JESTER'S JAUNT
(Zenobi Software)

Spectrum 48K/128K+2


[There's some confusion in the instructions as to whether   ]
[you're supposed to be rescuing a prince or a princess. JimG]


In this game you get to be a jester, but one thing
is certain ... you are no fool. You will need all
your wits about you to complete your task, albeit
a plain and simple one ... "Rescue a Prince from the
clutches of an evil witch who has kidnapped him."
A simple enough task you might think, but don't
be fooled by its simplicity ... it is a lot
harder than you might think, especially since
the witch figured out that you might just try
to do just that and arranged things to make it
very difficult for a potential assassin to actually
enter her castle.

You will have help in the form of items given to you
by your SIX brothers, among whom are Currycomb and
Tidy. These are just "nicknames", however, and your
brothers will not give up their goodies unless you
address them by their real names ... So it is up
to you to discover them. Oh, and while you are at it,
it would be a prudent move to discover the name of the
princess as well.

Most of these gifts have magical properties ... All
but one in fact ... What else would you expect from
a "fairy tale" game such as this?

You will be given nothing as mundane a sword, a lantern, or even a rope ... No, it
will be up to you to discover how you can make use of a box, a small tin and a hanky,
amongst other things.


NOTES

Most of the objects needed to complete the game are to be located in PART ONE, which
is why you will need to SAVE your position at the end of it and to then LOAD that into
PART TWO when you continue your quest. However, you can load PART TWO and simply just
explore the first few locations in an attempt to sort out what lies ahead for you to
deal with.

You are advised to use RAMSAVE (RS) and RAMLOAD (RL) frequently, SAVE to tape and LOAD
from tape occasionally and EXAMINE (X) everything at all times.
