This adventure game was created using the Adventure Game Toolkit.

A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE ADVENTURE GAME TOOLKIT

The ADVENTURE GAME TOOLKIT (AGT) is designed to allow a game designer/writer to
create and play his/her own high-quality text adventure games.  Once created,
these adventure games can be shared with and enjoyed by others -- even if they
do not have a copy of the Adventure Game Toolkit themselves.  Using AGT the
game developer can create two distinct levels of adventure games:

    STANDARD LEVEL games that require no programming experience (honestly!!),
    only a fertile imagination.  These Standard Level games only require that
    the game designer/writer generates the game using a word processor or text
    editor to describe the various locations, objects and results of actions
    that collectively make up the game.

    PROFESSIONAL LEVEL games that also make use of AGT's special adventure game
    metalanguage to create games as complex and rich as the game designer's
    imagination and prose style will allow.  These games should be technically
    comparable with the published text adventure games from firms like
    Infocom.

FEATURES OF THE ADVENTURE GAME TOOLKIT

AGT has a number of features that make it a very comprehensive adventure game
creation product.  Some of these key features are:

   *     "Look and feel" of Infocom adventure games with similar screen layout
         and standard vocabulary and routines.

   *     Large standard vocabulary with potential to define many more words
         unique to a specific adventure.  Typical games can have a vocabulary
         of 400 words or more.

   *     Sophisticated parser that can understand (1) complex input commands
         including pronouns (IT, HIM, HER, THEM, MY and ITS), and (2) compound
         commands separated by AND or THEN or punctuation symbols, and (3)
         commands addressed to characters within the game.  Here are a few
         examples of commands AGT can handle with ease:

              GET THE FLASH LIGHT AND THEN SWITCH IT ON
              PUT ON THE CLOAK, THEN EXAMINE IT; READ ITS LABEL
              PLACE THE GREEN ROCK AND THE SMALL PEBBLE BEHIND THE TREE
              ENTER THE HOUSE; GET ALL; EXIT; SOUTH; SOUTH THEN DOWN
              SULU, SET A COURSE FOR ALPHA 14
              SCOTTY, BEAM DOWN A TRICORDER AND THE QWERTY MODULE
              DROP THE FOOD, THE KEY AND THE BOTTLE THEN UNLOCK THE DOOR WITH
                   THE BRASS KEY AND THEN LEAVE

   *     Function and cursor keys predefined to input frequently used commands
         and move directions.

   *     SCRIPT and UNSCRIPT commands to echo game output to printer.

   *     Total compatibility with the last version of Generic Adventure Game
         System (GAGS version 1.07) and GAGS' large established library of
         text adventures.  GAGS was the precursor to AGT.

INTRODUCTION
                           CRUSADE ADVENTURE
                           by David Malmberg

In CRUSADE ADVENTURE you play the role of Godfrey de Goodheart, a bold, but
impoverished knight.  King Fredrick III has dispatched you to rescue his only
daughter, the beautiful Princess Ann, from the dungeons of Baron von Evil's
castle.  You have also been asked to recapture the Baron's treasure of gold,
silver and gems, which he gained by cruelly exploiting his serfs.  If you can
rescue the princess and return all of the Baron's ill-gotten treasures, King
Fredrick has promised you Princess Ann's hand in marriage.

Your quest will be filled with peril.  The seven lone knights who were sent
previously on this crusade all vanished without a trace. If you are to succeed
where so many others have failed, you must use all your strength and cunning.
And be very lucky!!

CRUSADE ADVENTURE was first published in BASIC for Commodore and Apple
computers in the November 1982 issue of MICRO magazine.
