1 which is the last treasure. Go back to the canyon, BEAM MEto return to the space ship, pick up the card and go to the utility room. You should now have eleven treasures. All that remains is to find the dymethi-um ingots to get your own ship going again.
1 utility room for later use. On the north wall of the engine room you will find a grille - unscrew it, but do not go north. This leads into a diabolical maze of air conditio-ning tubes, but this is the way
1 to bring them, the mirror and the bulb. To the south of the library is the study where you should examine the drawing (thisis one of the few times when theexamine command elicits a usefulmessage.
1 the helm. Take the bulb and go east, south and down and get theoctopus. Going north, west and up will bring you to familiar territory. Go back to the hut, read the sign and drop the helm to complete the game.
1 the diamond in the small store north of the archive room. Thesemust be taken and dropped in theutility room to increase your score, but as you can only carryfive items, this means a couple of trips.
1 space suit. You will need the space suit again later, as you have to go out to find the pirates and get the one treasurethey have with them.
1 slot in the SE door. This leads to the armoury and the laser rifle.
1 self in the engine room. In the control room to the east, you will see an anti-grav raft, which will follow you if you press the button.

Torch on, then tie cord, tie rope and go down to the south end of the hold.
1 sacrifice the frog with the dagger. The dagger will now explode in a fountain of light creating a beautiful jade frog and several rare gems, plus at the same time slowing the water-fall to reveal a hidden cave. Transport the frog and the gems back to the house.
1 return to the black pearl you passed earlier and transport it.
1 place, although some locations have two way exits, so it is best to map this area separate- ly. There are six locations on the north edge and six down on the east edge, with another eleven locations in between.
1 patio. I'll give you one tip about this game - you'll have todress up as Father Christmas so don't overlook the shaving foam!
1 paint spray before swinging away on his web. Take the remotecontrol unit. Return to the time
1 out. The way to go into the maze, which you have to do to find the cord and another treasure (pearls) is through thegrille on the west wall of the communications room.
1 no, well, game over!
1 machine, not forgetting to turn off your lamp to pass the octopus.
1 in the captain's cabin and get you a jewel. One more treasure to take to the utility room is the Lattice from the communicat-ions room and then you are readyto don your space suit and go out to find the pirates and the last treasure.
1 impressed with your show of coolhe raises his thumb and a eunochopens a trapdoor thinking you are to be spared. Caesar realises his mistake and throws his golden laurels at you which you catch as you dive into the opening. God, You're lucky!

1 going into the maze again! But you won't get lost if you follow these directions - W,W,W,S,NW to dymethium chamber. OPEN FREEZER, GET INGOTS, PUT INGOTS (in freezer), CLOSE FREEZER, go S,N,W,W to the engine room.
1 go NORTH to the crystal orb. Transport it back to the house.
1 down a cliff face without break-ing a glass wand, and getting past a fierce dog.
1 cotton fields to an encounter with a griffin. Well, what are you waiting for? You have a dartand a hollow reed. Use them!
1 confronted by an android. Shoot the first one, but let the second one throw you in the brig, as long as you have the card. EXAM DOOR, (you only need the first four letters of any command or object) then PUT HANDTHROUGH BARS, INSERT CARD, then go N,S,U to a couple of moves from the utility room, where youcan leave the rope temporarily.
1 churns in the dairy to find a silver ring and transport it. Inthe barn the geiger counter willemit rapid clicks indicating that something is there so search the straw. You will find a nuclear battery which you should take and then return to the time machine.
1 choice will determine what you read on the screen e.g. if you take the part of the mother and go to the shed you will be told-You are not normally allowed into this shed as it is consid- ered to be your husbands domain.
1 bring on the end of the game if you do not have the necessary item to release yourself. You must allow the android to through you in the brig once, because in there you will find arope, which is necessary for thecompletion of the game. But any other time you meet an android, you can shoot it, provided you have found the armoury and armedyourself with a laser rifle.

1 With the exception of the last adventure which is Quilled, all the games were written using theAdventure Building System (see the review of ABS on Tape 4).
1 Why is the hotel locked? How do you deal with a stubborn donkey?Who is the lady in the golden cage?
1 When Tarzan asks you who is king of the jungle say FROG, butfor fun you could also try LION,BOSTAFER, ME, MORDON, JANE, or TARZAN (do you know any more?). In return for the right answer Tarzan will give you a small green frog.
