A mismatch between cover and content. My packaging had a hooded figure mounted astride a green monster overlooking a castle.

The reality is a wander through a garden via the greenhouse, shed and into a house.

Yes, there is more but it becomes apparent that the setting is quite ordinary.

However, once the program is judged on its own merits one discovers an interesting adventure of medium difficulty.

Although very little assistance is given in terms of vocabulary this presents few problems. A lot of HELP is given at different stages of the game.

The fun, of course, is in the discovery of objects and treasure. This is an all-text adventure which runs smoothly and responds quickly enough on entering of commands.

A nice touch is the score which can be obtained at any stage and a final comment on how well you rate as a treasure hunter.

Recommended if you want a reasonable start to this type of game but once it's completed there are no surprises.

M.P.
