The Village: Underworld

Underworld: The Village is an Adventure game, developed and published by Orpheus, which was released in Europe in 1985. You are sitting at home one day reading the newspaper when a headline catches your eye: GREAT FIND OF TREASURE AT SLEEPY VILLAGE. The next evening you get into the car and set out to find the village. After hours of driving, You pull up outside a hall. It is dark and you take the torch from the car...

This is the setting for the Underworld Adventure. To complete the game, you must collect 20 items of treasure and drop them in the boot of your car. The words that you type should be in the form VERB/NOUN, for instance GET TORCH, OPEN DOOR, GO NORTH. Occasionally you may type longet sentences, like WALK OVER STEP, or TAKE YALE KEY.
