JERICHO ROAD                                           Shards Software 1983







Jericho Road is a challenging adventure game that gives you the added satis-

faction of exploring an old but real world.  Set in biblical times, it has two

levels of play.  You will of course want to play the full version yourself.  You

can try out the Junior version on your less patient friends!



	Set in Southern Israel in the first century, the player must survive the

rigours of Roman occupation, and cope with the perils of religious persecution.

He is entrusted with a special mission on behalf of a persecuted minority, and

has a part in decoding an ancient puzzle.



	Playing hints: -



(a)	In giving instructions to the computer, you will find that it understands

	two word commands best, e.g.

	              

                      GO NORTH or GET DONKEY



(b)	Common directions can usually be abbreviated to one letter, so the first

	instruction above can be entered as'N'.



(c)	The letter I (for Inventory) will give you a list of anything you have with

	you.



(d)	If in difficulty you can ask HELP.  Sometimes this will give you a cross-

	reference to a part of the Bible, where you will find a further clue.



(e)	This game does not use a SAVE routine as there are a number of ways of

	achieving your objectives.  You do not have to retrace your steps for

	information you have gained in previous play, though sometimes it is

	worth calling again on old friends.
