              Welcome to Caverns of Chaos. This is a D and D  type
  text adventure.I wrote this adventure in Quickbasic and compiled
  it with Microsoft Quickbasic 4.5 compiler. Caverns Of Chaos is
  shareware and if enjoyed should be registered.

               This is the first time I've written anything in Basic,
   so with only two months experence there are bound to be some errors.
   I welcome any and all comments (even nasty ones) especially from
   Quickbasic programmers.

               This program was written using only: Print,Input,Locate,
   Goto,Color,Randomize and a few Do: while loops. There are no graphics
   yet AS I'm having trouble with the Get and Put statements. The more I
   edited this program the more I learned. The more I learned the more I
   wanted to re-edit...

             Caverns of Chaos is a text adventure DND type game.You are a
 citzen of Pandaris, a small island somewhere in the Atlantic. Your Kingdoms'
 royal couple has been 'King and Queen-napped '.Being a brave person you
 take matters into your own hands after the first search party fails to return.
 You must find the royal couple and return them safely to Pandaris.
             
              Your adventure takes you to Manhatas, another small island
 located nearby.You must enter the 'Caverns of Chaos' and find the troll'
 Landaris'.He alone knows where they are hidden.

             
               Caverns of Chaos is a fun, easy to play text adventure.It is
 the first of three adventures.Keep your eyes open for Caverns Of Chaos II:
  The Forests Of Fury....Coming soon to a bbs near you.

              This is a very simple game to play. First make sure you have
   your caps lock on. All the words you input  MUST  be in all  CAPITALS.
   You may input any words that are enclosed in  [BRACKETS] as well as
   YES or NO. You may also easliy  QUIT from almost any prompt.
            

             Caverns Of Chaos is written more like an interactive story
   so no real experence is needed to play. A brave adventurer can finish
   Caverns in one or two evenings. Humor and commom sense dictate this
   game NOT strength AND spells.
            
              I hope you enjoy playing this game half as much as I did
    writing it.
