Mike Gerrard, Peter Gerrard




How do I survive the pale bulbous eyes?

How do I get past the troll?

Where is the pirate’s chest hidden?

How do I escape the goblins’ dungeon?


In response to these and hundreds of questions sent in to magazines by frustrated adventurers needing a little help, here is The Adventurer’s Companion, a complete guide to playing four of the most popular adventures on home micros today: The Hobbit, the original Colossal Cave Adventure, and the first two Scott Adams classics, Adventureland and Pirate Adventure. The book provides a solution to every problem you will meet on these adventures, and is designed to enable you to look up the answer to a specific problem without giving away anything of the rest of the adventure. It also includes complete maps for all four adventures, allowing you to confirm whether you really have visited every location.


Mike and Peter Gerrard are regular contributors to Which Micro? and Personal Computer News. Mike Gerrard is the author of The Adventurer’s Notebook, published by Duckworth. Peter Gerrard is the author of many titles in the Duckworth Home Computing list, including the Exploring Adventures series, and he also contributes to Popular Computing Weekly, Commodore Horizons and Micro Adventurer. He has written two best-selling adventures both published by Romik Software.
