| CF | To play this game, you will type commands when the cursor (>) appears. | ||
| CF | The game uses a VERB NOUN parser to interact with the scenes and | ||
| CF | characters. This means that in any location, you can type something | ||
| CF | like GET HAT, and the game will know what you mean. Sometimes you only | ||
| CF | need the verb; for instance, you can type TALK in the presence of | ||
| CF | another character to talk to them. Make sure you TALK to every | ||
| CF | character! | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The game will tell you what directions you can go, and you can type S | ||
| CF | to go south, N for north, E for east, W for west. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You can make your own map on paper (that's what I like to do), but you | ||
| CF | can also type MAP and see a map of all the locations and who is in | ||
| CF | each one. Typing EXITS will show you every direction you can go from | ||
| CF | your current location. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You can type HINT for a hint. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Type VERBS or V to see the list of verbs you need to use in the game. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | You give the last apple on the tree a good polish and step back to | ||
| CF | survey your work. Every apple on your trees is shining clean. For the | ||
| CF | last one hundred years, you've lived here in your little valley of | ||
| CF | apple trees in your snug little house, alone. Recently the joy has | ||
| CF | gone out of everything, because you're getting lonely. You haven't | ||
| CF | seen another troll like you for ages. You haven't talked to anyone, or | ||
| CF | travelled, or had any adventures for all this time. And oh, how you | ||
| CF | wish something different would happen to you! | ||

| Jacqueline says, "I am eating breakfast, I am happy with whatever. If DW comes back and says, 'This isn't playable but how about a Garry Francis game,' I'd be fine." | ||

| CF | You're a troll, of course. You have the big teeth and purple hair of | ||
| CF | your people, but since you haven't seen any other trolls for | ||
| CF | centuries, you're not sure if you're a good-looking one or not. You | ||
| CF | wonder where all the other trolls went. Surely there are still others | ||
| CF | somewhere. You've gotten quite lonely over the past hundred years, | ||
| CF | living alone. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | In the golden sand dunes of the desert sits a magnificent sphinx. Her | ||
| CF | eyes widen when she sees you and she says, "Good heavens? It's a | ||
| CF | troll? You smell like apples? I love apples?" | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You can go east to the rocky ledge, west to the ruins, or north to | ||

| CF | loves apples. | ||
| CF | | ||

| CF | and say, "I found this strange object in my yard, and I thought you | ||
| CF | might be able to tell me what it is." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The sphinx examines it closely and purrs, "Surely I can tell you, but | ||
| CF | you'll have to answer a riddle first?" | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You say, "OK. But why do I have to answer a riddle?" | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The sphinx replies, "It's just the way sphinxes are? We know | ||
| CF | everything, but we can't answer any questions without getting the | ||
| CF | answer to a riddle first? I don't know why? It's just our nature? Are | ||

| CF | book that should answer any questions you have about dragon eggs?" | ||

| CF | TROLL: | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Widely thought to be extinct, trolls were strong, purple-haired people | ||
| CF | who disliked associating with their own kind so much that they stopped | ||
| CF | having babies and died out. They were great growers of apples, | ||
| CF | wonderful builders, and could travel very quickly. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | This makes you so sad. No wonder you're alone! | ||

| CF | CYCLOPS: | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Cyclopes (the plural of cyclops) are gentle, misunderstood creatures | ||
| CF | often treated as vicious and stupid. Nothing could be farther from the | ||
| CF | truth. Cyclopes are gifted farmers, especially in growing root | ||
| CF | vegetables like carrots. They are very tall, always bald, and have one | ||
| CF | eye in the center of their foreheads. Unfortunately, their single eye | ||
| CF | is often weak. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | DRAGON: | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Dragons are sociable creatures who make excellent companions, provided | ||
| CF | they are raised correctly. A dragon egg must be put in a very hot fire | ||
| CF | to get it to hatch. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Baby dragons must be fed a pearl and a heartblossom flower to grow | ||
| CF | properly. A baby dragon must also be touched by a fairy's wand in | ||
| CF | order to grow to adulthood. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Once grown, if well cared for, a dragon is the best friend anyone | ||
| CF | could have. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | DavidW says, "well, so we grow our own friend, I guess." | |
| Jacqueline says, "One wonders if we will experience all of this in such a short game." | ||
| DavidW says, "At least it's not a sea monkey." | ||

| CF ] Desert | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > FIND 3 | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | FAIRY: | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Fairies are foul-tempered creatures who often have temper tantrums. | ||
| CF | The only way to calm a fairy down is to sing to her. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Fairy wands get their power from griffin feathers. They are powerfully | ||
| CF | magical, and the touch of one is needed for a baby dragon to grow up. | ||
| CF | | ||

| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "find 4" | ||
| CF ] Desert | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > FIND 4 | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | GRIFFIN: | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Griffins are noble and intelligent animals who suffer when it's time | ||
| CF | for them to shed their feathers and grow new ones. When old feathers | ||
| CF | are ready to come out, they get puffy and golden at the tip and itch | ||
| CF | terribly. Eating ripe bubbleberries helps griffins lose their old | ||
| CF | feathers. Bubbleberries must be fertilized with unicorn poop. | ||

| CF | MERMAID: | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Mermaids are vain, greedy creatures who love nothing so much as | ||
| CF | jewels. They don't tolerate intruders unless they are offered a gift | ||
| CF | of jewels, and are often protected by swarms of jellyfish. | ||

| CF | PHOENIX: | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Phoenixes are rather silly birds who frequently feel the urge to | ||
| CF | explode into flames in order to be reborn. The best source of fuel for | ||
| CF | a phoenix fire is a dragon egg. Phoenixes cry quite easily when they | ||
| CF | are trying to burn themselves, and their tears turn into opals. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | MoyTravis says, "Man I know you said it'd be short but that's a pretty wide variety of monsters we're being introduced to." | |

| CF | | ||
| CF | UNICORN: | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Unicorns are a vicious species who exist only to find territory and | ||
| CF | protect it. Once a unicorn is established somewhere, it's impossible | ||
| CF | to remove it or convince it that anyone else has a reason to be there. | ||
| CF | The only way to distract a unicorn is to feed it carrots, for which | ||
| CF | they have a great weakness. | ||

| CF | Do you want more information on how to make ASCII art? > | ||
| CF | > YES | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | To make ASCII art, you need to find a fixed-width (or monospace) font | ||
| CF | in your text writing program. That means that every character you type | ||
| CF | will be the same width so your text document becomes a grid with every | ||
| CF | space being the same width. I use Word, and the font I used in all | ||
| CF | these pictures is Lucida Console. You can Google "fixed width fonts" | ||
| CF | for your program and find out which are fixed-width. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The second step is to make your picture on graph paper, using keyboard | ||
| CF | characters you think will work for your image. You can find a picture | ||
| CF | you like, print it out, and put it under your graph paper so that you | ||
| CF | can trace the image before converting it into keyboard characters. One | ||
| CF | thing to note is that the character spaces in your writing program are | ||
| CF | usually taller than they are wide, so when doing your image on graph | ||
| CF | paper, it always helps to make it a little shorter and fatter than you | ||
| CF | want it to be in the end. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Finally, copy your symbols from the graph paper into your writing | ||
| CF | program on your computer. It takes some practice, but it's a really | ||
| CF | fun way to make art. | ||
