1. Introduction
===============================================================================
The Arnold the Adventure series is a trilogy of interactive fictions adventures
on the ZX Spectrum made by Delbert the Hamster Software. The second game was
published in 1991, and the aim is to rescue Winthorpe the wizard from a large
spider and once again to defeat the evil Schwartze. There are many more
locations than in the first game, although not all need to be visited. Deaths
occur often if the wrong location is visited or the wrong action is performed,
making it important to save frequently in this game. There are plenty of
inventory items to use and interesting characters to meet along the way.
