TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS - SOLUTION
Zenobi
The game comes in three parts, published by Zenobi and the author was Moonstone
(Diane Rice).
This is a sweet game as the task you are required to perform is to find 12 gifts
and present them to your true love. All the gifts are from the 'Twelve days of
Christmas' so type ST in the intro to remind you of the rhyme.
The HELP command is sometimes useful. It is possible to die and there are a few
tasks that you need to complete in a limited number of moves. There are quite a
few ways to end up with an impossible game to finish if you have not followed
the correct command route. You can only go back to your true loves location if
you are carrying one of the 12 gifts.
