How to Play:

Use your mouse to guide your alter ego. (An alter ego is a character outside the real world that resembles you in some way). Using your mouse to choose choices of what to do, like picking up certain things and moving your alter ego around. One tip: if you die, you can maximize your enjoyment by starting over so you can think your actions over instead of cheating by going back. You may also want to read carefully to die less often.

Inventory

Hero, you see the dragon’s maze ahead. To your left, you see a tree with a branch hanging off. To your right, you see a giant rock. Behind you is the bridge you just crossed to get here. Hmm, that cave mouth looks suspicious.

There is nothing you can do to move the

boulder.

You get the stick, which is about as big

as the mouth cave.

As you begin crossing the bridge, the giant boulder moves and the Dragon comes out and has an appetizer: You.

As soon as you enter the cave, it’s stalactites and stalagmites begin moving and crunch you up.

Hero, you see the dragon’s maze ahead. To your left, you see a tree with the branch you took gone. To your right, you see a giant rock. Behind you is the bridge you just crossed to get here. Maybe there is something to do with the stick?

Use stick

As soon as you place the stick in the cave it starts trying to break the stick. You laugh at its feeble attempts of breaking the gigantic branch and step inside.

Inside the cave, you see a few passages. One to the left, which seems to have a reddish glow, and one to the right. To your front is some strange glyphs. You could possibly open the Book of Symbols that your grandfather gave you to decode the hieroglyphics.

Well, you seem to have stumbled upon the den. Happy stomach traveling!

You don’t like to read, do you?

When the locals said a maze, they really meant it! So, big hero, are you going to save this town by sitting around? Find your way around!!! Hey, at least there is a well at the middle of the room.

Well, that is not much of a maze. In this room, you see a jewel hilted dagger, and a small mouse hole. In the book you have, “The Beginning Adventurer’s Guide to Monsters”, you read that sometimes mice can turn into giant mice that hop around and box. Unfortunately, you are in one of those type of cartoons which is a game.

Mouse Fight

You pick up the dagger.

A gigantic THING breaks the wall, comes through and looks around a bit. You take that time to look up the monster, which is an Orat from another bit of data called Space Quest 1. But who cares? All it does is stuff you into a ball and starts bouncing you around pretending you are a ball. Too bad you didn’t survive the process of becoming a ball.

Wait!You have been resurrected.

up in the process, into tiny itty bitty pieces.

Stomp Out Douse with Canteen

Soon your boots begin melting. They start searing your feet, the pain you feel is hurting very bad. You are now glued to the floor

by your melting boots. Your feet feel itchy now. You look down and see the fire is creeping up your legs and your feet are melting. Now Your body is charred, with no charred remains of

your feet. Looks like you’ve come to a halt in life!

You easily douse the flames with the water in your canteen, but your canteen gets destroyed by the fire.

You find a giant hose, which you take.

Light bomb and run!!!!

You light the bomb and run a long way out of the room. The fuse is very long. Before the fuse is ¾ finished, an Orat comes out of the wall and looks around. After he is finished, he picks up the bomb and eats it.

“Bye Bye!” You say, as the Orat is blown to smithereens. You notice a sword in the wall after the explosion. You get it and leave the room, which caves in.

All the glyph says is, “Gold”.

As you stick the fuse all the way in, the wall you stuck it in opens up and you find yourself where you had started your quest. You sigh as you realize nobody will care that you

defeated the Dragon, since you have most of it’s gold (money grubbers). Luckily, you can go back through the cave any time because of the dagger you have. You live a long, and happy

life and raise a family.
