¢The Four Fruits of Scottesburge¢¢Written by John E. (TEBSF) 1989,¢major updates 1990-1991.¢¢This is the first time I have put this¢into the Public Domain so I hope you¢like it! It may be copied and put into¢Public Domain libraries as long as this¢documentation is on the same disk!¢¢The Four Fruits of Scottesburge is an¢adventure in the Scott Adams and¢Mysterious Adventures mould, so you¢should have come across this type of¢game before, I won't waste time and¢space going on about N,S,E and W!¢¢Whilst playing the game you may save¢your position by typing in SAVE. Your¢data may be saved to disk or cassette,¢you are allowed 9 saves per disk side.¢To retrieve a saved game use LOAD or¢RESTORE.¢¢The program understands many words, but¢if one command doesn't work then try¢another! For example ATTACK and KILL¢are understood but they both do the¢same thing! You can EXAMINE objects (or¢X or LOOK), EXAMINE on its own will¢reprint the location description, as¢will R and REDESCRIBE. The adventure¢only uses the first four letters of¢each word so to save time you could¢type ATTA SCAR instead of ATTACK¢SCARECROW.¢Because the adventure is written in¢BASIC it is rather slow, if you are¢lucky enough to own TURBO BASIC (and if¢you don't then get it!) then load TURBO¢BASIC as usual, insert this disk and¢type: RUN"D:FOUR.BAS"¢The program will then load and run at¢a more-than-acceptable speed.¢I hope you enjoy the adventure, it¢shouldn't take too long to solve, if¢you really need help then write to me¢enclosing a SAE and I'll help you out¢with your problem(s??).¢¢John E.
