Title screen

Intro movie

Immigration form used to create your character.

You get involved with a passenger, of opposing sex to the one you choose in the form.

A pretty girl, but the dialog choises are rather corny, even for the day.

You can get some lively replies if you try to tease her. She threatens to relieve you of some of your teeth if you don't talk nice.

Our pilot comes by for a chat; unfortunately he is a bit drunk, and can't fly the plane anymore.

After some more dialog your get to fly the plane, and it crashes after the fuel runs out.

Now you have to find your way out, and maybe pick up some lost objects on the way.

We find our first AD from our sponsor, it's a matchbook.

Now we have an inventory screen on top, with zero gold and not quite full health showing on the left.

In the seat pockets are the 'safety-on-board' leaflets. You can turn around 360 degrees, and also lower and rise your viewing level (not angle it though)

In the cargo hold are some loose pidgeons (I think), a compass, plus some medial supplies which you ca use immediately to regain health.

Finally out of the airplane. It looks more broken on the outside than from within.

More corny pick-up lines for dialog: Are you hurt? Yes, but it feels much better when you hold my hand.

Me: I'll wait while you go find some help, that ok? She: Me? Of course YOU will go, and immediately! (But she will be my company for the road, no doubt)

The first episode is about exploring the caverns of Petra.

The first NPC you meet.

That's a really mysterious person with a glowing staff.

This book gives some exposition: there's legendary treasure hidden somewhere, and the fate of the world depends on it not falling into wrong hands. Who'd have thought?

"Use" the carpet to open a "hidden" passage.

Oh look, there's this tunnel with huge boulders that roll out down the corridor, damaging the player. Now what does this remind me of?

Can you spot the scorpion in this image? Walking over one is bad for the player's health.

Another NPC.

This one provides some background information and hints on completing the quest.

A room with the water pipe puzzle: connect the pipes so that water flows into the cauldron, which will then lower and open the door.
