HOW TO PLAY

A ButtonWare Adventure is a fictional novel in which you are the main character. You will be given a quest which you must successfully complete. You may also be asked to collect treasures during your travels.

Your PC will become your guide. It will tell you what it sees and hears, and will obey your commands, (most of the time). Although it speaks fluent English, it has trouble understanding long sentences. Please limit your commands to not more than two words, with the verb as the first word (e.g. throw ball). If the computer does not know or understand a word, it will tell you so. In that case, please use another word of similar meaning.

We strongly advise you to build a map during your travels so that you can easily return to previously explored areas.

The computer will give you the following information at the start of each round of play:

1. A description of your current location.

2. Items that you can see at this location.

3. Directions in which you can move (n-north, s-south, e-east, w-west, u-up, d-down)

4. Treasures will be marked by an '*' before and after the word.

You must then respond by typing the action you wish to perform.
