QUEST FOR THE LAST BAKED BEAN (BBC Micro)
This adventure was written using The Quill and, like many so

casket again after removing the salt or heading southeast
before you have fed the cat).

"You did it! Praise be the world can breathe again and eat
baked beans. This is a great service you have performed." And
all you get for it is a lousy 10p off voucher for your next can
of beans.
Note that there are plenty of ways to die in this adventure,
including: being killed by the cat, bird, slug or giant;
jumping off certain locations; crossing the toffee before it
has set hard; and, swearing twice. You can also make the game
unwinnable by climbing into the pit where the toffee forms or
attempting to take a visible hamster through customs. Also, you
can only carry a maximum of five items. Annoyingly, you have to
die on several occasions in order to discover the solution to a
particular problem.
