Talisman: Challenging the Sands of Time (http://graphicsmagician.com/polarware/compadv.htm) was a graphics adventure game published by Polarware in 1987 for the Apple ][. The game is set in an ancient Persian empire, where the player controls a prisoner who needs to avoid execution and earn his freedom by killing the evil genie. The game has nice, but slow double res graphics, so I used the fastest emulator speed to speed things up. Hope you enjoy the walkthrough!

This game is the last game published by Polarware using the Comprehend interpreter (http://graphicsmagician.com/polarware/compadv.htm).

The long play is done by Smartadventurer, a program that I wrote to automate the playing for vintage Apple ][ games. You can follow the project here: https://vinniethelung.wordpress.com/tag/smartadventurer/
