Written by Dorothy Millard
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (C64 Version)
Scenario
As a scientist you've completed your experiment against all advice and now you find yourself on
a lonely beach with a purple sky and sea. Even the vegetation is purple. You will meet weird
creatures such as the Purple People Eater, a Purple Cat looking for his socks and a Purple Snake who
isn't happy to see you. Using magic and lots of ingenuity you must find a way to return.

BUCKET, GRIND SHELLS (using the rock), GET GROUND (shells - in the bucket), NE (you start to climb

ends at a sheer cliff), GO ISLAND (you can't walk on water, even if it's purple!), WAIT
(the tide goes out), GO ISLAND, GET ROCKS, EXAMINE ROCKS (these glow and are your source of light,
although they have a limited life once removed from the island), S, E, E, E, E, NE, NE (it is safe
now that the tide is out), S (cave entrance - a large winged purple creature resembling a bat swoops
down and takes the hat off your head), S (into a narrow tunnel where the rocks glow and give light -
