Quest for the Poorly Snail (Original Docs)



Written by Matthew Wilson





You are a knight. A knight of the square table, but

commonly just known as a sguare. Your quest is to go to

Derlin's castle and bring back the potion of healing, but

watch out, Moron Le Fay's out to get you.



Loading Instructions





The game is separated into three parts, because it is so

large the game data needs to be saved between parts. This data

is then loaded into the next part to continue with the quest.





To load the game





48k LOAD "" 'ENTER'

128 Select 48k mode, then as above.





The game





During the game commands are typed in simple English eg.

EXAMINE THE CALENDER can become EXAMINE CALENDER. The game

understands more than this though eg TIE ROPE TO BARS AND

THEN PULL THEM OFF. If you wish to talk to characters in the

game type SAY TO (BILL) "GO WEST" or whatever you wish to

say.

Examples of some useful eommands are:

SAVE saves game position to tape

LOAD loads game position frorn tape

RAMSAVE saves game data into RAM (the memory)

RAMLOAD loads game data from RAM

INVENTORY lists the objects you are carrying. This command

is often abbrievated to I.

LISTEN describes the sounds around.

SMELL describes the smells.

QUIT ends the game. Something you'll never want to do with

such an addictive game.

HELP. If you get stuck and want help. Don't try this one. If

you want an excuse to smash your computer with a hammer

then...
