PROSPECTOR
Tartan Software

This is an interesting, and somewhat difficult game. You can carry 8 
objects and do not need to retrace your steps numerous times. Many 
objects are used more than once, which may require you to retrieve 
them. The hint to first buy the candies (in order to take the nails) 
is valuable. Figuring out exactly how to help the man with the broken 
saw in order to get the most money and getting the hat are also nice 
touches. How you are to know that you need to sharpen the saw and 
razor (before you try and use them and they don't work), and 
especially where you need to sharpen them, are minor problems in an 
otherwise good game that mays attention to details.
