1.                                Introduction

===============================================================================


Made in 1995 by John Metcalf, 4K Adventure is a tiny text adventure that was
written in Assembly. You play as Grimbis, a dwarf who has been given the task
of retrieving Gawyn's orb, a magical orb that keeps the land in a permanent
winter. The orb has been stolen by the elves and hidden somewhere in the
forest. The game is very easy and all of the items are found simply by moving
between the locations and examining the objects in the area closely.

===============================================================================


The game starts in the depths of the forest. Move EAST and NORTH to the windy
track. EXAMINE BUSH to find Gawyn's orb. GET ORB. Move EAST to the eastern edge
of the forest. EXAMINE ICICLE to see a moonbeam. GET MOONBEAM. Move WEST, SOUTH
twice and EAST twice to the cavern. GET FUNGUS. Move WEST and SOUTH to the pool
of water. GET KEY. Move NORTH, WEST, NORTH twice and WEST to the door. UNLOCK
DOOR with the key. DROP MOONBEAM or the ice will melt in the meadow. Move NORTH
and WEST to the brook. EXAMINE BROOK to see pebbles and stones. EXAMINE PEBBLES
to find a knife. GET KNIFE. Move EAST and SOUTH to the door. GET MOONBEAM. Move
SOUTH and WEST to the east bank of the river. EXAMINE BOAT to see that it is
tied to a strong post. CUT ROPE with the knife to guide the boat across to the
west bank of the river. Move WEST to Gawyn's tower to complete the game.
