0ìSOMEWHERE NEARBY IS COLOSSAL CAVE, WHEREOTHERS HAVE FOUND FORTUNES IN TREASUREìAND GOLD, THOUGH IT IS RUMORED THAT SOMEWHO ENTER ARE NEVER SEEN AGAIN. MAGICìIS SAID TO WORK IN THE CAVE. I WILL BEìYOUR EYES AND HANDS. DIRECT ME WITHìCOMMANDS OF 1 OR 2 WORDS. I SHOULD WARNYOU THAT I LOOK AT ONLY THE FIRST FIVEìLETTERS OF EACH WORD, SO YOU'LL HAVE TOìENTER "NORTHEAST" AS "NE" TO DISTINGUISHIT FROM "NORTH".ì THIS PROGRAM WAS DEVELOPED BY WILLIECROWTHER AND DON WOODS. THIS VERSION,ìABRIDGED FOR COMMODORE 64, IS BY JIM ìBUTTERFIELD.ì#1ìI KNOW OF PLACES, ACTIONS, AND THINGS.ìMOST OF MY VOCABULARY DESCRIBES PLACESìAND IS USED TO MOVE YOU THERE. TO MOVE,TRY WORDS LIKE BUILDING, ENTER, EAST, WEST, NORTH, SOUTH, UP, OR DOWN. I KNOWABOUT A FEW SPECIAL OBJECTS, LIKE AìBLACK ROD HIDDEN IN THE CAVE. THESEìOBJECTS CAN BE MANIPULATED USING SOME OFTHE ACTION WORDS THAT I KNOW. USUALLYìYOU WILL NEED TO GIVE BOTH THE OBJECTìAND ACTION WORDS, BUT SOMETIMES I CANìINFER THE OBJECT FROM THE VERB ALONE.ìSOME OBJECTS ALSO IMPLY VERBS{ INìPARTICULAR, "INVENTORY" IMPLIES "TAKEìINVENTORY", WHICH CAUSES ME TO GIVEìYOU A LIST OF WHAT YOU'RE CARRYING.ì#2ìTHE OBJECTS HAVE SIDE EFFECTS{ FORìINSTANCE, THE ROD SCARES THE BIRD.ìUSUALLY PEOPLE HAVING TROUBLE MOVINGìJUST NEED TO TRY A FEW MORE WORDS.ìUSUALLY PEOPLE TRYING UNSUCESSFULLYìTO MANIPULATE AN OBJECT ARE TRYINGìSOMETHING BEYOND THEIR (OR MY!) ìCAPABILITIES AND SHOULD TRY A COMPLETELYDIFFERENT TACK. TO SPEED THE GAME YOUìCAN SOMETIMES MOVE LONG DISTANCES WITHìA SINGLE WORD. FOR EXAMPLE, "BUILDING"ìUSUALLY GETS YOU TO THE BUILDING FROMìANYWHERE ABOVE GROUND EXCEPT WHEN LOSTìIN THE FOREST. ALSO, NOTE THAT CAVEìPASSAGES TURN A LOT, AND THAT LEAVINGìA ROOM TO THE NORTH DOES NOT GUARANTEEìENTERING THE NEXT FROM THE SOUTH.ìGOOD LUCK!ì#3
