======================================================================
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.
