LOST IN THE DESERT
The Guild Adventure Software
NOTES
During the whole game you need to drink water; the timing depends on the number
of your turns (when the message 'this is your last chance to take a drink - you
are dying' appears, you can make two more moves before you MUST drink), so watch
out in this solution if you enter any additional commands of make a typo.
It seems that there's a problem with the boy in the cell; when you pour the
water under the floor plate before night falls it must be possible to take the
boy after daybreak, but that doesn't work, so you will finish the adventure with
a score of only 80%.
