. Visit the old man in the garden at the top center (behind two locked gates). (O)ffer him $500 (minimum) and
he will charge you to "Get the Ring," which, from (T)ransacting with various parties, you have no doubt
deduced is on Planet X at 9,9,9. Well, not quite; after stealing a spaceship from Pirate's Harbour in the
Aftermath, you simply get Father Antos' blessing in Town Besko, the only town on Planet X. You must then
return to San Antonio and the old man. (0 )ffer him $500 (minimum) and "The Ring is Yours." The Ring permits
you to walk through fire, a necessity later on. Watch out that a Thief doesn't steal it. Save your game and check
your inventory before entering any time portal, city, or castle to make sure you still have it.
3. The Quick Sword may be obtained from Santre, the prisoner in the second prison cell on the left. (O)ffer him
$500 (minimum) and he'll promptly fork it over. Note that you'll have to fight your way in and out. This is a
good place to use (N)egate. Unlock the door to the prison, (A)ttack the Guard-you'll get a free hit before he
reacts. Back up and lead him out the door, press (N), and make a run for the cell. Note that an agility of about 40
is needed for you to use the Quick Sword.
Try life as a Cleric as it makes things a bit easier, especially in the Dungeons and Towers; however, unlike Ultima!,
you do not have to enter them if you don't wish to. Exploring them is optional, and it's quite possible to get through
the game, defeating Minax, without ever setting foot in them. At the outset of the game, try to avoid combat and
head Northwest, making for the town just Southeast of the Castle you will see. Try to (S)teal a weapon, armor and
some food. Make sure you have enough agility and strength to handle what you've stolen. Should you be successful,
leave the area, which essentially saves the game for you. Now-just maybe-you've got a chance to survive.
As soon as you've won a Blue Tassle (check "z" periodically), save the game to protect it from Thieves. Look for a
ship, because that's the most efficient monster whomper around. Move onto it and (B)oard. In some versions, a
program bug causes another ship to follow the one you've commandeered. You can leave the first and board the
second, and repeat this process until you've got a whole flotilla. In three full games, I have always found it easiest to
get the first ship in the Pangea period, 9 million B.C., also a good place to get rich reasonably quickly.
You may have to fight for your first ship in the A.D. time period. In Port Boniface, (T)ransact with a Guard near the
entry blocks to make sure he'll say "Pay Your Taxes." (Those who don't are invincible.) Attack him, moving yourself
around under the block so that only one guard can get at you. Keep trying. If you don't make it, don't leave town,·
Restart and try again; you'll restart as you were before you entered. The corollory is never to leave a location unless
you've improved your lot in life. If you are successful in killing a guard, leave immediately; you now have two keys.
Re-enter the Port, move near the gate to the shipyards in such a way that the guys on the other side are not in front
of the gate. Use a (N)egate spell, unlock the door and run for a ship. Once on board, beat up the Guards who come to
you as this will build up your inventory of Keys. Assuming that you have a Skull Key and Brass Button, this is an
opportunity to head for San Antonio again and get an airplane. You can't buy them, so unlock the door, kill the
attendant, (B)oard a plane and (L)aunch.
The best place to get Gold in a hurry is on the oblong continent of the Time of Legends, where Minax hangs out.
You need to be able to take care of yourself in order to survive here, as ships, at least initially, are in short supply.
Assuming you can control the fighting enough to take on only one attacker at a time (ie., in the approach to the area
you enter), it's best to have an airplane behind you. As soon as a ship appears, fly to and (B)oard it.
Sail either to the East or West coast. Move to the right, for example, and clobber the critters there while more
critters gath.er on the far shore. Then sail over and repeat the process. In this manner you should be able to collect
enough Gold to buy up to over 9,000 hit points and get into the 90's on all attributes. Only then are you ready to try to
do in dear old Minax.
To save yourself $4,500 of your hard earned gold, here are the Sage's clues (at $100 times the number of the clue):
1. The Queen is the King; the King is aSpy.
2. The evil men do is a horrable thing.
3. But dispelling means that you must have the ring.
4. Just where it is I cannot say.
5. But I'll tell right now there's no other way.
6. I hear in a town where the water runs free.
7. There is an old man living under a tree.
8. He has not a name, but he has got a clue.
9. Mayhaps if you find him, he'll tell it to you.

322
 The Bartender's tips for the indicated number of gold pieces are as follows:
1. Hmmm.
2. Some Fighters Wear Magic Helms.
3. Hmmm.
4. Saylors Wear Blue Tassles.
5. Aviators Use Skull Caps.
6. Guards Carry Keys.
7. Mages Carry Wands or Staffs.
8. Planes Need Brass Buttons.
9. Caugh.
As to space travel, watch out for the computer changing your input values of Xeno, Yako and Zabo. As you may
have gathered, you can fly to the eight known planets as well as Planet X and, if you're suicidal, the Sun. There is no
requirement to do so, but several are rather interesting, even though the Dungeons, Towns, Stores and Prices are all
very Earth-like. While only a cave can be found on Mercury and Saturn has naught but some roaming monsters, all
the rest have either towns or villages. Uranus's is somewhat different and full of jesters, while Neptune, where you
can easily get lost, boasts a Computer Camp.

ULTIMA III

There is no set solution to this game. It's long, even with these gold and time saving clues. Try forming a party
and trasferring all food and weapons to one member. This is best done within the Castle, avoiding monsters with
which you can't cope. Leave the town to save the game, hit Reset, reboot, delete the empty character shells, and
create three more. Go to town and buy your front line men with bows; these have the major advantage of hitting
targets from a distance. Consider using a Cleric with 25 Wisdom points, as youl1 need all the healing power he can
muster.
You'll be able to get to a maximum of 550 hit points, initially, by (T)ransacting with the King, provided you have
enough experience. With your 550 points, go to the dungeon in the northeast comer of the island, in the blackened
area. You'll recognize it by its waterway and protecting ship. In the first two levels, you should find two "plates,"
which you should touch. One yields the Mark of the King; and the other the Mark of Fire, which permits you to walk
through fire. With the Mark of the King, you can now get up to 2,550 hit points, again provided that you have enough
experience.
When you leave the Castle, go west 8 steps and south 34. When the moons are in 0,0 conjunction, the town of Dawn
will appear below you. In it you'll be able to buy better armor and weapons, as well as the keys, powders which
negate time, and gems which permit a screen display of the local area. More important, in the lower right comer are
three guys, each with important clues about Exotic weapons. After leaving, try to find a ship if you don't already
have one. Try digging on the two-square island near the island town of Fawn.
Make your way to the town on the island east of the Mainland. You'll recognize it by the bribable guard standing
before a locked gate. You can save the $100 bribe fee and a key by entering the maze south of the main entrance. Go
north at the first place you can, then straight east as far as you can, and then north to inside the gate. Peer at a Gem,
and sketch the town, using the sketch to get into the town. Go west to the locked gate. This one requires using a key.
Go south to the entry on the left side of the screen. Go west to the first north possibility, west to the next south
possibility, and west again. This should put you next to a guard. Bribe him, unless you are strong enough to kill off all
the guards. To the west lies a treasure area; good for about $1,100 (about $2,000 if you have the Mark of Force). It's
good to have a Thief who can grab the chests, and a Cleric who can heal him. Repeat this process until you've got
quite a load of gold, say $13,000 or so. Just be careful that you don't (C)ombine your gold hoard; give it all, say, to
your second or third man, and use both your Thief and Wizard's spells to collect the loot.

323

- ----_._._------- _ .. _--
 Loaded with your gold and at least four keys, jump in your ship, find a whirlpool storm and enter it. You'll be cast
on the shore of another island where there are four shrines. Here you can buy capability points at $100 a pop. Peer at a
Gem to get the lay of the land, and make a rough sketch. The Shrine of Strength is in the southwest comer, reached
though the mountain entry way in the northwest comer. Work your way south from there. You're on the right track if
you encounter two sets of wild horses. Keep going south from there. Be sure to <Pray> at each shrine.
The Shrine of Intelligence lies behind three locked gates in the north-central area. Don't bother opening up the
cages. Capture the ship that's waiting for you and sail west to where you can disembark. The Shrine lies behind the
third gate. You reach the Shrine of Wisdom by going north from the entry gate of the Shrine of Intelligence. Track
around to another locked gate. After the initial north and east travel, work your way south and slightly east. Ignore
the next locked gate you see. The Shrine of Dexterity is in the southeast area. After entering the dark area (to the right
and north of your landing point), work your way northeast.
Near the initial entry into this area you'll be able to go south. Following that track gets you to the south shore of the
Island, where you must capture a Pirate ship. Using yet another key, sail through the locked gate to the west and into
the awaiting Whirlpool in order to get back to the point at which you initially entered the Whirlpool. Several trips
between Death Gulch and Shipwreck Island should bring your attributes up to a fairly impressive level, and will
certainly make your life easier.
By now you should have at least two Marks and all four Cards. You'll find the Mark of the Snake on the eighth level
of the dungeon on the large island east of the Mainland. Another Mark appears on that level. If it isn't the Mark of
Force which permits you to walk through force fields, you'll find it in the west end of level 8 in the dungeon
surrounded by lava in the dark mountain area at the southeast end of the island. Lastly, if you want to find the Lord of
Time, look in the northwest comer of level 8 in the dungeon locked in by mountains (which you can only reach via
the Moon Portals).
Once you have 2,550 hit points and all eight Marks and Cards, you're ready for Ultima. "Ready" all of your party
with Exotic weapons and sail up to the Snake in the center of the island on the southeast comer of the Mainland.
<Yell> EZOCANE. It would be wise to make a copy of the player disk before entering the castle, as things can get
rough in there. Go as far to the west as you can, walking through the Force Fields and Fire. Then head north, all the
way up. As you go along you'll have several fairly tough battles. It's a good idea to negate time with a powder at the
outset of each battle.
In the upper central part you'll hit three sets of invisible enemies (Floors), each of whom hit pretty hard. Use your
Wizard's "P" spell or your Cleric's "0" spell. To get the rest, negate time, line your men up abreast, and march up the
room, attacking forward and to the sides. Each Floor panel will only take one hit to kill when you find them. When
the negate powder wears off, watch which of your guys is getting hit: he's the one nearest your foe.

2. Open Window at West Side of House. Enter Window or West.
3. Move Rug. Get Lamp, Sword and Rope. Open Trap Door. Turn on Lamp.
4. Kill Troll. Again, until he's done in. Leave his Axe. Drop all but Lamp.
5. Get Painting. Exit Studio into Kitchen. (Can carry only two objects from Studio.) Start putting Treasures into
Trophy Case, but carry the Egg so that Thief may steal it (so be sure to get it!).
6. With Rope and Lamp, Tie Rope to Rail. Climb Rope. Get Torch. Turn Off Lamp (conserve it wherever
possible). Should Thief steal Torch before you get the Diamond, go to Steps 19 through 21. Otherwise, it's
advantageous to have Thief steal you blind! Leave Bell, Book and Candle for now.
7. Get Coffin. Pray (at Altar). Trap Door will now stay open rather than locking shut on entry. In Clearing or
Behind House, Open Coffin. Get Sceptre.
8. Wave Sceptre. Get Pot of Gold. Add Gold, Coffin and Sceptre to the Trophy Case.
9. Get All (Wrench, Screwdriver and Tube of Gunk). Push Yellow Button to enable the Console in the Lobby. The
Brown Button disables it. Pushing the Blue Button will flood the joint, but gives you a few moves to get out.
10. Turn Bolt With Wrench, opening Sluice Gates. Drop Wrench.

Trident.) Launch. Wait or Look until you drift South to Buoy. Get Buoy. Land. Open Buoy. Get Emerald. Don't
push your luck by going further South; it's a long way down! The Sceptre and Trident are tough on Rubber
Boats, but the Tube of Gunk can Repair Boat.
12. Dig Sand With Shovel until you find Scarab. Drop Shovel. Either walk over Solid Rainbow or carry Boat to
Sandy Beach. Launch. West (to White Cliffs). Park Emerald and Scarab in the Trophy Case. Head back for
more with the Lamp, Torch and Matches. Temporarily drop off the Screwdriver.
13. Echo. Get Platinum. Both Platinum and Coffin are especially heavy, so that you can carry relatively fewer
objects.
14. With Bell, Book and Candle from Altar area, Drop Candles, if lit. Ring Bell. Hold Candle (Light Candle with
Match, if necessary). Read Book. Get Crystal Skull. Leave Bell, Book, Candle and Matches. (Use only the
Matches to relight candles. Save Game and try lighting Candles with Torch or Lamp.)
15. With Lamp, Torch and Screwdriver, Drop (or just hold) Garlic in Bat Room. Leave Jade Figurine for now.
16. Put Screwdriver and Torch in Basket. Light Lamp. Don't check out the Gas Room with the Torch! Run down
and Get Coal. Add it to the Basket. Lower Basket.
17. Drop All. You can now go West from the Timber Room.
18. Open Machine. Put Coal in Machine. Close Machine. Turn Switch With Screwdriver. Get Diamond. Reload
Basket with everything except Screwdriver. Pick up Bracelet, Jade Figurine and Basket goodies. Slide down to
Cellar and stow the treasures.
19. With Lamp, Nasty Knife (or Sword), Food, Water and Key, Get Coins. (Save Game and try throwing Rusty
Knife.) Feed Cyclops the Sandwich in the Brown Bag. Give Water to Cyclops. A less elegant but more effective
approach is to say ODYSSEUS. (Read the Prayer Book, and note that the first letters of each line put together
spell out ODYSSEUS.)
20. Key may be used to unlock Grate from inside. Note nice touch if you have or haven't Moved Leaves, which may
also be Burned or Counted.

330
21. Carrying Lamp, Nasty Knife (or Sword), the Jeweled Egg (if it hasn't been stolen already), and all the
Treasures that you can, confront Thief in his Storeroom. Give him each of the Treasures to load and slow him
down. Kill Thief. Again, until he's vanquished. Should you ever try to polish him off elsewhere, earlier in the
game, save the game first, as your chances of success are slim, but finite.
22. With the Clockword Canary (that was in the Jeweled Egg opened by the Thief's nimble fingers), Climb Tree.
Wind Clockwork. Mother Song Bird will come and drop a Brass Bauble, the last of the needed points.
23. Return all Treasures to the Case. If all fifteen are stored, an ancient Parchment will appear. With it, a Secret
Path can be found, and the beginnings of Zork II are revealed.
