PAST THE CYCLOPS LAIR
by Matthew Wilson

NOTES
In order to be able to eat the food, you have to POKE 47093,43 or 42355,40 (due 
to an error in the Low priority conditions table respectively the Verbs table). 
In this walkthrough you visit only the locations that are necessary to solve the 
adventure.
If you don't dig after killing the Cyclops you'll find the middle of the mace in 
the next location (the cave to the east).
If you get killed by the Goblin or the Cyclops or his son, just start over as 
this is a very short game.

SOLUTION
(you start at the edge of a cliff) S, S, SMELL, KILL (repeat if necessary), GET 
ROPE, U, EXAMINE, GET GOLD, E, E, SMELL, EXAMINE REFUSE, GET MACE, E, BUY

pieces of the jewelled mace and the doors open, well done! Your score is 10% 
[!]).
