The game begins with you standing on a wagon with a noose around
your neck, and you'd better escape in a hurry! So "untie rope"
twice to free yourself, then S,U to a Plateau, where you see the
ghost of an Indian Chief. Talk to ghost and he will explain your
quest - bring 10 silver objects here, and he will lift the curse
on the town of El Diablo. D,N,N,N,E (Old Stables). Dig to find a
silver spur, get spur.  W,W (Sheriff's Office) X desk - old
chocolate cake - X cake, break cake - hacksaw blade. Get blade,
E,N,W (General Store).  X stove - can of kerosene; X shelves -
hacksaw handle.  Get handle and can, put blade in handle, E, drop
can, E (Saloon) X roulette wheel, and spin wheel which makes a
silver dollar fall on the floor. Get dollar, X bar, E (behind
bar), X shelf and you find a silver pocket watch.  Get watch. W,U
to Top of stairs, with a padlocked door to your East.  Cut padlock

with hacksaw, drop hacksaw, E (Saloon office).  X desk - silver
watch fob - get fob.

buckle.  W,N,E,N, get arrowheads, S, get horseshoe.  W,S,W ( in
Abandoned Church).  X pews - silver crucifix - get crucifix.  You
need the rope, but do not pull it yet. Pulling the rope also rings
the church bell, which scares off the ghost riders, and you are
safe for another day. E,S,S,S,S,S,W,W,N (in Shack). X the
fireplace to find a silver nugget wedged in the chimney. Get
nugget, S,E,E,S,U, drop nugget, buckle, crucifix, bullet.

town, and a violent storm blows up. Wait for dawn, E,S,S, get can.

kerosene, light lantern, drop can. Tie rope to the spike and climb
down it (bottom of Mine shaft).  Get keg, X keg, U,N,E,E,N,N,N,N,E

you run for cover as the safe blows apart. When the dust settles,
you find a bar of pure silver. Get bar.

Indian Chief appears, takes all the silver objects, and gives you
a piece of turquoise; telling you to put it on the graves to lift
the curse.  D,N,N,N,N,N,N,N,E,N,U (in Cemetery).  Drop turquoise -
there's a clap of thunder, and you have succeeded in lifting the
curse on El Diablo. Congratulations!
