515.0. "Tombs & Treasure" by JARETH::EDP (Always mount a scratch monkey.) Tue Sep 11 1990 18:12

    Tombs & Treasure is an adventure game, like Shadowgate.  It comes from
    Infocom.  Infocom is previously known for making top-of-the-line
    computer adventure games.  However, they have since restructured and
    moved to the west coast.  And this game doesn't use English sentences,
    so it doesn't have the superb parser Infocom was renowned for.
    
    However, the game is pretty good.  The user interface is a bit clunky,
    but not too much.  So far, the game doesn't seem to be laid out in a
    maze of passageways like Shadowgate, but there are a variety of places
    to go and interesting things to do.

    I think you have to go to the hi-priest tomb and defeat the monster
    inside then use change and go to jose and push the wall then get the
    tile then get the one-eyed mask                          more later

    Re .2:
    
    First, look up "censer" in the dictionary -- it is possible you have it
    already but do not realize it.  I didn't know the word until I looked
    it up.
    
    Next, I think, but I am not sure, that the censer is in the room
    below the room with the headless statue.  You have to do something to
    the statue to open the doorway to the room below.
    
    Also, do you know the method to get clues from the game?  You can get
    clues in the Nunnery if you know how.

    It's been too long; I can't remember the details.  I do know you don't
    get through there directly, but I can't tell you what to do next.  If
    nobody else has any ideas, I suggest you call the Nintendo game
    counselors at 206-885-7529.
