PAST THE CYCLOPS LAIR
by Matthew Wilson
Spectrum 48

Your quest is to find the way to a new land through the mountains, but to do 
this you will need to find the jewelled mace.

This game has many unnecessary places to visit. However, you can die without 
food if you take too long, and thus the need to find it. You will need the 
dagger for that. 

The gold you take from the tree: when you return it is there again. 

You don’t actually need the spade to dig.

As there are random elements when you attack the enemy, a complete solution 
can’t be given. Since it’s a short game, allow yourself to be resurrected and 
try again.

Kill the goblin.
Take the rope.
Examine the river.
SMELL and EXAMINE what you see west of the shop.
Buy a lantern.
LIGHT the lantern and LASSO Branch at the river. 
Kill the son of Cyclops.
Take the spade.
Kill the Cyclops, and DIG there.
The last piece of the mace will then be at the gate.

You are finished. Score: 10% 
On another attempt I got 20%.
