To obtain graphics on a Dragon requires the computer to be in Dragon 64 mode, otherwise the game is text only.

Has some design inconsistencies compared to other games in the series: SEARCH <location> makes some new objects appear even if SEARCH just says there is nothing there, the world is segmented to hamper back-tracking, and repeating a command several times may be needed with no prior hint of that. Very few puzzles.
I played the Plus4 version and I like the graphics. Good adventure.
