-
- Somewhere beneath the earth is hidden a cache of dinosaurs eggs. Some
- time ago a professor discovered the eggs and was able to construct
- the necessary apparatus to incubate them. His first experiment was
- unsuccessful and, before he could make another attempt, he died
- tragically. Fortunately, he left a diary which gives details of his
- work. Having read a copy of the diary it is possible for users to
- locate an egg, incubate it and find themselves face to face with a
- baby brontosaurus. By exploring and taking careful note of the
- jottings in the professors diary they will be able to plan a
- successful course of action.
-
- In a number of respects the environment being explored will not be
- the same for each user or group of users. Certain random elements
- have been built into the adventure. For example, the temperature at
- which a dinosaurs egg must be incubated may well vary with each quest
- but, by saving their quest at the end of each session, users can be
- assured that the conditions which they find in the environment will
- remain constant.
-
- At the beginning of each quest, adventurers find themselves in a shed
- containing a number of items. Each item is useful in a particular
- location. The shed may be re-visited at any time to make changes to
- the list of items being carried.
-
- In this demo version only some of the locations may be visited. To
- move around the map simply click on a location adjacent to your
- current position.
