Another fishy adventure from the Guild, but this time it is a genuine angling story. For example the parser uses the standard phrases and the single and two letter compass directions, but also the following angling terms when in the actual sport of fishing - “Cast in”, “Reel in” and “Strike”.

The adventure is text only, but was written using the Graphic Adventure Creator by Paul Cardin and converted by Pegasus Software in 1991. So welcome to "The Inner Lakes", the starting point of your quest to catch the Irish Record Tench, which will take all your insight, skill and determination to succeed.

You leave your home in Dublin on a long tiring and exhausting car journey, arriving hot and a little smelly to say the least. Being an Irishman, your first thought on arriving at your destination at Killmore Lough was a quick dash to the local pub. You walk down to the Lough Ree Arms and find that nobody wants to speak to you so you amble back to your chalet, and realise that the only thing that you are earning is an awful smell; it is the familiar wiff of B.C. The journey from Dublin, dreaming about that huge tench, had certainly made you perspire a lot.

Fortunately your en-suite chalet has a clean fresh-smelling bathroom equipped with basin, shower and WC. You soon find the soap and undress and take a shower and get dressed again feeling refreshed having got rid of that awful body odour. At least you are clean and fresh and people may talk to you now.

So you decide to go and try the pub again and survey the local scene. You walk into the bar and say "Hello” to the Landlord, and he welcomes you back again and asks you if you have brought him his present. You now realise that the box in gift wrapping that you found in the chalet was intended for Noel, the Landlord. So when you give it to him he thanks you for bringing it for him and eagerly removes the wrapping paper and opens the large box. To his delight he sees that it is the latest type of metal detector, which is just what his son was wanting.

Noel nods to the only other customer in the bar, who you realise is his son. So you talk to Noel's son who looks across at Noel, then he eyes you up and down and notices a copy of the Angling Times sticking out of your pocket and immediately spots that you must be an angler.

He asks for your help. He tells you that when he was fishing for his supper recently, he lost a most valued golden lure. He tells you that a small perch had taken the lure and was hooked and fighting when a huge pike grabbed the perch and his line snapped. This, he sobs, happened in the "L" shaped bay. He promises to help you if you can hunt down the monster pike and return to him the lure.

Noel, the Landlord, also keeps a general type stores just down the road. But what good is a shop to you, a person who is broke. So somehow you have got to get some money, some fishing tackle and bait, perhaps a sausage from the shop might do? A small boat to get around in would also be useful, if to start with you are to catch the huge pike in die “L” shaped bay and recover the golden lure, so as to enlist die help of the landlord's son to catch The Irish Record Tench.

So come on all you anglers, buy this great adventure and... GOOD FISHING!

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.
