An illustrated booklet helps to visualize the many scenarios of this textual adventure game. Look closely and you might find the essential clues for solving the many puzzles.

This is a very good quality text adventure that is an amusing romp from start to ..... wherever you get stuck. Written in BASIC you can cheat a lillie, not a lot, and peek at some of the data statements - but of course you wouldn't do that!

A nice feature is the split screen, which shows the current situation, inventory and the responses to your statements. A save game facilty allows you to carry on from where you left off.

Essentially all these games must remain a mystery so I won't give anything away. However, it does offer a real incentive whereby if you solve the puzzle of the crypt you will gain clues to other adventures coming soon!

It's got plenty to keep you guessing, it's very entertaining and it's something that has absorbed a lot of my time. Salamandar has maintained its usual high oualitv but it is a bit pricey. Hold on to the carrots and good luck!
