AFRICAN ESCAPE (Bruce Robinson) This is a short game with some rather awkward commands. (You begin in a desert) INVENTORY (carrying a knife and some food), CUT CACTUS (the water inside lets you see straight), LOOK (now you see an oasis), GO OASIS, CLIMB TREE, GET COCONUT, THROW COCONUT (where?), LIONS (they flee), GO OASIS, GO WEST (you're sinking into quicksand), YELL (cannibals pick you up for dinner), DIG (with what?), KNIFE (into the silver mine), GO WEST, GET VINES, GO MINE, TIE VINES (to what?), SUPPORT BEAMS, GO WEST, PULL BEAMS (the mine is reduced to a pile of rubble), LOOK RUBBLE, GET ROCKS, THROW ROCKS (where?), STREAM, CROSS STREAM (via the rocks to the village), FEED NATIVES (they hand you a flute in return), LOOK CAVE (you see some snakes and some tar), CHARM SNAKES, GO CAVE (the snakes have been hypnotized), GET TAR, GO WEST, GO SHIP (the hull is leaky), THROW TAR, LEAKY HULL (with this obvious command you repair the ship and head on home!)
