Africa Gardens
AFRICA GARDENS HOTEL
Written by Tom Davies
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (C64 version)
Scenario
After a long journey you find yourself standing outside a faded Victorian guesthouse. The cold winter evening seems to be getting colder and misty rain swirls amongst the leafless trees around Africa Gardens. You push open the heavy door and enter the silent hall.
Notes
- A large number of objects in the game are red herrings.
- The ruby and the diamonds increase your score when carried, but you cannot carry them and everything you need in the treasure chamber at the same time, which means that it isn't possible to score 100%.
