Your task is to get your microfilm back and put it in a safe place in your
house.
This is a short game, with a few nice puzzles, and a few interesting ones. It
has far too many red herrings. You can only carry three objects, which, if you
wish to map the maze, and other locations, you will need to retrieve.
Hints:
No light? There are objects around. One of them needs to be a lamp, so GET LAMP
somewhere.
What to do at the tulips? SMELL them? Can't do that? Get rid of the glass.
How to get up the cliff? You will need three objects which are in the vicinity.
The eagle kills you? What is said to be a red herring is not a red herring.
THROW is used a lot in this game.
Solution:
INVENTORY (nothing), N, GET LAMP, LIGHT LAMP, S, GET WHISTLE, W, BLOW WHISTLE
(you shatter the glass), DROP WHISTLE, SMELL TULIPS (you sneeze and knock over a
few things), GET KEY, E, UNLOCK DOOR, DROP KEY, S, W (you see various uniforms),
GET WARDEN, WEAR WARDEN, E, S, (you get through the traffic), S, W, S, W, GET
