It's been a long time since I played this game on the Apple ][, so I decided to give the Commodore 64 version a go. Same experience, but with way better graphics and sound, although I was used to the Apple ][ clicks and beeps.

In case you are wondering how I can remember where all the objects, people and animals are, I really can't. I am using this old map with my notes:

The montage is based on the C64 disk map, put together by the community long ago.

Highlights:
1:09 skillfully avoiding a fanatic
3:33 falling was intentional to save trencher beak, breaking a shuba wasn't
7:00 The Wise Child
8:18 happen to remember this lady's address for a spare shuba
13:03 me goofing
14:00 sleeping in the sky, D'Ol Neshon
17:00 one misstep, time wasted
18:47 finite pocket space, dropping items for later use
21:36 gliding over the temple gate
25:44 Raamo's mother
28:12 didn't go back to kiniport every hidden elixer (sic) in the game
29:43 what should be a perfect platform hopping
31:13 trencher beaks break, better have a contingency plan
32:15 Wand of Befal
34:36 Spirit Lamp
36:11 no other use for that key
39:30 got attacked by a fanatic, one day wasted
45:40 Vatar
47:34 the single use for the Spirit Bell
