GHOULIES

This game has random and chance elements which may it difficult to play. It
also is unnecessarily complex. The objective is to get particular treasures
and carry them (not wear them) to the ferry. There are several places you can
die after a few moves, so either leave or perform an action. This walkthrough
earns 80%, and does not visit all the locations. Periodically you need to
rest and/or eat, which will make you stronger. Sometimes you are too weak,
and will automatically rest. Certain actions will cost you many strength
points (like opening the furnace and being thrown across the room), others
will only cost a few (getting thrown into the pond). (It is unfortunate that
you cannot check your status.) You will come across many characters randomly
many of whom are irrelevant, but some take some of your items.
The items you need to have at the end: crown, ring, ruby, pouch, wand.
