Additional Comments
Was sold with a Swordquest - EarthWorld comic book.
Two different versions of this game exist. The PAL version has a different solution (and clues), the inventory bar extends to the bottom of the screen, and the sound effects for finding each clue are all parts of the same tune.
The meaning of the FireWorld clue (depicting a food and a dagger object) is still unknown.
The EarthWorld contest was won by Steven Bell.
The titlescreen shown below, created by Mimi Nyden, was found on a disk owned by Jerome Domurat, titled Demo '82 and dated 4-15-82.

A horrible, pointless game that did not make any sense. Previous adventure games such as Adventure, Haunted House, and Superman were excellent games. Swordquest was the game that finally made me give up on the 2600.
