The Quest for the Staff of the First Moon

This is a ZX Spectrum 48k text adventure that I developed using the Quill adventure writer software in 1984.

The game itself is a typical text adventure of the time, with the usual verb based commands (N, S, E, W, GET, LOOK, INVENTORY, etc).  It's set in a fantasy world and the title is very much the objective of the game!

I sent it to Gilsoft at the time, who agreed to publish it on a compilation tape.  However, as an arrogant 17 year old I turned them down because I thought I could make more money than they were offering elsewhere...

Obviously, it then sat in a box in the attic for forty years!

I've now rescued it and saved it as a .z80 snapshot file.

There is another box somewhere in the attic with a full walkthrough.  If I find it I'll scan it in and upload it as an extra document for those who get stuck.

Please don't feel obliged to make a payment!  My 17 year old self would be delighted, but I'm now just happy to finally publish the game (in a way that would have been utter science fiction forty years ago).

NOTE: Please excuse the spelling mistakes!  How I managed to spell 'hear' as 'here' more than once I'll never know.  If I'm able to rescue the original data file I will have a go at correcting them and republishing.
