DIAMOND QUEST 1. Instructions The object of the game is to find all the four keys and find your way to the Golden Palace where the diamond treasure is to be found. The four keys you have to find are:- 1. The large key. 2. The wooden key. 3. The silver key. 4. The golden key. 2 Features of the Game Whilst venturing around the land, you will meet up with all sorts of 'nasties'. You must attack and kill them before you can proceed. If you don't want to attack the 'nastie' then you can do one of two things - either bribe the 'nastie' with gold and get him to go away or otherwise flee from him. When there is no enemy then you can:- 1. Get an object. 2. Book in at a hotel (but only if you can see one). 3. Convert gold to energy. 4. Look at a Map (not available when energy is less than 200) 5. Move North, South, East, West/ Booking in at a hotel costs you 30 bags of gold. This gives you extra energy, as does eating food. 3. Commands N = moves you north. S = moves you south. E = moves you east. W = moves you west. A = to attack a 'nastie'. B = to book in at a hotel. C = to convert gold to energy. F = to flee from a 'nastie'. K = for a key prompt. G = to pick up an object. I = inventory (list of items). M = to look at a map. P = to bribe a monster to go away. R = to retreat during a fight with a 'nastie'. 4. Hints on Strategy It is unwise to flee if you have less than 20 units of energy because you lose 20 units of energy ans so will die. If you don't think you have enough energy to fight then you would be better off to bribe the 'nastie' to leave. Retreating from a battle causes you to lose gold. Get lunch whenever you see it. You win gold when you attack the 'nasties'. The gold can be converted into energy. Be sure you have enough energy when you reach the palace. 5. Inside the Palace When you reach Golden Palace you will immediately enter it. You will then find yourself in a maze of rooms. 'Nasties' will still attack you but there are no objects and therefore no food! Be sure you have enough energy. You may not move backwards. To move left = W To move right = E To move forward = N If there are no doors in the room then you must Flee. Can you find the diamond treasure? Good luck!
