JACK IN MAGICLAND
Written by P. W. Rogers (Turtle Software 1985)
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (Spectrum Version)
Scenario
You are Jack, the only son of a poor widow and you are on your way to the local market to sell the
one thing of value that you own, namely the family cow. Up to the present time you have been an
idle, lazy boy and our mother was very reluctant to entrust you with so important a task, but you
pleaded to be given this opportunity to do better and she has allowed you to have your way. While
saying goodbye she has explained just how important this sale is, for without a good price you will
be forced to pack up and go.
