An average adventure game - no graphics, limited sound, more or less usual commands and messages, save game feature, etc. One feature missing is the Help facility. If you need help, you will have to send an SAE.

You are Lieutenant Roger Wilcoe, parachuted into occupied France in 1941 on a dangerous mission. On landing, your equipment - torch, binoculars and so on - are scattered throughout the woods. You must gather them together and then infilitrate a Chateau and steal six items relating to a new bomb and take them back to Blighty. Quite an interesting plot.

I wandered about and recovered a few items, passing a menancing-looking guard at the main entrance. At that point, I wandered off into the "dark, misty woods" looking for a weapon or something to bribe him with. Eventually, Lt. Wilcoe found himself in a cobbled courtyard and music began. Not being very cultured, I didn't recognise the tune but I suppose it must have been significant. This tune carried on and on and there was nothing either Wilcoe or I could do to stop it or to continue!!
