Majik

The time has come to depart, for you must seek out and rescue Prince Gideon from the evil clutches of Dolmir and so prevent Dolmir's intended domination of the Haven of the Western Reaches.

The Story So Far

King Markham lies on his deathbed but is holding on in the desperate hope that he will be reunited with his only son and heir, Prince Gideon, before finally passing over. However, it is thought that Gideon is being held captive in the evil clutches of Dolmir - for only Gideon can unit the Clans of the Reaches and prevent Dolmir's intended domination.

You, The Great Magician Piradon, have been commanded to seek out and rescue Gideon, but this will be a most difficult task as your magical powers will be very limited in the lands you are about to journey...

Gameplay

The top four arrow icons allow movement in that direction. If an exit is available, it changes colour to white; if it's not available it is coloured red. The fifth top icon allows access to the verbs. If you select this icon then the graphic clears and the verb window appears. To exit the verb window select EXIT and click Fire.

Some special verb commands are:

1. EXIT
   This exits from the verb window, reprints the graphic window and returns control to the main icons.
2. VIEW
   Look at an object in your possession.
3. LOOK
   Look at a person.
4. EXAM
   Look at an object in the text window.
5. SEARCH
   A more powerful variant of EXAM
6. SPEAK
   Allows you to communicate with any of the characters. This command should be used to the full.
7. MAJIK
   This special command performs a magical feat and the result will depend upon what situations arise at any one time. This is an automatic command.
8. WAIT
   Allows for a passage of time.
9. SLEEP
   Refreshes you when tired.

Any objects present in a location are displayed in the OBJECT window. Any people present - including you yourself - are displayed in the PEOPLE window.

To select the object or person, move the highlight up or down and fire to select. Whenever you are building up a sentence, a response window appears across the top of the screen.
