BBCBASIC.COM program is located on the N: drive in user area 3. To run this, look in the Internet Adapter or Headless menu and select Cloud CPM. After CPM loads and you are presented with a A:0> prompt, type the drive (N:), and then type the user area (user 3). If you type DIR, look for the COM file (BBCBASIC.COM). Enter that filename at the prompt to execute the Golden Flutes and Great Escapes.
"You move cautiously down a long, dark corridor beneath the castle of Nembuzur. You notice that your torch is beginning to burn a little low. You'll have to find a new one soon. At the end of the hall you come to three closed doors. After a moment's hesitation, you open the third door. A saber-toothed tiger leaps out at you and gashes your left arm. Quickly you draw your magic sword..." -- From the book "Golden Flutes and Great Escapes" by Delton T. Horn.
Here are four complete adventure game programs -- The Golden Flute, The Great Escape, Treasure Hunt and Mars -- all originally written by Horn, now ported to BBC BASIC on the NABU by Brandon Taylor. Includes versions for both 40-column and 80-column NABU PCs!
