here are some directions:

The answer to the riddle is 'A well'. Now go east, east, enter
bucket, pour water into bucket (once it comes to the top). Get out
of the bucket, head east, get all the cakes in the tea room, apart
from the orange one. Save the game, eat the green cake, go east
and throw red cake into pool of tears. Now get the package of
candies, west into the posts room and eat the blue cake.
Northwest. In the low room tell the robot to go east, now you go
east and tell the robot to 'push triangular' to stop the carousel.
Now tell the robot to go south, follow him.

In the closet get red sphere. When the cage falls tell the robot
to lift it, then get sphere. Now go north, west, try going

then north until you find the ledge of the ravine. Up, slide mat
under the door, move lid, insert opener into keyhole, remove

it.

Next north, drop key and opener and get the blue sphere found in
the dreary room. Save the game, go south, down to ledge, west,

the sword, south, hit the dragon again, west into ice room. Once
the dragon has gone drop the sword, east, southeast into cobwebby
room and get the string. Now northeast, get the matches and the
newspaper. Northwest, west, west, south to the bottom of the
volcano and get into the basket. Open the receptacle, put the
newspaper inside, light a match, light the newspaper with the

Shortly it will rise, when it gets to the narrow ledge, land. Tie
wire to the hook, get out of the basket, get the gold coin and
then go south. In the library take the purple book, open it, get
the stamp, drop the book and go north. Get into basket, untie wire
and when the basket reaches the wide ledge land and tie the wire
to the next hook. Get out of the basket, south and save the game.
Now put the string in the brick, put the brick in the hole in the
box. Light a match and then light the string, bolt north and then
after the explosion go back south.

Get the crown then go north quickly again, get in the basket,
untie the wire and close receptacle. Once you get to the bottom go

then continue east. You will come to the dragon's room.

Go north and say hello to the princess and wait. She will leave,
so follow her until you are at the gazebo. Wait and you will get
the key. Drop the rose, exit and head south. Now go west,
southwest, drop the stuff you've found and save. Next go
northwest, north, north, north and open the chest. Get the
statuette and then return to the carousel room. Next go south,
down. Now try and go east to get the club, if not go west and get
it. Then go southeast, northeast, northwest, southwest. The
diamonds on the floor should get brighter as you progress, so if
you're doing something wrong restore the game.

Once you've done that okay you should hear a noise, so go north,
if you can't go in another direction (n,e,s,w). When you reach the
staircase go up and then north. When you reach the carousel room
get the blue and red spheres and the candy. If you need to drop
something, just make sure it isn't the club.

Now go southwest, southwest and give the candy to the lizard.
Unlock the door with the golden key and open it. Next go south,
west, west and throw the club at the aquarium - get the clear
sphere. Move east to the wizard's workroom and put each sphere on
the stand of the same colour.

Get the black sphere and then head off south. In the pentagram
room put the sphere on the circle. You will need to give the demon
all your treasure, including the gold key, so go back and get
everything and give it to him. When you have done that say "GIVE
ME THE WAND". Now go north, east, north, north, northeast, south
and wave the wand at menhir. Say "FLOAT" then go southwest, get
the collar, northeast, south, down, down to the Cerberus room. Put
the collar on him then go east. From here go south into the crypt
and turn off the lamp. Look at the hidden door in the southern
wall, open it and go south.
