This was Pete Cooke's first published game for the Spectrum. He'd later go on to great acclaim with the likes of Tau Ceti and Micronaut One, however this is a simple text adventure.

There's an obvious influence from games like The Hobbit with many locations depicted with graphics; however they're simple and take quite some time to draw. The game is generally quite slow being written in BASIC.

There are some interesting puzzles to solve, and a few generous hints, but it's mostly an old fashioned treasure hunt without much of an individual atmosphere. It's all very competently done, but doesn't really have much of a spark to it.
