SOLUTION TO KING'S QUEST I

                       BY PHILIP BURNELL

PROLOG
I FOUND THAT THE BEST WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF THE VARIOUS LOCATIONS IN THIS GAME
IS TO SET UP A GRID SYSTEM AND NUMBER THE ROWS FROM 1-8 AND THE COLUMNS FROM
A TO F. THE GAME STARTING POSITION IS REFERENCED AS A4 AND THE ROCK 2 FRAMES
TO THE LEFT IS A2 AND THE STUMP 3 FRAMES TO THE RIGHT IS A7. THE WELL WOULD
BE AT F8.

THE GAME
GO TO A3."OPEN DOORS" GO AND SEE THE KING."BOW TO KING" "SPEAK TO KING"
(YOU SHOULD NOW HAVE 4 POINTS) GO TO A2 "MOVE ROCK" "GET DAGGER" (7 POINTS =11)
GO TO A7 "LOOK IN STUMP" "GET POUCH" "OPEN POUCH" (7 MORE POINTS =18 IN TOTAL)
GO TO F8 - THE WELL "GET IN BUCKET" "GET IN WATER" "SWIM" "CUT ROPE" "DIVE"
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WELL GO THRU A BLACK HOLE AT THE LOWER LEFT.BE CAREFUL,
DON'T GET TO CLOSE TO THE DRAGON BUT CLOSE ENOUGH TO DO THE NEXT THING
(YOU ARE DOING GAME SAVES AS YOU GO ALONG AREN'T YOU?) "THROW WATER" NOW
"GET MIRROR" AND EXIT CAVE.(21 POINTS =39 TOTAL) GO TO F5 WHERE THE FAIRY HANGS
OUT.GET A MAGIC CHARM FROM THE FAIRY.YOU MAY HAVE TO GO BACK AND FORTH TO E5
UNTIL THE FAIRY SHOWS UP .GO TO E5 AND "GET CLOVER". BE SURE THAT YOU ARE CLOSE
ENOUGH TO THE 4 LEAF CLOVER TO BE ABLE TO GET IT.(2 POINTS = 41 TOTAL).GO TO 
D8 (WITCH'S HOUSE) "OPEN DOOR" GO TO THE CUPBOARD "OPEN CUPBOARD" "GET CHEESE"
GO INTO THE ROOM ON THE RIGHT "GET NOTE" "READ NOTE" NOW LET'S GET OUT OF HERE
BEFORE YOUR FAVOURITE WITCH SHOWS UP. (7 POINTS = 48 TOTAL) GO LEFT ALL THE WAY
TO D3 (THE BOWL IS HERE) "GET BOWL" "LOOK IN BOWL" "READ WORD" "FILL" (4 POINTS
=52 TOTAL) GO UP 1 TO C3."GET PEBBLES" GO DOWN AND LEFT TO D2 "GET WALNUT"
"OPEN WALNUT" (PEBBLES IS WORTH 1 POINT AND THE OPEN WALNUT IS 6 FOR A TOTAL
OF 59). GO RIGHT AND DOWN TO E3."SPEAK TO ELF" "WEAR RING" (3POINTS = 62)
GO DOWN AND LEFT TO F2. "CLIMB TREE" WALK CAREFULLY ALONG THE BRANCH AND
"GET EGG" FOR FUN YOU CAN FALL OUT OF THE TREE OR RETRACE YOUR STEPS TO GET
DOWN.(8 POINTS FOR THE EGG = 70 TOTAL).GO RIGHT INTO THE WALLED GARDEN AT F3
"GET CARROT" (2 POINTS = 72) GO RIGHT TO F7 "OPEN GATE" "SHOW CARROT TO GOAT"
(5 POINTS = 77). NOW THE GOAT SHOULD BE FOLLOWING ALONG SIDE.LEAVE THE PEN
AND GO RIGHT AND THEN UP TO THE BRIDGE. THE GOAT WILL GET RID OF THE TROLL
FOR 4 POINTS = 81.CROSS THE BRIDGE AND "SPEAK TO GNOME" IF YOU CAN GUESS HIS
NAME YOU WILL GET SOME BEANS.IF NOT YOU GET A KEY WHICH WILL OPEN THE DOOR
AT LOCATION E2.HOWEVER TELL THE GNOME HIS NAME IS "IFNKVOHGROGHPRM" "GET BEANS"
(9 POINTS = 90 TOTAL). OK, SO YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW HIS NAME WAS FIGURED OUT.
WRITE DOWN ON A PIECE OF PAPER THE ENTIRE ALPHABET STARTING WITH A  B  C AND
BESIDE IT WRITE DOWN THE ALPHABET BACKWARDS SO THAT BESIDE A IS Z AND BESIDE
B IS Y AND SO ON.NOW DO A LETTER SUBSTITUTION FOR RUMPLESTILTSKIN.(I THINK
THAT'S HOW IT'S SPELT).IF YOU RECALL, THE NOTE FROM THE WITCH'S HOUSE HINTED
THAT THINGS SHOULD BE LOOKED AT BACKWARDS. TO CONTINUE,GO TO THE WOODCUTTER'S
HOUSE AT B8 VIA C6,C7,B7 TO B8. YOU SHOULD GET 2 POINTS FOR THE SWIM. TOTAL
= 92. ENTER THE HOUSE AND "SPEAK TO MAN" "GIVE BOWL TO MAN" "GET FIDDLE"
(6 POINTS = 98). LEAVE THE HOUSE AND GO TO E7 WERE THE BIG BIRD IS AT THE 
ENTRANCE TO THE CAVE.GO NEAR TO THE CAVE ENTRANCE AND JUMP UP TO CATCH THE
BIRD. IT MAY TAKE SOME PRACTICE.ONCE YOU CATCH THE BIRD, IN FACT IT CATCHES
YOU, THE POINTS ARE 3 FOR A TOTAL OF 101.AFTER THE BIRD DROPS YOU GO LEFT TO B3
"GET MUSHROOM" (1 POINT = 102). GO RIGHT AND FALL DOWN INTO THE HOLE. FOLLOW
THE CAVE AND STOP JUST BEFORE THE RAT. DON'T GET TO CLOSE OR IT WILL KILL
YOU. "GIVE CHEESE TO RAT" (2 POINTS ) "OPEN DOOR" "PLAY FIDDLE" GO DOWN AND
"GET SCEPTRE" "GET SHIELD" (17 POINTS = 121). GO LEFT UP THE STAIRS, AT THE
ENTRANCE TO A HOLE "EAT MUSHROOM" (2 POINTS ) THEN EXIT THROUGH THE HOLE.
(1 POINT FOR A TOTAL OF 124) YOU SHOULD NOW BE AT C1.GO RIGHT AND UP TO A7
WHICH IS WHERE THE STUMP IS AND NEAR THE STUMP "PLANT BEANS" (2 POINTS = 126)
CLIMB UP THE BEANSTALK.ITS VERY TRICKY BUT ONCE YOU GET TO THE TOP REMEMBER
EXACTLY WERE YOU GET OFF BECAUSE COMING BACK YOU HAVE TO GET ONTO THE BEAN
STALK AT THE THIS EXACT PLACE.GO RIGHT 4 FRAMES,THEN DOWN."LOOK IN TREE"



"LOOK IN HOLE" "GET SLING" (2 POINTS = 128). GO UP AND LEFT ONE FRAME EACH
(YOU SHOULD SEE THE GIANT) "USE SLING" "GET CHEST" (10 POINTS = 138), NOW
GET BACK TO THE BEANSTALK AND CLIMB DOWN.GO BACK TO THE CASTLE AND SEE THE
KING. "OPEN DOOR" "BOW TO KING" (4 POINTS FOR 142). THE KING DIES AND YOU ARE
THE NEW KING.

I HAVE NO IDEA IF IT'S POSSIBLE TO GET MORE THAN 142 POINTS. IF YOU CAN 
GET MORE I WOULD APPRECIATE YOU DROPPING ME A MESSAGE ON THE MULTITECH 
BBS AT 604-733-1383 AND TELL ME HOW YOU DID IT.
