INSTRUCTIONS/ORIGINAL INLAY CARD TEXT
When a friend loses his eggcup you may laugh. When a king loses
his eggcup you may fake some sympathy. But when God loses his
Golden Eggcup there is nothing to do but go and find it. With
stunning graphics of every location, a fully intelligent parser
and a plot closer to Edward Lear then King Lear there is nothing
more you could want.

HINTS/CHEATS
Collect every object from the temple and drop it through the hole
in the beanstalk room to ensure that you can complete the game. 
Ensure that you have means of payment before crossing the lake
with the 
ferryman.

SEQUELS AND PREQUELS
A sequel is promised at the end called "Egg Of The Phoenix" but
this never happened. This will be available in the up and coming
pc version.
