Solution by Garry Francis
----------------------------------------
This is a minimal solution. You can't EXAMINE anything. Contrary to what the article and intro
says, your objective is NOT to kill monsters, but to rescue the princess. You will encounter four
monsters in the game. If you try to kill them, you will die. They are quite harmless, providing you
don't spend any more than two moves in the room.
I have no idea what the relevance of the last move is, but that's what you've got to do to
finish the game.
GET MATCHES
W
RING BELL (hand drags you in and door slams shut behind you)
E
THROW MATCHES (across the moat so they don't get wet)
