The Treasury of Zan
by R & R Software
A Walkthrough
With thanks to Sky-Non, QN, Joshua Roy, Dick Murchy, Richard Roy, and Amby
(Richard Roy and Dick Murchy wrote the game, Joshua is the son of Richard)
This game must be in the C: partition. (Or if using DOSBox, or similar, then whichever partition the
game is in must be mounted as the C: partition. See DOSBox documentation for details.)
Some parser shortcuts
EX = examine
G = again
L = look
Q = quit
The left taillight is a non-obvious object that is not mentioned in any previous description in the
game.
Important. Pay attention to any SAY instruction, as due to the manner in which this walkthrough is
written the comma after SAY is not shown but must still be typed. (So an instruction of SAY DO THIS
should be typed as SAY, DO THIS.)
