FANTASTIC FOUR – HUMAN TORCH & THING
Written by Scott Adams (Questprobe III)
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (C64 Version)

Scenario
Your task is to free Alicia Masters from Doctor Doom.

Notes
1. You must switch between Torch and Thing in order to complete the game. 
2. It is recommended that you save often. 
3. Examining the watch shows your total moves and percentage of rest. WAITing 
restores strength.
