                          ARNOLD GOES TO SOMEWHERE ELSE

                                   CHEAT SHEET


      Apart from the use of standardised phrases, which form  an  integral
      part of any adventure game  and  which  are  formally  part  of  the
      pleasure of playing, the most important commands that  lead  to  the
      "events" that in total produce a "finale" are listed at the  end  of
      this synopsis.

      During actual playing conditions heavy use is made of a  variety  of
      responses to the inputs LISTEN and EXAmine. This is  the  source  of
      light relief. For example EXAmination of the PIGEON,  attempting  to
      LISTEN  to  the  MAX  BYGRAVES  CONCERT  or  to  the  HIPPO  produce
      interesting responses.

      The input of commonly used expletives provokes a rap on the Knuckles
      for the player sufficiently frustrated to use them. The text  output
      from the adventures however, remains a  model  of  crisp,  sometimes
      flambuoyant, English.  ARNOLD himself will make comments  from  time
      to time, addressing  the  player  by  his  chosen  name.  ARNOLD  is
      humanised by such events as  the  BURIAL  AT  SEA,  a  sad  occasion
      brought about by the willingness of  the  friendly  dragon  to  PUFF
      himself into eternity for the salvation of ARNOLD and company on the
      RIVER STYX.

      The HEEL at the BIOLOGICAL SPARES STORE must be acquired  and  given
      to a languishing ACHILLES if  his  help  is  to  be  sought  at  the
      confrontation with JASON. In fact at this point CALL ACHILLES is the
      only solution. The DRAGON has to be captured and the required  input
      is HARness DRAgon (which is fine if you have a harness).

      To be provoked into listening to the KEPPER OF THE  BOOK  OF  DEATH,
      WHEN THEY CALL YOUR NAME .... is to invite an untimely end, although
      there are no other  sudden  deaths  in  the  adventure.   ARNOLD  is
      essentially  a  pacifist  and  will  only  fight  if  there  is   no
      alternative. Indeed he is content to stun CYCLOPS by using the SLING
      and SHOT and to PAY CHARON for the use of the FERRY.

      Provided that the PARCHMENT has been found and  READ  and  retained,
      then the use of the spell DLONRA extricates ARNOLD from such as  the
      WHIRLPOOL  and other NO-GO situations.

      The location  descriptions  sometimes  hold  a  clue  which  may  be
      explicit or implied as in the VAULT which "appears" to be empty  and
      patently is not. The exotic names are not concocted, they  represent
      various facets of mythology through to the late 20th century  witch-
      craft phenomena. Whilst not strung sequentially, they  will  have  a
      meaning  to  the  initiated  and  will  amuse  those  without   such
      knowledge.

      The  objective  of  the  game  is  cryptically  spelt  out  in   the
      introduction. The aim of the author was to send the Adventurer on  a
      bizarre journey, somehow mixing the ridiculous and incredible with a
      perceptible tinge of the plausible, without defying the  conventions
      of logic.  The "Mind's Eye" is the playing field .... perhaps ARNOLD
      is the ball.
