TRIAL OF ARNOLD BLACKWOOD
(Arnold the Adventurer II)
Written by Colin Harris (Delbert the Hamster Software)
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (Spectrum Version)
Scenario
Arnold has a lump on his head and cannot remember why Lord Erebus
has summoned him and must work out what he requires you to do.
Notes
1. Part two uses many of the same locations and characters as
its predecessor, though Arnold\'s actions have some changes.
2. The sailor is a red herring.
