The game's title screen. There are no game options that are accessed via the menu bar.

The game begins with a fly-by of the castle. Music plays. A voice over tells the player that the king does not trust the baron and wants a spy to investigate.

This is the baron in his quarters

To play the game as a spy the player must first enter the top secret Spy Hut

In the Spy Hut the player must choose their disguise, tear the scroll which contains the questions the king wants answering and, of course, read the spy manual.

The Spy's Handbook tells the player everything they need to know about their mission.

The main exploration screen. From here areas of the castle can be selected.

The Gatehouse has been selected. From here individual areas can be examined in greater detail.

The gatehouse roof examined in more detail. The player can delve even deeper into the castle than this - see the next screenshot

Some parts of the picture can be clicked on to reveal the scene behind the wall or under the roof.

Some sections of the castle give the player access to the video sequences. This one takes the player into the armoury

Meet the armourer. He sets simple tasks and describes the weapons in this room

One of the armourer's simple tasks is quenching a sword blade to harden it

One of the armourer's simple tasks is to sharpen a sword blade on a grinding wheel

This is the cook in the castle kitchens. As with the armoury there are hot spots that provide information and simple tasks to be performed here.

The baron is suspicious. Before the player can enter his quarters they must answer a question.

Getting the baron's question wrong means a trip to the dungeon. Luckily the jailer can smuggle the player out in the dung cart - for a price

The Save Game option

When pieces of the map are found they are placed in the players spy chest, behind a secret sliding panel

The certificate awarded at the end of the game.
