Forest

You will need to keep your wits about you if you embark on Forest, an adventure written for the BBC B by Tim Meek of Peterborough.

Starting in the Good Wizard's cave, your mission is to venture into the woods and collect the five magic items which the absent-minded old fool has lost. If you return without them, he will not let you back into this cave, but if you succeed in your quest you will be rewarded with a bag of gold.

As in any self-respecting adventure, there are certain paths to follow, useful objects to be picked up, and dangers such as the dreaded fargly to be confronted. The computer understands simple commands including N, S, E and W for directions and words like take, get, look and drop.
