Treasure Island =============== Introduction ------------ Find the treasure in this colourful graphical adventure game. It's compulsive and such fun to play! On a remote desert Isle in the Pacific, Captain Hook, the meanest pirate that ever lived, buried his treasure many years ago...! By giving commands to your Lynx in reply to the cryptic questions it asks, try and find the hidden treasure. It's not easy and there are many dangers and pitfalls for you to negotiate before the Magic Isle will give up its treasures to you!!! Game Controls ------------- Give commands to the computer in reply to the questions it asks you by typing in instructions. There are four commands: TAKE; USE; DROP; DO NOTHING To do nothing press SPACE and then RETURN. If you execute one of the commands TAKE, DROP, then type, e.g. USE SWORD Please note the space between the command and the object. When the computer asks you "Which way now?" give it a direction by typing in the first letter of the words NORTH, SOUTH, EAST or WEST. Notes ----- On this Magic Island, anything that you drop will return to its original position on the Island. One clue to help you: the map has had its directions torn off, leaving only the number of paces, but remember the directions were in *alphabetical order*!!! Good luck - and be careful. Magic Islands are full of witches... and above all try not to fall into the sea...!! Loading ------- LOAD"TREASURE ISLAND" (RETURN) Once the first part of the program has loaded, stop the tape.
