Aardvark's Museum

100% Walkthrough by Chris Marriott 
Thanks to my friend Dave for helping to find the last few treasures.

PC version. Playable via eXoDOS - https://www.retro-exo.com/exodos.html

Map available

Notes:
Directions outside of the entrance will lead to a Forest Maze which will place you back at the
start.
Items can be shortened to three letters.
You can only carry limited items.
Type I for Inventory
Type L for Look
Type Score to check total (Max 250).
You get score based on collecting treasure and also dropping it at the two display cabinet
locations.
The Museum is split into two separate areas. 
Instant death is possible in several locations due to a wrong move or command (Try typing xyzzy).
