Starting Out:
     Hitting the Trail for "The Secret of Monkey Island"

          by Ron Rainbird on an Amiga 500

After chatting with the old boy pretending to be a lookout - a
real sinecure this task - head along the dock until you come to
the Scumm Bar. Enter the bar and cross the room to the red
curtains. Have a long chat with the 3 pirate chiefs (?) and after
informing them that you want to be a pirate, find out about the
three tests you must master.

Go through the right hand door and after being refused entry by
the Cook, wait for him to leave the kitchen and go in. You will
need to get the piece of meat and a pot, then go outside to a
short pier or jetty. There is some fish here that you will need
but a seagull keeps hampering you, so make it fly away by going to
the end of the pier then nipping back quickly to get the fish
before the seagull gets back. This has to be done very smartly.

Now leave the inn/bar, go back to the lookout and take a path to
the right. This will lead to a large clearing in the centre of
which is a circus tent. Enter the tent in which the Fettucini
Brothers are worrying about the lack of performers for their
cannon act. Tell them you will do it for a price and use the pot
as a helmet. Afterwards go back to the path and return to the main
street. Chat with a character just past the first archway and by
answering saying that you know someone called Dominique, you will
get a map. Carry on by entering the Voodoo Shop on your right and
get the chicken lying there.

Walk on to the archway bearing a clock and go to the alley between
a church and a shop. You will meet and have a conversation with
the Sheriff - a nasty bit of work.
