PARADOX EFFECT
Excalibur Pty. Ltd. Aust.
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (Amiga Version)
Notes:
1. My copy of the game crashed when GO DOWN from the attic was input. Played on a modified version,
where the torch (originally in the attic), has been placed in the laundry.
2. It is important to conserve the batteries in the torch, so don't put them in until you are
ready to enter the mine.
