Magical Journey
By Peter Kirsch
For Tandy TRS-80
Solution by Garry Francis
----------------------------------------
This is a minimal solution. You can't EXAMINE or LOOK AT anything, so don't bother trying.
Your objective is to find 17 treasures, then return to your starting location. Each treasure is
stored in your sack. Once you get a treasure, you can't see it, use it or drop it again, so
make sure you take a note of which treasures you've collected.
There is no score, so the solution gives a count of the treasures collected shown in parentheses as
+A=B, where A is treasure collected and B is cumulative treasures collected.
There are a few one-way exits from which there is no return, so make sure you have everything you
need before going through them. These are located at the room with the soft ground, the top of the
hill with the hang glider and the end of the tunnel with the push button. The last one ends the
game, so make sure you have all 17 treasures before using that one.
Your inventory is limited to 5 items (not counting treasures), so drop items as soon as you are
finished with them. No objects are needed a second time.
A few optional moves are shown in parentheses. These can be omitted once you know what to do.
