No prizes for guessing from the title that this is an adventure game. A novel feature though is that the single cassette has a version for the C64 on one side and the Vic-20 (+16K) on the other. If this feature were more generally adopted, it would make eventual upgrading of the Vic-20 to a C64 more attractive...

This is a classic text-only adventure game in which instructions are provided in lower-case letters, with some use of colour. You are attempting to retrieve the magical firestone which was guarded by an evil dragon. Before you can engage the dragon in battle you must collect a complete suit of armour, the various pieces being scattered throughout the land... and hence the adventure starts.

All the ingredients of the enjoyable adventure appear to be present. One criticism, however; there's no save-to-tape option so you must start afresh each time you come back to it.
