The original program made heavy use of the BBC's RESTORE line-number command, but that doesn't seem to work on the MC-10, so I had to use an ugly kludge to get round it. Interesting! The only BASIC I really know is BBC BASIC, so I didn't realise that othe...

Do I definitly need the money to buy the postcards to throw at the troll? Or can I throw something else at the troll? You definitely do need to throw the postcards at the troll. You can't throw anything else at the troll. (Well, you can, but it won't work! Or, to be more precise, I think you can th...

I got stuck looking for the Money..... without the Money I don't think I can get past the troll. Is the location of the Money completely random?
