The Golden Crown By Julia Battle For Atari ST & BBC Solution by Garry Francis ---------------------------------------- This is a minimal solution. The game has a bug in the map that allows you to bypass the castle guard. If you take advantage of this, then you can skip all the puzzles to the east of the king's palace. However, I don't think this is what the author intended, so I've assumed that there is no connection between the kitchen and the main hall, hence you have to get past the guard to access the main hall. Note that there are no abbreviations, there's no INVENTORY command (but your belongings are listed after every move) and you can't drop anything. (Enter your name) EAST SOUTH (elf's house is on fire) SOUTH TAKE BUCKET WEST WEST WEST FILL BUCKET EAST EAST EAST NORTH THROW BUCKET (fire's out, elf gives you a bag of gold) NORTH NORTH TAKE PASS (shopkeeper takes your gold in exchange for pass and cloak) SOUTH SOUTH SOUTH WEST WEST NORTH NORTH NORTH EAST TAKE DAGGER WEST SOUTH SOUTH KILL TROLL TAKE SCROLL EXAMINE SCROLL (it says SHAZAM) NORTH NORTH SHAZAM (hidden door slides open) WEST TAKE KEY EAST SOUTH SOUTH WEST WEAR CLOAK NORTH (guard lets you past now that you have pass and are wearing cloak) UNLOCK SAFE (with silver key) TAKE CROWN SOUTH SOUTH EAST EAST NORTH NORTH (king takes crown and you are knighted) ***THE END***
