Troll King

The evil Troll King is holding the Queen captive in his castle and it is your mission, as a brave and fearless hero, to rescue her. But you're not on your own. You carry out your task with the help of a small dwarf who occasionally assists you at various stages of the adventure.

There are no graphics in this game, and colour and sound are hardly used at all.

Unfortunately, there are no instructions either, so you don't find out the object of the adventure until partway through when the dwarf tells you.

A lot of thought has obviously gone into this program, and it has been cleverly written. But as the computer often comes up with the phrase "I don't understand" when you input instructions, it can become very frustrating, and is rather overpriced at £8.
