GHOST TOWN
Written by E. L (Ev) Cheney
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (PC AGT Version)
Scenario
You're a prospector looking for gold and have been told by another old prospector of a fabulous
gold mine and an even richer ghost town. While the town is seemingly deserted there have been
rumours of strange noises, gunfights and terrifying screams coming from the place. One local
rancher tells that his daughter (visiting from Boston) disappeared one night.
Notes
1. To get the whisky in the saloon you must type GET WHISKEY (note spelling). Alternatively type
GET ALL and drop what you don't want!
2. I was unable to obtain full score because of the carrying limit.
3. In the undertakers, the girl is supposed to be your light source, but it didn't work for
me!
