About the Story

The ancient crown of the Akorny family of Transsylvanian feudal barons has been stolen, and Count Akorny has promised that whoever can return the crown to his castle will get his daughter's hand in marriage. You've just left the gates of Akorny castle behind you on your quest for the crown. Not having the foggiest idea of where to find the crown, you feel strangely reluctant to enter the woods, what with the howling wolves or the rumours of man-eating trolls. However, there's no turning back; count Akorny has no sympathy for cowards, and will throw you in jail if you return empty-handed.

Baf's Guide


This crown-quest was originally written for the Acorn Atom. The author's documentation describes it thusly:

If you're looking for a good game, this program is probably nothing for you. In fact, the game is almost ridiculously primitive, and the parser is so stupid and the messages so terse that some puzzles must be almost unsolvable without reading the source.
Seldom has an author's assessment of his own work been so accurate. The game is of some interest, however, for how it is implemented: Olsson wrote a small Atom emulator in C to run the original BASIC source code.
