Catacombs
by Brian Cotton (Supasoft)
Solution - Original PET version.
This solution is for the original PET version. There is a later "Classic Quests" version
for various computer platforms that expands on the original game, this solution may offer guidance
for some puzzles in the later version but there is enough difference between the two versions that
the "Classic Quests" version needs its own solution.
Note that there is a potentially game locking bug. If you come across a wearable item do not GET
ITEM ... WEAR ITEM ... DROP ITEM as this messes up the inventory limit. Instead WEAR ITEM ... DROP
ITEM, or if you have already picked up the item DROP ITEM ... WEAR ITEM ... DROP ITEM.
