Players must find either the sword or the flute, and discover the way to safely enter the dragon's tunnels and neutralise the dragon. To do this they must solve a series of simple problems involving gathering and using the objects that can be found in the various game locations. There are clues to this scattered throughout the game.
Originally written for the BBC Micro and ported to the Commodore PET. The game was later ported to the Archimedes in 1990 and Inform in 2003.

Two Inform versions were produced; a text-only version of the game was produced for the Frotz interpreter; and an enhanced version for Glulxe which included an on-screen map, pictures and sampled sounds.
