Starship Retreat
By Steve W Lucas
For Oric
Solution by Garry Francis
----------------------------------------
This is a minimal solution. You need to collect ten *TREASURES* and return them to the loading bay.
Each treasure is worth 1 point. When you've collected all ten treasures, you then have to phone
home for the last point.
Unlike most Steve Lucas games, you can EXAMINE many items for useful info and you can also try HELP
in every room.
Your inventory is limited to three items, so you will have to make at least four trips to the
loading bay. I'd suggest returning three items on the firt two trips and two items on the last
two trips. There seems to be a bug that sometimes prevents you from dropping the key, so don't
get this until the end when you are only returning two items. Oh, and speaking of bugs, like all
Steve Lucas games, this one has plenty of 'em, but they shouldn't prevent you from
finishing the game. It also has lots of red herrings.
Scores are shown in brackets as +A=B, where A is points earned and B is cumulative points earned.
