Notes:-

In the lift, the exponentiation character "^" needs to be typed. On a ZX 
Spectrum this is done with <SYMBOL-SHIFT>-<H>. On SpecEmu for example, it is 
<CTRL>-<H> although other emulators' modifier key mappings do vary.

There are a handful of puzzles in the game which allow access from one room to
another, for example "lay beam over gap" in "narrow ledge" or "squeeze
through 
hole" in "cave with stalactites" however none of these need be solved to 
complete the game. This is beacause they only lead to rooms to which the player 
already has access simply by walking around the map.

Line 745 of the BASIC listing reads:-
745 LET SCR=100: GO SUB 825: CLS : PRINT "CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE"'"REPAIRED 
YOUR SHIP AND ARE ON"'"YOUR WAY HOME": GO TO 710
This is the ending to "Steve Silver Adventure 1" which has been left in the 
listing of the sequel. Although it cannot apparently be accessed on playing 
Steve Silver 2.
