Okay then, without delay, go NW to the garden, pick up a carrot,
go W to the other side and then S to the left hand side of the
castle. Now go west until you see the rock, go to the northern
side of it and then move it, you will find a dark hole. Look in
the hole and take the dagger, west, swim west, keep swimming west.
When you get to the other side of the pond, head north and you'll
find a well. Go west to the gate and open it, enter the corral and
find the goat. Show the carrot to the animal and it will follow
you. Exit the corral and go west (twice), then head to the north.

You'll be at the patch of clovers, get one (a clover, you dummy),
and then continue north to the bridge. The goat will now get rid
of the troll, allowing you to cross over. Once again continue
north and you'll find the gnome. Talk to it, his name is, is, ho
just read it backwards! Next take the magic beans he leaves and
then head off east. You'll find another bridge, cross and continue
east until you reach the patch of flowers. Plant the magic beans
(haven't I heard this somewhere before???) and then continue east.
Swim the lake and on the other side continue east.

You will come to a large rock, look in the hole and then head east
(twice). You'll come to a small beach, here collect the pebbles
and return to where you planted the magic beans. Save the game,
you may kill yourself at this bit. When the beanstalk enters the
clouds head east until you come to the trees. At the first patch
of trees go south, east, east and you'll find a tree with a cavity
in the bottom of it. Look in the hole and get the sling, then go
back west twice. Now go north and take a look at the tree at the
top left edge of the screen. Go over to it and then head east to
the next screen.

When you see the giant, head east quickly and hide behind the tree
in the centre. Make sure you're hidden well and then wait. The
giant will soon get bored, when he falls asleep sneak out from
your hiding place and get the magic chest. Return to the beanstalk
and escape. When you get to the bottom go south three times and
then east to the well. Cut the rope and lower it into the well,
climb down it. When you reach the end of the rope dive under the
water.  Head southwest to the hole and enter it. Keep away from
the weeds and exit the hole, you'll see a dragon.

Stay in the centre and throw water onto the dragon's fire. The
dragon will leave so head to the northern side of the cave and get
the mirror. Go west twice and when you're out of the cave go south
twice to reach the stump. Look in here to find a pouch, get it and
open it - you'll see some diamonds! Now go east, swim east across
the lake, continue east to where the dagger was and then north to
the big tree. Climb the tree and you'll find a nest, get the
golden egg and climb back down. Here you'll find some nuts, so get
one and open it - you'll find a solid gold walnut (what?) you
heard me!


Next head east and get the bowl. South and talk to the elf, he'll
give you a ring (der, der, der-der, der, der, der, der, der-der-
der, der-der-der!). Head north, east, east, north, north to
woodcutter's house. Go west and enter via the front door, look at
the bowl you have and give it to the woodcutter, say fill and the
bowl will fill with food for them. The woodcutter will give you
his fiddle, go over and get it - but watch out for that floor!
Exit the house and then go south, swim south across the lake. Keep
going until you reach the witch's house.

Open the door and go to the bedroom, wait and when the witch
returns home sneak up behind her and push her in the stove! Look
for the cabinet on the northern wall, open it and take the cheese
wedge. Exit the cottage and head west. Now go south to the front
of the cave where we met the dragon and you'll see the bird again.
Go to the lower centre of the screen, and jump up and down until
the bird catches hold of you. It will fly you to a small island,
when you land go west and get the mushroom. Now go east and down
into the hole you'll find.

Now go south along the tunnel and then go SLOWLY west. Talk to the
rat, from a distance, and throw the cheese at it. Now go to the
door and open it, head west, then south. Play the fiddle for the
king and the Leprechauns will start to dance. When the king leaves
get the sceptre, then the shield. Head west up the stairs. Keep
going west until you find a small hole in the western wall. Eat
the mushroom and you'll shrink small enough to go through the
hole. Keep going west until you are in front of the rocks where
you saw the green glow earlier.

Now go north, north, east, east, east and you'll be at the left
hand side of the castle. No go along the bridge, mind where you
walk and open the door. Head down the hallway to the throne room,
when the King comes towards you, bow.

Well done - another game successfully completed!
