INSTRUCTIONS
Zorro, the famous Mexican hero, sees the evil Colonel Garcia
abducting a beautiful maiden. As he's a hero, it's up to him (and
you) to rescue Garcia's captive...

ZORRO is basically an arcade adventure. The overall plan is to
get to Garcia's jail and release the captive, but there are a
number of tasks you'll need to complete first. The first of these
is the recovery of her hankerchief, for some reason. You will
need to collect several other objects in order to gain further
objects until your ultimate goal is reached. The important items
are easily identified - they flash until picked up (by simply
walking over them) and are then automatically added to your
inventory. Only one object can be picked up at a time. Having
been collected, the objects can then be used as keys to solve
puzzles and open doors.
