ARNOLD THE ADVENTURER 3

(Zenobi Software)





THE STORY SO FAR



Twice before the "caped-prat" had sallied forth to do battle with the forces of evil

and twice before he had triumphed over adversity ... or at least that was the version

of the story that he liked to relate, and to be quite honest nobody was really that

bothered as to argue the point. So ARNOLD THE ADVENTURER built himself quite a nice

little reputation as a "wronger" or should that be a "righter" ... it all depends upon

which side of the fence you are sitting ... and his fame spread far and wide, or at least

nearly to the eastern boundaries of Bedford.



Resplendent in the knowledge that he was capable of handling most "awkward situations",

Arnold decided to advertise his services in the local "free" newspaper and, being in

need of some sound advice on how to lay out his advert, set off to seek the help of his

old pal Winthorpe ... a wizard of great learning and well practiced in the use of such

things as "words".



Upon his arrival at Winthorpe's residence, Arnold was greatly distressed to find his old

chum lying in bed and to hear the sounds of pain that were emanating from him. A closer

inspection, albeit from a distance, revealed that the old "waver-of-wands" was covered

from head to foot in some rather unsightly red blotches and looked rather green around

the gills. Had he been a fish Arnold was certain that SIX spoonfuls of caustic soda in

his bowl would soon have rid him of the blotches, but Winthorpe was reluctant to duck

his head below water and Arnold was not sure if he had a big enough spoon anyway, so

there was little to be gained from this course of action. However one thing was certain,

without a cure for the blotches Winthorpe was sure to be spotted wherever he went!!





NOTES



This game will recognise all the normal commands; in fact a simple input of HELP will

supply you with a list of most of the required vocabulary to complete the game ... but NOT

all of it! Use RAMSAVE and RAMLOAD to store a game position in MEMORY but always revert

to the more normal SAVE and LOAD to store a position to TAPE or DISK for a more useful

and permanent record of your progress through the game.



In the game you will meet such luminaries as the infamous "BALROG BROTHERS" and the nice

but weird "FLOWER PEOPLE", so interact with them in order to solve the various problems

and hopefully Arnold will be able to find the cure necessary to rid his old pal Winthorpe

of the dreaded red blotches.



Can you do it or will Winthorpe be destined to

spend his days looking vaguely similar to a

cucumber with measles ... it is up to you, so

do your best. Or failing that why not CHEAT?



Watch out Schwarzenegger ... ARNOLD III is here!
