THE PENDANT OF LOGRYN (Zenobi Software) Spectrum 128K ... To an elf there are not many more important events than to be visited by an old and loved relative and this was true even of the mighty KING LOGRYN. In a few days time his aged grandmother would arrive and pass some time in his company, something that he was really looking forward to ... That was until he discovered that his precious pendant was missing!!! It had been bought for him on the occasion of his one hundred and tenth birthday and he had treasured it ever since. Normally its loss would have been bad enough, but imminent arrival of his grandmother made it doubly worse as it was she who had bought it for him in the first place!!!! You are KORMIN, an elf of the kingdom of "Blue Water" and the one chosen by Logryn to locate and retrieve the missing pendant. Not only was it priceless and, more importantly, a gift from his grandmother, but it was also rumoured to possess magical properties. Thus, armed with only your trusty sword and with two gold pieces jingling in the pocket of your pants, you must set off into the world of humans where it is possible that you may just find the help necessary to locate the pendant. However, take care just who you confide in, as not all humans are "honest" and especially keep watch for the dangerous creatures that roam the land of man. NOTES Use the following commands to switch between the various "settings" of the game. PICS ON ... Draws the location graphic every time you enter or redescribe the location. PICS NORM . Draws the location graphic the first time you enter the location only. PICS OFF .. No location graphics are drawn. MODES 0 to 4 will also affect the screen presentation. Experiment to find one that suits. This game will accept such complex commands as "GET THE SWORD, EXAMINE IT AND THEN KILL THE ORC", though the more usual verb/noun will suffice in most cases. To talk to or converse with any characters you may encounter, simply use the following style ... SAY TO KHARIN "EXAMINE THE SCROLL" or SAY TO IMP "HELLO". HELP There are a number built-in "hints", so if you should wish help at any point simply input the word HELP and perhaps you may be lucky ... If not you can always try again at some other point in the game. Remember ... SEARCH and EXAMINE are NOT the same!!!!
