This adventure, in which the hero has to find treasures and return them to Camelot, combines features found in many different types of adventures.

For example, there are puzzles to be solved, including the usual one of discovering what words the program understands.

Its vocabulary is allegedly 160 words, but I haven't found them all. This means the program has a lot of potential- but there may be up to seven seconds delay as the program checks your input.

As well as all the standard text adventure features, this game allows a degree of combat, though the dragon was rather easy to kill.

Some locations are illustrated by a picture in the top left corner of the screen. There are no interactive or moving graphics however, and no real-time action.

A 'save' facility is included.

All in all, quite a good state-of-the-art adventure, which will get a great deal of play. My only criticism is the lack of originality in subject matter.
