| Lords of Time | Level 9 Computing | 1984 | The dream returned last night: so passing strange! It seemed that History was cast askew, and dinosaurs remained to fight Mankind. But the great beasts for all their Lizard might, were caught in cunning pits and traps, and doomed. You see brave knights, and dragons breathing fire. But 'tis the latter who are good and fine, the knights are evil to a man. Their armour melts, the knights are those in chess. You've White, with King and Pawns alone, against the Black army. But yet, in just a dozen moves, you win! You look at your opponent, it's no man but a home micro known for Chess, the maker's own program! The board is nine-by-nine. Around it sit nine men. They talk and giggle, reaching to the board, and moving living pieces - living men. Each move reverberates, your vision blurs and fades. It is the present, on a TV a star (of cow-b movies, once but little shown). The president? His trigger finger poised? You read the morning paper: something's changed - the great recovery from North Sea Oil . . is gone. The money pays the unemployed instead. It's too absurd, you wake, it's true!! A poem lingers in your memory: Into the cauldron you must throw an olive branch, makes friendship grow. A dragon's wing, a sign of flight, An ivory tusk, a sign of might. Mix in the teardrop, a touch of sadness, and the evil eye, a sign of badness. Add a dinosaur egg, a sign of birth, with the jester's cap, a symbol of mirth, plus the silicon chip, a vital invention, and the gold buckle, a bone of contention. If you do this, before time runs out, a winner you'll be - there is no doubt. But take care when you find the lords, or you'll not gain your just rewards, your quest will all have been in vain, and you will have to start again. Simply complete the formula to defeat the Evil Timelords who are meddling with Earth's History [Ritchardo]*** [137] | labelimagesubject |
