Written by Jyym Pearson & Norm Sailer (Adventure International) 1981
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (TRS 80 & Apple Versions)
Scenario
You were on patrol when your ship was struck by a ground laser and you have lost your memory. Your
objective is to escape from Traam in one piece.
Notes
1. Escape from Traam is the third in the series of "Other Ventures" from Adventure
International.
2. Understands LOOK not examine.
3. There is a minimum of description and clues in rooms. Typing LOOK gives more information and
should be done every time you enter a new location.
4. To examine objects more closely type LOOK AT............ (object).
5. Typing TALK or LISTEN will often elicit information.
