Enrak Adventure

This interactive fiction title is an MS-DOS port of a 1982 CoCo adventure game entitled Treasures of the Enrakian Empire. The original game's description follows:

During the summer of 1982, we decided to write Enrak, It was quite a challenge for us but we have finally finished writing the game. It look nine months to program the game. In my opinion* it is the best program we have written for the Color Computer. Many hours of frustration were put into Enrak , but we think* it has finally paid off.

As in most Adventures,, there is an objective to achieve. This Adventure is no different. In Enrak your' objective is to find the 10 treasures of the Enrakian Empire. This may seem like an easy task but it is not as easy as you think, A vulture and a gunfighter are only some of the obstacles that must be overcome, The game consists of 50 locations. Also, there are approximately 80 words that this Adventure understands. In some games of this type, the verbs are listed for the player's convenience. I am not going to do this because they can be found by looking at the listing of the program. If it*s necessary to look at the list to help you find treasures or overcome obstacles, it's really not worth the trouble to continue playing the game. The reasons for Adventures are to challenge your skills and intelligence. If you have problems finding something, just use your common sense, skill, curiosity and experience. This particular Adventure is semi-difficult. It was made for the junior adventurer. On the other hand, it really is enjoyable and challenging for all ages!

Enrak accepts such commands as GET, DROP or N for north. In some places there are short pauses, but the pauses do not slow r the game down very much. The game also consists of a saving feature. All you have to do is type SAVE and it will ask you for a filename.
