----------------------------------------
This is a minimal solution. You can't EXAMINE anything, so don't bother trying. Quite a
few situations require you to answer a question to show your knowledge of the history of the area.
This may require a bit of Googling. Otherwise, you can decode the game's files (as I did) or
look at the source code in Adventure Master.
Some optional (but significant) commands are shown in parentheses. These can be omitted once you
know what to do.
(N) (you need to locate a Spanish town on a road map)
(DIG) (you have nothing to dig with)
W (the indians carved these shells as money, what was the money called?)
WAMPUM (correct, you find a large shell)
TAKE SHELL
E
DIG (with shell, you find a map)
TAKE MAP
(READ MAP) (you're near Acline, do you see a town with Spanish name on the map?)
PUNTA GORDA (correct, you can now go north)
N
E
(NE) (a good archeologist would not leave without looking for bones)
(DIG) (you find some pottery, do you want it dated?)
(YES) (which indians buried it?)
SEMINOLE (correct, you can now go northeast)
(TAKE POTTERY)
NE (you're hungry)
(NW) (you can't get past the hungry alligators)
CATCH FISH (you pull several fish onto the river bank)
TAKE FISH
FEED ALLIGATORS (you can now go NW)
NW
(N) (what river do you think this is?)
MYAKKA RIVER (correct, you can now go north)
N (you've got to get a drink)
(DRINK WATER) (you find a Spanish belt buckle in the river)
(TAKE BUCKLE)
N
(N) (you need more evidence)
EAT ORANGES (do Soto ate them and left the seeds, you can now go north)
N
W (you see a circus sign)
(L)
W (pick a sign)
(The game ends here. You are expected to finish it yourself.)
***THE END***
