The City Of Ehdollah (Goldstar)

You have been brought to the ruined city of Ehdollah by a lust for treasure, but unfortunately this greed may lead not to fame and fortune but serve only to bring about your downfall. Among the ruins of this city lie many dreamed-about treasures to recover, but your main aim is to find and capture the Sacred Ruby, guarded by Meglin the wizard. To accomplish this task, you must kill Meglin. If you succeed, you will be acclaimed throughout the known universe as 'Supreme Galactic Adventurer'.

Throughout your search you will encounter strange beasts in dark and mysterious areas, should you attack? or retreat to safety and conserve your precious energy? Combat is in real time so you must be quick to think over your next move, or else your attacker will decide for you. If you run out of stamina then the gods will claim you and you will have failed in your quest. To regain stamina you must eat, but you only have six meals with you.

If you make it alive and recover the# Sacred Ruby, the hardest part is yet to come. Getting in may have proved tough but getting out is the hardest part of all.

The City Of Ehdollah is an interesting new text adventure game which has over 100 words in its vocabulary. With the tape you get a booklet which gives a short history of the events surrounding the City of Endollah and helpful hints for novice adventurers. An enjoyable game.
