An original and exciting adventure which uses all of the Spectrum's 48k memory! There are nearly 200 rooms, spread over 5 levels, to explore in each game. In your travels through the rooms displayed in 3D on the screen, you can find many weapons and artifacts, and learn many spells. Monsters lurk in some of the rooms; you can try to reason with them. or fight them with magic or sword.
You are not limited to single-letter commands in this adventure - for a sophisticated word-entry system allows you to tell the computer what to do in short English sentences; e.g OPEN DOOR, or BRIBE THE PIT FIEND.
Many features such as earthquakes, deep pits, locked doors, dark rooms and hidden treasures make this adventure a real challenge!

This is a mixture of text adventure and role playing game typical of the time. It has the usual simple but colourful setup screens to admire whilst creating unique layouts for the game.Large but primitive graphics display at some locations but this limits the actual content. At least it does not pretend to have much more than a limited vocabulary - useful as it does not even recognise compass directions.
