- I have a book called "The Book of Adventure Games" by Kim Schuette, 1984 by
- Arrays, Inc. ISBN: 0-912003-08-1. Pages 9-11 show the maps involved, and
- pages 247-248 show the solutions and all the treasures. The book was written
- with the Apple ][ in mind, but many of them are also C-64 games and some of
- the old Infocoms. (And my beloved Time Zone is in here, too, but alas, it
- is not available for Amiga.. :<) Anyway, it covers about 75 games and divides
- things up so that you can get hints and maps in one section and solutions in
- the other (without having the solutions in the way!).
-
- I seriously doubt that it is still in print, but you may want to haunt the
- used book stores or libraries for it.
-
- Good luck!
