MOONQUAKE
by Laurence Creighton
Spectrum 48

You are on the moon. You need to return to your spaceship, overcome the 
problems, find a 2000 carat diamond and return to Earth.

Hints:
This is not one of Laurence's better games. There are several unnecessary red 
herrings (objects and locations).

You can enter the telescope room and read the VDU and translate the Morse code 
message "remember the diamond" but it is not necessary.

You need some specific verbs:
To find the safe, PRESS the SUN.
To get the note, PRY HAND.
To get a chip, CHOP MONOLITH (with an implement).
To get over the boulder, LEAP BOULDER, not jump. Same thing over the chasm.

Can't see even though you have lit the torch? Maybe there is something blocking 
your vision? RAISE/LOWER the VISOR.

Need a key to start your module? SEARCH the cave.

You may need to repeat some commands more than once (inflating the tyres, firing 
the rifle, digging)

Can't get past the troll? BRIBE him. Can't get past him again on your return? 
DROP the ring soon after you pass him the first time.

If a blinding flare vaporizes you, try again. This is random.
