Adventure

Last modified on July 1st, 2005

There were three separate games entitled "Adventure" released by three separate companies for the Spectrum platform. Abersoft in 1982, Syrtis Software in 1983, and AdventureSoft UK in 1985. I don't currently know to which of these, this help pertains.

When you get well into the cave you'll encounter some nasty dwarves. The first one simply tosses an axe at you, which misses, and runs away. Get the axe as you'll need it when you see the dwarves again. On your second encounter with the dwarves, you'll see one or more, who'll throw knives at you. The first salvo always misses. Toss the axe at a dwarf, fetch it again, and keep tossing until you've killed all the dwarves present. You'll need to do this each time a dwarf appears. If you don't, you'll be killed (be sure to retrieve the axe after you've killed the last dwarf that's with you.)

Don't worry if a pirate appears and steals your treasures from you. You'll find them again later on.

You are standing in front of a building. Enter the commands in the order listed below, except deal with dwarves whenever they appear.

If all went well, you have finished with a maximum score.

If the pirate never appears, you probably won't make it when you reach the dead end where the chest is supposed to be, you could backtrack (if you know how) through the maze and then forward again until he appears. If this takes too many turns your lamp batteries will wear out before the end game, and then it's tough beans.
