The Balrog and the Cat Walkthrough, ZX Spectrum
23A walkthrough of the ZX Spectrum game, The Balrog and the Cat. A 1988 text adventure from Zenobi Software. The Tale So Far ....
There was nothing a BALROG enjoyed more than a 'green-cheese' sandwich, especially one that had been allowed to 'ferment' for a week or two! IT also helped if the cheese had been laid to rest between two thick slice of good brown bread ... BALROGS have been known to go to war over such delights.
However, un-beknowns to this particular Balrog, such joys were soon to be brought to a sudden end ... by a strange 'scratching' noise at the door of his abode. This noise would cause him to become involved with the likes of 'Lemin-Rats', 'Cockroaches' and nasty 'Red-Caps', as he struggled to solve some very devious problems indeed.
Would he be able to find the means to cross the bridge or even to assist the young boy in his search for the 'impossible'? Would he dare to venture close enough to the dark trees to locate the object of his desires? Could he attract the attention of the boat-man or even discover the whereabouts of the runaway Donkey?
The answers to these and numerous other problems are all there, but are you clever enough and brave enough to find them ..... or will the task simply be too much for both YOU and the BALROG?
