Amstrad
This is best described as a children's game. At the beginning you are
asked if you are a boy or girl rather than a male or female. The puzzles
are straightforward – you are told what to bring, but not where to bring
it. The solution presupposes that you are a girl.
The purpose is to find and bring certain items to the Ringmaster. While on
your travels you will find some objects which may be useful later, you
cannot take some of them until you need them.
All the food items are red herrings, though you need to take one of them.
