DUNGEON OF TORGAR
Pegasus Software
by The Guild (Simon M. Langan)
Spectrum 48
This is a good game with a reasonable number of locations, and not much
backtracking necessary. A few steps need to be done in sequence, but
otherwise order is not important. You soon find out what your objective
is – to collect treasures. There's a twist at the end – you think you are
stuck, and don't yet have all the objects, but you really aren't.
Use the flute before you give it to the leprechaun.
There are several random elements in the game. If you don't run into the
leprechaun again to give him the flute and get some hints, don't worry,
as his hints are useless.
He is very light-fingered, so if you have a key in your possession, move
quickly or he will take it.
SEARCH the wet room.
EXAMINING objects provides clues.
The lamp does not go out (other than when the leprechaun extinguishes
it), so don't panic.
Remember what the eye of the Medusa did? THROW IT AT granite objects.
Objects needed more than once: the demon's eye, the eye of Medusa, the
flute, the carpet.
Objects to ignore: the black ring, the sword, the skeleton.
Don't drop the vase, so save it till the end.
The parser recognizes (and sometimes needs) more than two words. GIVE
<something> TO <SOMEONE>, for example.
