This is one quest most definitely not worth girding your loins for. The whole thing is exceptionally tedious. Read Review

Full Instructions
Game Objective
A humorous (insane) adventure game set in and around an old castle.
It's up to you... Your mission to rescue the Staff of Gamroth and return to the safety of the castle drawbridge with it. As the interpid hero of our adventure game you find yourself outside CASTLE ADVENTURE. At this point we must leave you, for we have entered and found its evil secrets. The sane ones who survived can only utter warnings. Are these accurate? We do not know.
We have heard them speak of fountains and mad organists, of trap-doors and sea-dragons. Their sentences become a strange mixture of fact and fiction... keep remembering it's a castle... pull out all the stops... I was thirsty... what goes up must come down... I could hear music... Gamroth...
There are over 120 different locations to explore and over 100 objects to examine and manipulate.
The adventurer can move North, South, East, West, Up and Down. Instructions are given by using a verb and a noun.
Note: There is only one solution, but more than one way of arriving at it!
Good luck and guard your sanity with care!
