ATOMIA AKORNEY
Written by Magnus Olsson (1984, 1992)
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (PC Version)
Scenario
The ancient crown of the Akorny family of Transylvanian feudal barons has been stolen, and Count
Akorny has promised that whoever can return the crown to his castle will get his daughter's
hand in marriage. You've just left the gates of Akorny Castle behind you on your quest for the
crown. Not having the foggiest idea of where to find the crown, you feel strangely reluctant to
enter the woods, what with the howling wolves and the rumours of man-eating trolls. However,
there's no turning back, as Count Akorny has no sympathy for cowards and will throw you in jail
if you return empty-handed.
