END_NOUN_DESCR TEXT 280 This adventure game was created using the Adventure Game Toolkit. A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE ADVENTURE GAME TOOLKIT The ADVENTURE GAME TOOLKIT (AGT) is designed to allow a game designer/writer to create and play his/her own high-quality text adventure games. Once created, these adventure games can be shared with and enjoyed by others -- even if they do not have a copy of the Adventure Game Toolkit themselves. Using AGT the game developer can create two distinct levels of adventure games: STANDARD LEVEL games that require no programming experience (honestly!!), only a fertile imagination. These Standard Level games only require that the game designer/writer generates the game using a word processor or text editor to describe the various locations, objects and results of actions that collectively make up the game. PROFESSIONAL LEVEL games that also make use of AGT's special adventure game metalanguage to create games as complex and rich as the game designer's imagination and prose style will allow. These games should be technically comparable with the published text adventure games from firms like Infocom. FEATURES OF THE ADVENTURE GAME TOOLKIT AGT has a number of features that make it a very comprehensive adventure game creation product. Some of these key features are: * "Look and feel" of Infocom adventure games with similar screen layout and standard vocabulary and routines. * Large standard vocabulary with potential to define many more words unique to a specific adventure. Typical games can have a vocabulary of 400 words or more. * Sophisticated parser that can understand (1) complex input commands including pronouns (IT, HIM, HER, THEM, MY and ITS), and (2) compound commands separated by AND or THEN or punctuation symbols, and (3) commands addressed to characters within the game. Here are a few examples of commands AGT can handle with ease: GET THE FLASH LIGHT AND THEN SWITCH IT ON PUT ON THE CLOAK, THEN EXAMINE IT; READ ITS LABEL PLACE THE GREEN ROCK AND THE SMALL PEBBLE BEHIND THE TREE ENTER THE HOUSE; GET ALL; EXIT; SOUTH; SOUTH THEN DOWN SULU, SET A COURSE FOR ALPHA 14 SCOTTY, BEAM DOWN A TRICORDER AND THE QWERTY MODULE DROP THE FOOD, THE KEY AND THE BOTTLE THEN UNLOCK THE DOOR WITH THE BRASS KEY AND THEN LEAVE * Function and cursor keys predefined to input frequently used commands and move directions. * SCRIPT and UNSCRIPT commands to echo game output to printer. * Total compatibility with the last version of Generic Adventure Game System (GAGS version 1.07) and GAGS' large established library of text adventures. GAGS was the precursor to AGT. TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE ADVENTURE GAME TOOLKIT Look for a file named AGTBLURB.TXT on this disk or the place/service where you got this disk.

King Fredrick III has dispatched you to rescue his only daughter, the beautiful Princess Ann, from the dungeons of Baron von Evil's castle. You have also been asked to recapture the Baron's treasure of gold, silver and gems, which he gained by cruelly exploiting his serfs. If you can rescue the princess and return all of the Baron's ill-gotten treasures, King Fredrick has promised you Princess Ann's hand in marriage. Your quest will be filled with peril. The seven lone knights who were sent previously on this crusade all vanished without a trace. If you are to succeed where so many others have failed, you must use all your strength and cunning. And be very lucky!! CRUSADE ADVENTURE was first published in BASIC for Commodore and Apple computers in the November 1982 issue of MICRO magazine. END_INTRODUCTION
