Golden Figures of Death
Dream World Adventures
F. Freemantle
Spectrum 48
The cancellation code to the bomb planted be M. Adder are hidden in
three figures. Your goal is to find the figures, and enter the code to
dismantle the bomb.
This game has three tricky maze-like puzzles where you cannot drop
objects to map the maze. While typing HELP gives some verbs, when and
how to use them is more complicated as their use is not always obvious.
There are three venues to visit and all objects needed are found there,
so there is no unnecessary retracing of steps. There are also several
locations where time is of the essence as you die if you do not move
quickly.
TAKE is not recognized – use GET.
LOOK is not the same as EXAMINE. Neither is SEARCH.
Several three and four word phrases are needed.
