Blue Dragon

According to legend, somewhere there lies a fabulous treasure guarded by a ferocious Blue Dragon. Your quest in this adventure game is to find the treasure and avoid a fiery end! But first you must journey far into an unknown land where death may be your only reward!!!

Instructions

According to legend, the Sun God has a fabulous treasure which he keeps on an island, guarded by a ferocious blue dragon. Find the treasure and you could be rich beyond your wildest dreams, but first you must find a way to kill the dragon.

Magic may help you in your quest but beware, it tends to be unreliable and may backfire on you. Think carefully before you make a move... it could be your last!!

Playing The Game

The computer acts as your eyes and hands. It tells you where you are and what is happening; you must tell it what to do by typing a command or one or two words. For example, if you find an object that you want to pick up, type TAKE followed by the object name. If you want to move, give the direction you want to go (Directions such as NORTHWEST must be given as NW to distinguish it from NORTH). Entering a dark locatin without a light source is definitely not recommended.

Some of the objects are completely useless whilst others may have more than one purpose; that is for you to find out.

Useful Words

Many of the commands you will have to discover for yourself, but some of the more general ones are given here:

To move, try one of the points on a compass or something like UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, ENTER.

To get or drop some keys, try GET KEYS, TAKE KEYS, DROP KEYS.

If you want the description of a location, type LOOK.

To list your possessions, type LIST. You may find that some objects can be worn as well as carried.

To kill a Goblin (if you have a weapon), try KILL GOBLIN.

Eating and drinking is allowed, but may shorten your life somewhat!!

If you want to save a game and return to it later, insert a suitable tape and type SAVE. Part of the database will be recorded and the game will then continue. To restart a game, Survivor should be loaded and run as usual, the data tape inserted and the command LOAD given. The data will be loaded and the game will recommence. To end the game, type QUIT.

Scoring

The object of the game is to recover the treasure, although you will be awarded ten points for each monster you manage to destroy. To find out your score at any time, type SCORE.
