1. Go intobuilding. Pick up keys and lamp. The lamp appears here should
you have to be reincarnated.

2. Unlock gate (with key). Pick up cage.

3. Try the magic word, XYZZY. Try it again. Pick up rod.

4. Drop rod. Pick up bird. Pick up rod.

5. Wave rod. Drop rod. Go Pick up diamonds and gold.

6. Release bird. Drop cage. Grab coins and silver. Note: Dwarves are
lousy shots, but sometimes, unfortunately, they can get lucky. Carry
the ax, as you may encounter up to five of these critters.

7. Try the magic word PLUGH also. Drop silver, gold nugget, diamonds,
jewelry, and coins. If you haven't already, you will soon encounter a
thieving pirate. Not to worry, he's got to rob you at least once if
you're to win all the marbles.

8. Carrying food, ax, bottle of water, key (all for later) and
lantern, visit the software den (Microsoft Version only). Don't mess
with anything--Software types are a weird lot. Pick up magic word LWPI.
Works only from here. 9. Water plant twice. Pick up water for the second
pass at the waterfall. 10. Attack dragon. Yes. Pick up rug.

11. Pick up oil (in now empty bottle). Climb the plant.

12. Oil door. Open door. Drop bottle. While here and while carrying
golden eggs, enter FEE, FIE, FOE, FOO, one word at a time. Check your
inventory. Go back to where you first found the eggs.

13. Throw eggs (to troll). Cross bridge before the FEE, FIE, whatever.

14. Feed bear. Unlock chain (with key). Get golden chain. Drop key.
Pick up bear. Don't forget the rare spices. At volcano view, read and
remember the words of fire.

15. Release bear. Don't try crossing the bridge with him on the chain.

16. Open oyster (with trident). Pearl will roll down into the
cul-de-sac. 

17. Insert coin to get a replacement battery for your
lamp, if necessary. Coins are a treasure, however, and you won't ge
them back, so try beating the game with the original batteries only.

18. Never drop vase unless you have already dropped the pillow.

19. Drop everything in order to enter. Pick up emerald.

20. Say PLOVER. Pick up pyramid. PLOVER, PLUGH and pi-tooie!

21. You must traverse the maze to Pick up Pirate's Treasure Chest, which
doesn't appear until he's robbed you. Return via the Pit and XYZZY.
Drop all treasures in the House.

22. Drop magazine in Witt's End for a point. Get out by entering all
different directions except north. It may take a while. Slog around
in various and distant locations until a voice announces that the
cave is now closed. At this point you are teleported to the two-room
Master's Game. 

23. Pick up black rod (with the rusty marks, not the star). Drop rod in 
the northeast room. Retreat to the southwest room. Type blast. Alternate 
endings are possible, but will not yield sufficient points to earn you 
the rank of adventure grandmaster.
