About the Story

The king has been kidnapped by a gang of marauding Picts, who are keeping him incarcerated in the dungeon of a castle to the north. Your task is a simple one: retrieve the gold that will pay the king's ransom!

This very short and simple game accompanied the Graphics Adventure Creator package as a sample adventure.
