>HORSE, WHERE IS YOUR SADDLE
>BOY, RUN HOME THEN CALL THE POLICE

---------- FINALLY WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS -------------
When all else fails and you get hopelessly STUCK in a game and
can't solve a puzzle etc you can always ask your SYSOP for a few
hints or tips or possibly the solution if your really hopeless!
Its a GOOD idea to have a pencil and pad handy to MAP out the
games locations some game you'll NEED to do this to complete.
Good luck and happy adventuring!
