SPHINX ADVENTURE
written by Paul Fellows
published by Acornsoft in 1982 (tape) and 1984 (disc)
A step-by-step walkthrough. Tested with both the tape version (v1, 1982) and the disc version (v2,
1984) of Sphinx Adventure for the BBC Micro. (The walkthrough *hasn't* been tested on the
Electron version of the game.)
Notes
-----
1. Whenever your lamp gets dim, RUB LAMP.
2. The first time you encounter a dwarf, you should GET the AXE he throws at you, THROW the AXE back
at him, and then GET the AXE again. Repeat until he's dead. Carry the axe at all times.
Whenever a new dwarf appears, you should THROW AXE and GET AXE repeatedly till he's dead.
3. Sphinx Adventure has no savegame facility, so you should play in an emulator and make liberal use
of savestates!
