EVERY ONE A GEM
by Robert Burgess
from Computer Gamer, March 1986

This is a beginner's adventure for the Spectrum with what may seem to be few
locations (16); but there are less red herrings than usual and lots and lots
of puzzles for you to complete.

In the game you are Fred, who was imprisoned in the dungeon by King Notalot,
for trying to steal his six gems.

As luck would have it, the gems are also stored on the same level as the
dungeon, so if you are clever you can escape from the clutches of the baddie
and make your way to freedom.

The game recognises 24 verbs and uses the standard verb/noun format.



HUNCHY
by Mike Mannion
from Computer Gamer, March 1986

Oh no, not another version of Hunchback for the Spectrum. Oh yes, but this is
a very good version of the game, and we havent done a Spectrum Hunch game
before. (If anybody has converted the BBC one a couple of months ago, then
give us a ring, we are always interested to know).

It features 15 screens and although written entirely in BASIC is still fast.
Play is as you would arcade Hunchback as most of the features are there
including guards, fireballs, arrows, superbonus and of course the bells!

Operating instructions

z-left, x-right, enter-jump. To jump in a direction press the jump key,
release it, then press the direction key. To enter the program just type it
all in as it is and then save it using:

SAVE "hunchy" LINE 5

All the subroutines are documented to help you understand it. You can miss
out all the REM statements if you wish. My personal best score is 1045. To
load the program type LOAD "" then ENTER.
