Adventureland

If you have hesitated before, now is the time to rush out and buy your first Scott Adams adventure cartridge at the new low price. Try to pick one nearest to your own fantasies so you feel at home to start with; I am told that Mission Impossible is just that so maybe if you're a novice you should avoid that one. Anything with Dragons in it is right by me, so I got this one (Adventureland) - just before all these other games arrived, so I haven't got very far yet.

All Commodore adventure games have a 'save game' facility so I will have plenty of time to work out whether it is better to let sleeping Dragons lie or to try the rusty magic sword in the hope that a dead Dragon will give up a treasure or two. Decisions, decisions! Adventure gaming seems to be a solitary thing but I don't see why the whole family can't get their heads together over a dungeon or two. Just think of all the arguments you could all have!

Don't forget the large sheet of paper for your map...
