                      GHOST TOWN

Okay, pardner, it's time for a little trip to a gen-u-ine ghost town!
But don't worry, them's *friendly* ghosts. So, mount up and let's get
going! the Jail and the Barbershop. Start things off by going into the
Barbershop, where you'll find a Stetson hat. Shake the hat and drop it.
Get the key that fell out, then leave (you don't need the hat for
anything). Drop the key in the street.

     Go West along the street and you will come to the Saloon and the
Dry-Goods Store. First go to the Saloon and get the bell, then go to
the Dry-goods Store and pick up the matches, and shovel. Back in the
street, go West once again, which brings you to the Telegraph Office
and the Hotel.

     Go into the Hotel, then East into the empty room. Drop the bell
and return to the street. Now enter the Telegraph Office, and move the
safe. Connect the two loose wires so that the telegraph key now works.
You'll be needing it later. Leave the Telegraph office, then go West
until you come to the fork in the road.

     From the fork go South to the edge of the ravine. Burn the
sagebrush, then enter the ravine. Here you will find charcoal (from the
burnt brush) and the entrance to a mine. Go into the mine. Although it's
dark and you can't see it, there is a silver bullet here. Get the
bullet, then go down. You can move in the dark safely so long as you
always move in the right direction.

     Now get the candle and light it. Ah, you can see again! Go South,
and dig roof. You have found your second treasure, a gold nugget. Get
that, and go back North and Up out of the mine. Remember to pick up the
charcoal before leaving the ravine!

     Now go to the fork in the road, and drop off the shovel and the
charcoal. From there, go East back into town until you come to the
stable. Enter the stable, and then the stall. Get the horseshoe, then
make your way back out to the street.

     Now head along East to the Dry-Goods store. Drop the candle
outside, treasures inside, then go out and East again to the Jail. Pick
up the key, then use horseshoe. It's magnetic and will open the door to
the Jail. Enter the jail, and unlock the inner door with the key. Drop
the key, and go through the door into the cell. Pick up the hammer,
then leave the Jail, making sure you also take the derringer with you.
Drop the derringer in the street.

      It's time to play blacksmith, so go all the way West to the
stable, and then enter the stall. This time, mount the horse, and you
will into the manure pile outside the stall. Get up (phew!) out of the
manure pile, and re-enter the stall. There will now be a hole in the
wall leading to a store room. Go through the hole and get the keg of
nail3s. Back in the stall, empty the keg and drop it. Now get the
nails, and shoe the horse. Drop the hammer and mount the horse.

     Say giddyap (the magic word!), and the horse will take off.
Eventually, you will be thrown, and that's the last you'll ever see of
Old Paint. Brush yourself off, and enter the teepee in the hidden
canyon. Pick up the two treasures there, then go back outside.

     There doesn't seem to be any way out, but have no fear! Beat the
tom-tom, and the ghost of Geronimo will appear. Say How, and ZAP! guess
where you are? Right, you're back in the manure pile again (hehehe).
Get out of that, then head along to the Dry-Goods store and drop off
the treasures (don't forget to drop the spurs, too!).

     Somewhere along the line here you may have heard mysterious
ghostly sounds and or voices. The sound of the bell indicates that a
ghostly piano player is now visible in the Saloon, and the voice gives
you a clue as to what to do about him. If you are near the Saloon when
you hear the bell, go inside, and applaud the ghost.

     He (it?) will stand up, take a S bow, and vanish. The piano,
however, will remain behind, as a solid object. If you open the piano,
a map will fall out. This map tells you to "dig roof", but since you've
already done that, you don't need the map, so you can just leave it
there.

     Once you've dropped off the Indian treasures and (possibly)
applauded the ghost, return West to the fork in the road. Get the
shovel and charcoal, then go North to the field. Dig here, and you will
find some yellow powder (it's sulphur). Get the powder, then go to the
manure pile in the stall.

     Holding your nose, dig around in the manure, and you will uncover
some white crystals. Get those, then head into the stall. Mix the stuff
you're carrying around, and you will make some gunpowder. Fill the keg
with that, then get the keg and go to the Telegraph Office.

     Drop the keg in the office. Under no circumstances should you touch
the telegraph key, or BOOOOM! (time to restore the game!). By this time,
it's probably getting dark outside. Don't worry, you'll be able to make
it to the hotel before sunset.

     Just leave the Telegraph Office, enter the Hotel, and go East to
the room where you dropped the bell. Ring the bell, and, like magic, a
bed appears! Drop the bell, get into bed, and have a good night's sleep.

When morning arrives, get up, then move the bed, revealing a roll of
tape. Get the tape and leave the room. On your way out, go to the
counter and get the cashbox. Now return to the Saloon, tape the mirror,
and break it, thus revealing a hidden office. Drop the tape, go through
the hole into the office, and get the Go board.

     Now it's time for another trip to the Dry-Goods Store. Drop off the
cashbox and the Go board. Now, pass Go, and collect $200 (tricky, huh?).
After that, leave the store and head West to the fork, then South to the
ravine. This time, jump across the ravine.

     You are now in the mountains. Go West along the trail to the line
shack. Enter the shack, and tap the telegraph key. Boom! The gunpowder
in the keg just went off! Now, look at the floor and you'll notice a
loose plank. Get the plank, drop it, then go down the hole into the
root cellar. Collect the pelts, then go back up and make your way
across the ravine and into town. As you pass where the Telegraph Office
used to be, you'll see a smoking open safe. Look inside, and pick up
the gold dust.

     Continue East and pick up the derringer, then keep going East
until you come to Boot Hill. Shoot the rattlesnake with the derringer
(it's a water pistol!), then dig a grave and (gulp!) go into it. Here
you find a coin and a purple worm. If you want to indulge in some
gratuitous violence, you can kill the worm. In any case, drop the
shovel and get the coin.

     Now climb back out, and make another trip to the Dry-Goods store.
Drop all the treasures, then go back out into the street. Get the
candle, then wait for sunset. Once it's dark, go into the Saloon. A
ghostly square dance is in progress (that's what the fiddle strings are
all about). Still in the dark, do a little dancing, and you will win a
prize.

     Now you can light the candle. The dancers will vanish, and you can
now make your final trip to the Dry-Goods store. Drop the cup you just
won, and say "Score". All right! You did it, you collected all thirteen
ghost treasures! After all that, why not take a vacation? I know this
little deserted island that would be just perfect.....
