PREHISTORIC ADVENTURE By Crusader Computing Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (Spectrum Version) Scenario You are at Stonehenge. In the center of the ancient ring of stones sits an old man who beckons you over. "Listen to me," he whispers, "For I know the secret of eternal youth. I know how to make a potion from the large blue Amaranth fruit, but my supply is now exhausted. The fruit grows on a tall arrow leafed tree found on but one island. I recall hiding the map to the island beside an underground stream beneath this plain, but over the centuries I have forgotten precisely where. Be warned, brave Adventurer, that the potion can brew within the stomachs of certain animals, and those that eat them, so fearsome creatures from many ages still roam the island today. Hurry now, bring me the fruit and you too may drink the elixir of life." Notes 1. The above introduction is displayed on the screen while the game loads, but if playing from a snapshot you will miss it. 2.
