*** Bugs ***
The game has a few bugs, one of them was fatal(not recognizing the verb tie). I've have fixed
the most serious ones and uploaded a fixed version to CASA.
Below a list of bugs I encountered and how I changed them:
3050 IFS$<>"TE"THEN3110
3050 IFS$<>"TIE"THEN3110
3160 IFS2$=" OPIUM"THENPRINTA$(5):GOTO1000
3160 IFS2$="OPIUM"THENPRINTA$(5):GOTO1000
3350 O(22)=4:O(13)=R:PRINT"EUREKA!! WE'VE FOUND IT!!! THERE'S "
3350 O(22)=11:O(13)=R:PRINT"EUREKA!! WE'VE FOUND IT!!! THERE'S "
Don't look at your inventory while carrying the bug tied to the string because you will get an
error.
