MAGIC MOUNTAIN (Phipps Associates)
----------------------------------
This is a small, fairly neat game that suffers badly from a incredibly annoying 
bug in the beginning and a couple of very illogical puzzles). Anyway...

(You begin at the foot of a mountain) GET HAT, WEAR HAT, W, PULL DOOR, ENTER, 
GET COIN (note the messge on the wall!), OUT, E, D, GIVE COIN (you buy a 
scythe), GET SCYTHE, S, E, E, D (to a hidden chamber), GET CARPET, SAY RETURN 
(to the vault – where the coin has reappeared!), GET COIN, OUT, USE SCYTHE (to 
make a cane), DROP SCYTHE, GET CANE, W, GET CASKET, E, E, E, USE CANE (to pull 
down the rope), DROP CANE, GET SHOES, WEAR SHOES, SWING ROPE (across the 
fissure), N, CATCH LIZARD (in the casket), W, OPEN CASKET (the lizard eats the 
spider), DROP CASKET, GET BOTTLE, D, LIFT TRAPDOOR, GET BOOK, READ BOOK (”Rise 
and shine” will make the carpet fly), DROP BOOK, U, GET BLANKETS, W, E, UNCORK 
BOTTLE (a genie appears and grants you one wish – be careful with your wording 
or he won’t obey), MOVE ROCKS (duh! ”Rocks” aren’t mentioned anywhere! He clears 
the passage for you), S, TIE BLANKETS (they form a rope), DROP BLANKETS, CLIMB 
ROPE, E, GET LANTERN, W, CLIMB ROPE, RISE AND SHINE (the blanket takes you 
across the crevasse), INSERT COIN (the machine produces some matches), GET 
MATCHES, SAY RETURN, DROP BOTTLE,  GET COIN, OUT, E, E, SWING ROPE, E, S, RISE 
AND SHINE, E, S, BUY PARCHMENT (with the coin), GET PARCHMENT, READ PARCHMENT 
(”Phooey”), DROP PARCHMENT, N, N, LIFT SLAB (you find a tunnel underneath), 
CRAWL, GET KEYS, STRIKE MATCH (this turns on the lantern in the next move!!), E 
(with the lantern lit, you can see a sword), GET SWORD, W, S, S, KILL DRAGON 
(with the sword – don’t go E first!!), E, UNLOCK DOOR, ACB, OPEN DOOR, DROP 
CARPET, GET OARS, OPEN DOOR, E, DROP SWORD, GET DINGHY, ROW DINGHY (across the 
river), N, N, DROP OARS, GET SCROLL, S, PHOOEY (this allows you to enter the 
Scroll Bearer’s Path), S, W (you have managed to escape with the scroll!!!)

Note: there appears to be a bug in the game, so if the lizard isn’t in the cave, 
when you arrive, it’s probably because you’ve done something in a wrong order. 
Follow the directions *exactly* and it should be there, whereas another order of 
things usually won’t work.
