You are the apprentice of a dying wizard. On his deathbed, the wizened mage charges you with the quest for his magical sword. You must retrieve it and restore its magic by finding the enchanted jewels that endow it with power. Once armed with the wizard's sword, you must rid the land of the evil Medusa.
In the course of your quest, you will meet a dragon, a dwarfish child, a menacing condor and even a famous film celebrity. As the old wizard warned you before he died, you will need to be cunning, clever and brave to fulfill the daunting tasks set for you.
This was adventure #1 in the SoftSide Adventure Series (formerly SoftSide Adventure of the Month Club). It was published as a bonus on SoftSide CV and DV (the cassette and disk versions) with instructions in SoftSide magazine, issue 38, vol. 6, no. 5, February 1983, pp. 50-51 and encoded hints in SoftSide, issue 39, vol. 6, no. 6, March 1983, p. 57.
This is called 'The Wizard's Sword' in the magazine, most of the instructions and the game itself and 'The Wizard's Sword Adventure' in the title screen for the instructions. The latter was written by SoftSide staff, not the original author, so the former is considered to be the correct title.
