Synopsis

Once upon a time, many years ago before YOP schemes were invented and the Manpower Services Commision was but a twinkle in a civil servant's eye, young lads were apprenticed to masters. Now, this is your once-in-a-lifetime chance to become apprenticed to a sorcerer.
Unfortunately, the sorcerer has whisked himself away on holiday leaving your in change of the practice. At first, all goes well but then the mischievous brooms decide to flood your reservoir. With the aid of your magic wand, you must nudge the brooms into dropping the water, but take care if you fail, the brooms will multiply.
Ultimately, you must go to the sorcerer's castle to find the appropriate spell to halt the brooms in their tracks. While you're there, take some time off to play with a whole variety of spells. Who knows, if you become a frog, a princess might appear and turn you into a prince; on the other hand, she might not!

Notes

In two parts, only the second one is an adventure.

I'm actually surprised there isn't a solution here?

The issue with this game is you first have to play a very boring and frustrating arcade style game (and defeat all three levels) before you can play the text adventure on side 2 of the tape. You are given a special password after getting through all three levels which let's you play the text adventure.

Has anyone ever solved this text adventure?

I've gotten about 90% of the way, but I'm at an impass and can't finish it!

Any help would be much appreciated.

Wow, that was fast!

Thanks so much for the map. You must be an advanced adventurer ; )

It seems I got stuck at lcation 58 on your map - I don't what to give Pegasus to move forward?

Look forward to reading your solution.

I solved the game. I learnt from the manual you have to use the command IN BOOK to put the spells in the magic book. Only with a full book you can end the game. The answer to your question is the golden apple.
