You start in an Open Field, where you see a sheet of instructions.
Get sheet, read sheet (this explains your mission.) Listen to
bird, NE to Stream Bed, where you can wash the bird droppings off
your head, but the piranha eat you.

S (Entrance to Castle), exam doors (locked), Open Sesame, enter
Castle.  In the Foyer read the inscription on the wall (it reads
"William the cat d 11 13"), N to Living Room, exam the mantle, get
award (this moves the Mona Lisa to reveal a safe), open safe by
entering 11 13 when asked, get torch paper and dagger.

Read paper (it's an equation), S-S to Study. If you look through
the window, you'll see the soldiers riding towards the castle...
so hurry! Get matches and book, open book, read page. (This turns
your paper into a solved equation, which falls to the floor).
Solve equation (answer is 218), Get book, when asked which number
answer 218, this moves the bookcase to reveal a secret passage to
the NE.  SAVE.  NE, open box, light match, light torch.

You are now in a Dungeon Hall.  NE-E, get noose, W-NE-D to
Kitchen.  Get canister, bottle and Bible (eat crackers when you
get hungry.  Bottle useless but good for dropping in the maze).
E-E, get key, W-N, get bucket, N, get steak.  Door slams shut
behind you, so unlock door with key.

S-S-S to the Library, exam poster (amusing but useless), S, feed
Tiger, get gun and ink, N-N-E-S (Printing Press), exam machine,
fill ink, switch machine on, get paper, exam paper (it's a
Security Authorization).

N-E-N to Pool, shoot dog, fill bucket, S, get Armour, wear Armour,
S to Laboratory.  Read Bible (the evil spirits flee), get gas
mask, wear mask.  N-E-S to Entrance to Maze. Drop some of the
items you've used if you can't carry any more.

By now you've probably discovered that your torch blows out, and
you have no more matches.  So restore that Saved game in the
study, and do everything in the dark, only lighting your torch at
the Entrance to Maze or even further on.  A soldier's body
randomly appears and disappears in the Maze - ignore it as nothing
can be done to it or found on it.

Entrance to Maze - S-W (gas in here, so you'll die without the
mask), W to Monster, kill Monster (might take more than one
attempt), get bag of Whenk food.  S-S-E, throw water to kill
Dragon, SW-W to Whenk, give food, W-SW.

Get mace, W-N to Hermit, hang hermit - he disappears, leaving
behind a Silver Crown, get Crown, W-SW-S-S-W to Sorcerer.  Give
Crown to Sorcerer, he tosses you a bag containing a potion to get
rid of Demons, get potion.

N-N to Demons, use potion to make Demons disappear.  NE-E-W-S to
Security Door with slot, insert paper and you find yourself at
Exit to Maze.

W-W-W, kill Cyclops with mace (you won't be able to kill it unless
you've disposed of everything else in the Maze section), W to
Grande Room, up to the Formula Room, get Formula, and that's the
end of your Quest!!
