THE BALROG AND THE CAT
----------------------

The Tale So Far ....

There was nothing a BALROG enjoyed more than a 'green-cheese' sandwich,
especially one that had been allowed to 'ferment' for a week or two! IT also
helped if the cheese had been laid to rest between two thick slice of good brown
bread ... BALROGS have been known to go to war over such delights.

However, un-beknowns to this particular Balrog, such joys were soon to be
brought to a sudden end ... by a strange 'scratching' noise at the door of his
abode. This noise would cause him to become involved with the likes of
'Lemin-Rats', 'Cockroaches' and nasty 'Red-Caps', as he struggled to solve some
very devious problems indeed.

Would he be able to find the means to cross the bridge or even to assist the
young boy in his search for the 'impossible'? Would he dare to venture close
enough to the dark trees to locate the object of his desires? Could he attract
the attention of the boat-man or even discover the whereabouts of the runaway
Donkey?

The answers to these and numerous other problems are all there, but are you
clever enough and brave enough to find them ..... or will the task simply be too
much for both YOU and the BALROG?

NOTES
-----
This game will accept all the 'usual' commands, along with the following
additions .... Use CASSETTE to save or load to TAPE and use MEMORY to save or
load to Ram for instant recall. To activate the save/load routine simply input
either SAVE or LOAD and then choose the medium you wish to use. For a permanent
record always use CASSETTE.

There is a simple 'Talk' routine built into the game, so should you wish to
converse with any or all of the characters you might encounter, simply type TALK
(if there is only ONE character present) or TALK TO THE DONKEY, or whoever you
wish to chat to, when there is more than one character present. Failing that,
you could always just SAY HELLO and see if they are willing to be engaged in
conversation.

Some useful abbreviations are ..... Z = WAIT, X = EXAMINE, V = VIEW,
R = REDESCRIBE

P.S. Exercise can be a very GOOD way to lose weight and improve fitness ........
