THE INGS OF THREEK
by Norman Brooks
from ZX Computing Apr/May.1985

A unique adventure for the daring ZX81 owner
from Norman Brooks in darkest Kent.


You are Captain of the Earthship Adventurer. While
patrolling deepest space, you receive news from a Galactic
Trader of a new and, as yet, unexplored planet called
"ORIEN". Tales abound of a lost planet inhabited by strange
creatures called "INGS".

You set course for Orien ... your mission to find them and
ask them about their quest in life. (Good Luck)


Program notes

LOAD "INGS" and then RUN the program.

The stage is set by offering the above introduction followed
by instructions which lay the ground rules. Basically, the
idea is to collect KEYWORDS (written in inverse letters) as
you progress through the adventure, picking up objects on
the way, which may help you to overcome certain obstacles.
To say more would defeat the object of the game, and you are
left to learn by trial and error. Have fun ...
