Synopsis
Plot
You awake, dazed and confused, in the middle of a desert. You had been learning the techniques of sorcery from an old man. The old man told you that an evil Sorcerer, a "diablero", had become his enemy. Now, your teacher is missing and you are alone. Worse still, you cannot remember those spells you had already learnt.
Welcome to the world of El Diablero, here you must learn to acquire and use magical power, in preparation for the final conflict with your enemy.
Notes
A fairly tough game, El Diablero is based on the works of Carlos Castaneda, though not on any specific book.
Remember to read the instructions, they give at least one clue to help you get started, they also tell you how to move. To go N, E, or S you can either use the up, right, and down arrow keys respectively, or type GO NORTH, etc. To go W use the @ key, or type GO WEST. (On CoCo and Dragon keyboards the left arrow key doubles as the delete key, and the @ key is to the immediate left of the left arrow key.)

The location descriptions may be sparse but they tend to add to the atmosphere of being confused and alone in a desert.
