THE WARLOCK OF FIRETOP MOUNTAIN
Written by Steve Jackson & Ian Livingstone
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (C64 Version)
Notes
1. There are a number of "bugs" in this game.
2. In a couple of locations it isn't possible to go in the direction stated and in several
there is no way out at all. This is mentioned in the walk through.
3. When you drink from the bottle, it disappears, although this isn't mentioned.
4. The large key which opens the boathouse door, if examined, becomes the boathouse key and then
WON'T open the door.
5. In the crypt you can examine EITHER the coffin or the altar and as you need the key which is on
the altar the choice is obvious.
6. In the room with the yellow key, when you try to GET KEY a message should appear telling you that
gas is escaping.
