STORY

Nicaragua, 1980.

Rodolfo Skylarriente, the Urugyayan archaeologist, is looking for the invaluable astrolabe of Leon Viejo.

A guerilla Nicaraguan archaeologist, Jorge, friend of Rodolfo, had discovered an invaluable astrolabe in Leon Viejo, and had hidden it so that it could not be found by the junta.

Jorge was murdered by the dictator Somoza years ago, so he took the secret in his grave. 
Your goal is to find the astrolabe and the invaluable notes and deliver it to the Nicaraguan national museum.

Good luck!

 

INSTRUCTIONS/KEYS

To play this game, you only have to use the numbers (0-7).

Please have in mind that:

When you take an object, the object you were already holding returns to its initial place.

It is important to hold a specific object when you make a specific choice.

Some choices may appear only after you have made some other correct choices.

If you don’t want to see the loading images, press <N> in the instructions section.

Please also note that finding the codes act like a checkpoint, as you do not need to do again all these actions that helped you find the codes.


SOLUTION

If you find the game difficult, you can load the dsk file and then type run”SOLUTIO1.BAS” (for side A) or run“SOLUTIO2.BAS” (for side B).

The correct steps to finish the game will be showed one by one, so there is no possibility to see all the solutions altogether while you don’t want to. But you may see some unwanted information, as there is not only one sequence of choices in order to complete the game.

 

BONUS GAME!

There is a BONUS GAME, which is the same for all languages.

HISTORY

You are in Patagonia and you just found a rare ancient object in a cave.
You entered a military base as you were cold.
