The first adventure game without text! A novel idea which failed through lack of gameplay.

Have problems with the adventure that won't talk to you? Worry no longer, for he is a hack for those good 'ol infinite lives.

Yep folks, another Your Sinclair cockup! There's a missprint in the Smash Tips booklet. I spotted two errors when typing in and running this hack:

1) Upon running this hack you will get the error message: B Integer out of range, 120:2. This is because Your Sinclair missed out a comma in the data for line 1040 as it contains the number: 1444. This can only be a number between 1-255! so the possible options are: 1,4,4,4, 14,44 or 144,44.

2) Cockup number 2: Your Sinclair have managed to miss out an entire data line, because line 1140 is missing! as after I corrected the missing comma in line 1040 (as described above) and running the hack again, I then got the: E Out of DATA, 120:1 error.

This hack does not work, so don't waste your time typing it in!
