A very good, attractively packaged adventure that is highly recommended. Read Review
For some time now, the Wizard of Anadon has gradually been growing weaker. Now the time has arrived when he can no longer guarantee that his power is sufficient to protect the land. Reports grow of fire-breathing monsters terrorising hamlets all over the land and carrying off many scores of the land's people to their death.
In order to banish evil once more and restore the Wizard's power, you must gather all five parts of the great stone circle of Anadon. Only if you can transfer all five parts to the place where the magix is powerful can you hope to save the land.
But beware! Whilst the wizard is but weak he can help reveal the five stones to you, but should be weaken further they will be no longer visible! You will then still be able to gather them but your task will be a thousand fold harder.
Remember, if the Wizard should die then you will have failed in your task.
To load this adventure, simply place the cassette in your recorder and ensure that the tape is fully rewound. Now type: CHAIN"" and press RETURN. Let the tape run and answer NO (N will suffice) to the question as to whether you wish to load a prior game or not. The adventure will then load as the second file on the tape and start automatically.
Should you wish to save the game so far at any time, then simply type in SAVE as your response to the prompt. Note that many useful words which the game understands are set up for you so that a single press of a function key will produce the full response.

Playing this 'adventure classic' is easy, but it may take you many months to solve. The computer will describe locations to you and ask you for instructions. You can move in all the main compass directions for instance, and the program will understand short forms (such as N for NORTH) as well as in fuller form. In general though, the computer will soon tell you if it doesn't understand what you ask of it.
If at any time you should feel at a loss, then typing HELP may lead to the computer supplying you with some useful information of hints and tips. Then again it may not...
Do not think that the task before you is an easy one... Many before you have tried and none have yet returned.
