            Getting Started by Bev Truter on PC

This game begins in a dungeon cell, with you about to be drowned
in boiling oil.  Get bucket, put bucket over hole, stand on
bucket. "Wait" until the oil is pumped into the room, and it
pushes the bucket and you towards the ceiling. Get grate, wait
until the guard enters and moves to directly below you.  Drop
grate (you land on the guard and knock him unconscious), X guard,
get brass key, S, close door, lock door. S,U,N,E,S to the Jester's
Room. Get box, turn crank 4 times, the lid flies open and
something lands on the floor. Get gold key, N, the Jester appears
and prevents you leaving while you are holding any of his
belongings.  X Jester - he carries a Marotte. Drop box,
N,W,S,S,E,S to Kitchen. Get torch, X torch (it's not lit).

N,N,W,N,N,W,S to Library. Get book and read it to get a varying
selection of hints about the game. E to Altar Room, X altar, X
plaque and you find a riddle - the answer is "FIRE".  Say "fire",
a small flame burns on the altar, light torch, W,N,E,S,D,S to the
small room.  There's apparently nothing here, but X wall and you
see the letter "M" engraved in it. If the Jester blows your torch
out, it has to be re-lit from the altar.  In fact, the Jester is
beginning to be a real nuisance....

closet. Get kite, N,W,D,E,S, drop kite. N,E,U, open door, W,S to

get battery, X workbench, put battery on tester, test battery -
it's dead. X backpack (it's a parachute....for later).  You can't
carry the pump down the stairs as it's too heavy, or throw it over
the Balcony, as that breaks something inside it. Get potion, X
potion (it's a Thunder and Rain-making potion).

E,W,D,N,E,N,U,N,W,S to the South Battlements where you see a
winch.  X winch - you see a crank and a lever. Pull lever to lower
the drawbridge, throw bag over wall (the dogs race outside the
