EL DORADO /Atlantis Software/
                        =============================

This game is strictly deterministic, without random events, so it is possible
to give exact step by step solution. The offered solution is a maximal score
solution - the game itself may be solved in less turns.

                                Solution:
                                ---------

                                  Hints:
                                  ------

- You can sometimes get an useful clue by typing HELP.
- You will meet pygmies only once in the game, so you must not skip the only
  opportunity for trading.
- You must not visit the starting location more than thrice while playing the
  game, else Inti will kill you.
- There is a lot of tasks in the game which are not necessary to do - they
  only increases the score.
- Jumping is never a good idea in this game.
- Instead of LOOK THROUGH, LOOK BEHIND will work as well.
- For a fun, try top OPEN COFFIN then LOOK COFFIN in the Thunder God's burial
  chamber. You will find a dull skull-cap. Try to put it on Inty instead of
  putting the golden helmet...
- Also for more funny responses, try to: WEAR HELMET (assuming that you are
  carrying it), SWIM (assuming that there is a water nearby), TURN TORCH ON
  (assuming that you are carrying an unlit torch) and CLIMB CREEPERS (assuming
  that there are creepers nearby).

A relatively good illustrated game, written by Dale Samson using The Quill. An
interesting fact in this game is the fact that the game has pictures which are
made exclusively of UDG characters. Such graphic is, of course, nothing
special, but I think that what the author made using only UDG chars is really
miracle in comparing with other games that have character only graphic, for
example, Mafia Contract (the only other game with reasonable good UDG graphic
is Subsunk). The parser in the game is a strict verb-noun parser. The game
itself is easy and logical, although it is not so easy to find a maximal score
solution, because some not so easy puzzles (LEVER SLAB) need to be solved to
achieve a maximal score.
