THE HELM

(written with the aid of 'The Quill', courtesy of Gilsoft)

Long ago, the Helm of Immortality was stolen by the evil Lich,
who kept it corrupt and incomplete in the Bowels of his castle.
Have you the cunning, power and knowledge to enter the dark one's
lair and wrest the fabled object from his evil grasp? Because then,
and only then, will the gift of immortality be bestowed .....

THE GAME
Your task is to recover The Helm of Immortality from the evil Lich's
castle. But first you must scour the countryside for certain objects,
solve many intriguing puzzles, and perform various tasks (such as
defeating a hypnotic ball of light known as a Psyak) to gain entry
to the Lich's lair. Once inside. you will find yourself face to face
with the dreaded man himself - who is a singularly nasty piece of work!
And he will not hand over The Helm willingly .....
