Synopsis

Plot

Demon Adventure is a matter of survival. As a servant in the Duke's castle you know that he has experimented with magic but has had very little success, due to his clumsiness. Unfortunately, one of his spells has worked too well and a demon is loose in the castle. You have hidden in a tower room to escape the demon, but you cannot hide there forever. You must attempt to escape alive from the castle, preferably destroying the demon as well.

Notes

This was originally published as 'Demon' by The U.K. Atari Computer Owners Club as a BASIC type-in listing in Monitor, issue 13, pp. 28–31. It was also available in their software library, first advertised on p. 32 of the same issue.

It was later published as 'Demon Adventure' in Page 6, issue 34, July/August 1988, pp. 63-65. This is essentially the same program, but without the title screen. It has a few bug fixes, better text formatting and inverse video for things like 'You can go' and 'You can see'. It is recommended that you play this version in preference to the original.
