Synopsis

Plot

The game takes place in the deserted town of Coarsegold, where an old man named Cranston hid sixteen valuable treasures in his mansion before he died. You play an unnamed adventurer in the game who is determined to restore Coarsegold to its former glory by collecting the sixteen treasures from the mansion.

Notes

The game was originally produced, by Artworx, for the Atari 400/800 systems as text only and written in BASIC.

A CP/M version of the game (CP/M with MBASIC) is listed in the Dynacomp Summer 1981 catalog.

The original game was later licensed by Sierra, who ported the data objects across and added graphics.

The Museum of Computer Adventure Game History has a statement from Larry Ledden about the game.

Also available in Japanese.
