A text adventure set in a valley in the wilderness. The object of the game is to find the Diamond of Zandor which is in a city hidden somewhere in the valley.

Mode 7 is used for the display, and it makes good use of colour for a clear display. There are even several Teletext-style graphic pictures and sound effects scattered throughout. The standard set of commands - North, South, etc - are used. The rest must be picked up as you go along. A function key label is provided for the basic commands.

Some short sentences are allowed, such as Walk North to the trees, and there is even a help command for times of trouble. If necessary, it is possible to cheat by examining the listing, but this may spoil your enjoyment as there are many puzzles to solve and obstacles to overcome.

Objects are scattered around to help you in your quest, including such unlikely things as a teddy bear and a workman's drill. To say more would give the game away.

Easy for experienced adventurers, but novices will find it a challenging and absorbing game which will take days to solve.
