VALHALLA
 Legend 1983

 CONTROLS : Keyboard
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 AIM : As a minor deity in the home of the Norse gods, Valhalla, you
 must rise on the social scale by completing six quests.
 
 GAMEPLAY : Valhalla is rather like a soap opera - the inhabitants
 behave in their various ways and get on with their own lives without
 any interference from you. They all have their own characters - Loki
 is sneaky, Thor is violent and so on. The six quests you must complete
 are to find various magical objects. A clue or two may help:

    Object	  Function			Clue
    ======        ========			====
 1. Ofnir	- the key	 	"Darkness in Midgard"
 2. Drapnir	- the ring 	 "So many choices - you could sink
				   into the pits of despair."
 3. Skornir	- the shield   "A peculiar start - a difficult decision
				    - the bald man needs defence".
 4. Skalir	- the sword
 5. Felstrong	- the axe
 6. Grimnir	- the helmet

  Finding these is far from simple and some, if discovered, must be
 deposited safely as you can't carry all of them together. As well as
 that, if you die you are sent to Hell and your objects are randomly
 scattered around the various locations, so you will have to start all
 over again. You will however keep any special objects, with the
 exceptions of Ofnir and Drapnir. (The same applies to the other
 characters). You can only have one helmet and one sword at a time, 
 and can only carry one axe or one sword - not both together. This of
 course means that you can't carry Felstrong and Skalir at the same
 time.

  As well as this you must interact with the other Valhallans, who will
 either regard you with favour or hostility depending upon your actions.
 You can offer to sell or buy objects since you have money, swords, 
 axes, shield etc. (although these are merely ordinary, non-magical
 ones). Be careful - it is all too easy to start a potentially lethal
 fight! You can butter up characters by giving them presents - for
 instance, typing GIVE AXE TO THOR might make Thor better disposed
 towards you. You can also buy objects off characters (the local
 currency is the crown) with commands like BUY AXE FROM THOR FOR 20
 CROWNS. If someone is reasonable friendly with you, they might help
 you - for instance, by doing something for you (such as ODIN GET THE
 RING). Some cupboards and chests are too stiff for you to open, even
 if you've got the key, so you'll need to rely on the goodwill of other
 stronger characters to get them open.

  All of this activity is shown on the screen. If you type commands -
 for example "DRINK THE WINE" - you will see your character carry out
 that action. Moving from location to location is simply a matter of
 entering the compass point direction (N, E, S, W) and a WHERE command
 will list the available exits. Moving around within a location is done
 using L (left) and R (right). If you have a (ordinary) ring, you can
 use celestial ringways to transport to different locations. To enter
 a building, GO NORTH; you cannot however enter huts.

  Other helpful commands include WHAT, which tells you what objects are
 present on the current screen - including anything in an open cupboard
 or chest - and WHO, which tells you who else is on the screen. HOW will
 give you a report on your current strength, while LIST will give you an
 inventory of your money and possessions. HELP may give you some
 assistance... but then again, it might equally not. PAUSE is self-
 explanatory, as are SAVE and LOAD (but you'll need Gerton Lunter's Z80
 emulator to make use of the latter two commands). PRINT will dump
 events, as reported in the text window, to the printer; NOPRINT turns
 this off. COPY will dump the entire screen to the printer.

 COMMENTS : "An excellent program all round."
 RATING : 81.5% (CRASH #1, April 1984)

 NOW : A classic adventure game. VALHALLA is rather unforgiving but is
 still not a bad game for adventure fanatics to play.
