Description of Castaway
HOW TO PLAY
A ButtonWare Adventure is a fictional novel in which you
are the main character. You will be given a quest which you
must successfully complete. You may also be asked to
collect treasures during your travels.
Your PC will become your guide. It will tell you what
it sees and hears, and will obey your commands, (most of the
time). Although it speaks fluent English, it has trouble
understanding long sentences. Please limit your commands to
not more than two words, with the verb as the first word
(e.g. throw ball). If the computer does not know or
understand a word, it will tell you so. In that case, please
use another word of similar meaning.
We strongly advise you to build a map during your
travels so that you can easily return to previously explored
areas.
The computer will give you the following information at
the start of each round of play:
1. A description of your current location.
2. Items that you can see at this location.
3. Directions in which you can move (n-north, s-south,
e-east, w-west, u-up, d-down)
4. Treasures will be marked by an '*' before and after
the word.
You must then respond by typing the action you wish to
perform.
