KIDNAPPED (?)
Inspired by an entry on the discussion board, I decided to have a
go at this game. It's quite probably the easiest adventure game
I've ever played. Hmm… of course, King's Ransom is even shorter,
but this certainly comes in a close second.
The plot is non-existant but revolves around a simple setup which
has you locked on the 9th floor of a building. You have to make
your way down to the ground floor. All floors have to be solved
seperately.

S, GET KEY (with the broom), N, W, S, READ GRAFFITI (a warning),

PRESS BUTTON
Floor 8: S, GET PILL, N, W, W, GET ROPE, E, DROP PILL (into the
aquarium), GET PIRANHA, E, S, DROP PIRANHA (it devours the poor
dog!!), E, TIE ROPE, CLIMB ROPE
Floor 7: W, GET GLUE, GET STEP, E, S, E, E, GET SHEET (of
copper), W, W, N, N, MAKE KEY, GET KEY, S, E, OPEN DOOR (with the

BALLOON, TIE BALLOON, S, W, CLIMB LEDGE, JUMP
Floor 5: W, S, GET NEEDLES, N, N, GET YARN, S, E, E (there's a

douse the fire – you remove your wet clothes), KNIT CLOTHES (you
quickly produce a new set), N, N, GET KEY, S, W, OPEN DOOR, GO
DOOR, CLIMB STAIRS
