Notes

Originally published as a BASIC listing in the book BASIC Fun With Adventure Games (link) from Avon Camelot Books, specifically targeting the Apple IIe/II plus and IBM PC (DOS 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0). The book encourages the reader to adapt the adventure for other BASICs, if necessary.

The game was presented as a standard version with an additional chapter containing several optional improvements and enhancements; such as adding additional obstacles.

A port exists for C64.

James O'Grady has produced a port of the game for the ZX Spectrum; which can be downloaded from his website.
