BEYOND ELDORADO
Written by Laurence Creighton (August 1995)
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (Spectrum Version)
Scenario
Amongst the bills, letters and junk mail in your post one day, is a letter from an old tribal chief.
We have heard of your aptitude in solving and writes a letter of plea to you... He tells you that
the airloom of his tribe, the Golden Key of Klef, has been missing for aeons. This key, he states,
would unlock the door of a vast treasure-room which would bring great wealth to an impoverished
people. You accept the challenge with our wits your total inventory.
Notes
1. It is random whether or not the spider bites you so save the game often.
2. Save the game then type VIRUS to see what happens!
