My name is Zoitak and ! have been sent by the leaders of my planet, Joliaria, to a strange planet called EARTH at the other side of the galaxy. I have been sent to try to find ten items of treasure and in addition, I must try to locate some rocket fuel for my return journey.

You must give me instructions in the form of two word sentences such as SEARCH BARN, or just single words. Here is a list of words I understand: N,S,E,W,GO IN , GO OUT, WAIT , SING, SAVE,SCORE, ROW , SAIL, LIGHT, GET , GRAB , TAKE , DROP , LEAVE, PUT , TIME , DIG , HELP , OPEN , PHONE , QUIT , LOOK , KISS , PRAY, LOAD, CLOAD, EXAMINE, SWIM , INVENTORY , BUY, CRAWL

There are 85 locations to visit in this game. Just in case you get stuck, here are some useful hints:

  1. Dynamite is dangerous. I wouldn't recommend lighting it.
  2. The Pig is a bit of a nuisance. It can be moved out of the way (if you push hard enough).
  3. Try examining things (particularly pebbles, for they often contain valuable minerals).
  4. The sunbathers look as though they could do with some lotion (I believe that Supermarkets sell lotion!),
  5. You never know what might lie underneath driftwood.
  6. The Headmistress might give you a present if you sing for her.
  7. The farmer has a trolley, but he needs a gift before he will give it to you.
  8. Some objects are too heavy to carry without a trolley.
  9. You can go inside the monument.
  10. It is often a nuisance WAITING for a BUS, but it usually works!
  11. You will need something to prise the lid off the casket!
  12. The man with the pheasant will give it to you if you find out what he wants?
  13. Don't jump off cliff's without a parachute and don't climb down ledges without a rope.

    I hope that the above hints don't give too much away so as to spoil the game!

L'Amstrad CPC est une machine 8 bits à base d'un Z80 à 4MHz. Le premier de la gamme fut le CPC 464 en 1984, équipé d'un lecteur de cassettes intégré il se plaçait en concurrent  du Commodore C64 beaucoup plus compliqué à utiliser et plus cher. Ce fut un réel succès et sorti cette même années le CPC 664 équipé d'un lecteur de disquettes trois pouces intégré. Sa vie fut de courte durée puisqu'en 1985 il fut remplacé par le CPC 6128 qui était plus compact, plus soigné et surtout qui avait 128Ko de RAM au lieu de 64Ko.
