The Story

Professor Eyestrain disappeared twenty years ago when the scientific world pooh-poohed his idea of a giant asteroid colliding with the Earth. Now the asteroid has appeared again and only Eyestrain has the solution to destroy it.

Eyestrain was last seen in a high mountainous plain - fiercely hostile to human survival. Prehistoric birds, acid rain, poisonous snakes and horrible mutations, presumably created by Eyestrain himself!

Choose one of five intrepid explorers and set out with your party of bearers around the land-scape in the search for Eyestrain. Eyestrain will ask for various items from your bearers in order to create an Asteroid deflector. You can collect previously abandoned items from other expeditions by walking over them. Once held by a bearer you can use the article when-ever you need to.

Each character has a key item which he will need to complete the mission. Your character will obey all your instructions, even stupid ones, although this may lead to some head shaking!

When stuck, the character may have a bright idea about which item to use or then again he may not.
