Our adventurer extraordinaire Barrie Eaton, has provided us with yet another marvellous text adventure. Have fun! In this adventure your ultimate goal is to rescue the fair princess Shareen and destroy the evil sorceress Smyrna. After the old king died. Smyrna usurped the throne and imprisoned the young princess with her black magic. She now rules the kingdom of Eternia unopposed. However the expectation of this happening had already been foreseen by Artek the mighty wizard whom before he died, forged tliree rings of power strong enough to overcome the black magic of the evil queen Smyrna.
Artek carefully hid the three rings in different locations so that Smyrna could not find them. Il is your task therefore to seek out the rings and tiy to restore the kingdom of Eternia to its rightful heir. There arc many obstacles to overcome in fulfilling your quest but help can be obtained from some of the characters that you meet. Smyrna also has her spies in the land and It has been noted that you are searching for the rings. She has therefore sent out her evil "all seeing eye" that will search out and destroy you if it man ages to locate you. The only protection against the eye is the powerful charm that you need to possess. This will give you ultimate protection against everything that could otherwise destroy you. However other charms will be needed to enable you to vanquish some of your foes. Artek himself also moves around in the game and each time be bumps into you he will give some advice. You can also call upon Artck's name at various points in the game when all else seems lost.

It will tell you so. For all those adventurers out there who still enjoy a challenge, this game will give you just that. Your quest begins... Good luck! TAU |
