Pete Cooke's first foray into text adventures. Very coarse, BASIC only and limited by it, but I have seen (and done) worse for first attempts.
I have very fond memories of playing this in the early 80s. This was the first game I managed to solve without any hints. Quite a bit of trial and error involved in dealing with NPCs, but still very absorbing.
