MALICE IN BLUNDERLAND
Written by Steve Taylor (1985 Spectrum Computing)
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (Spectrum Version)
Scenario
The opening screen tells you it is not so much an adventure, more a bewildering romp into obscurity.
Your aim is to discover the location of the mythical chalice of Blunderland, and to make the
chalice yours. All you know is that the chalice is supposed to be hidden in an underground cave
protected by a vicious monster.
