I just can't figure this one out. You're obviously in a maze, and the eight symbols around you represent the eight characters in your party. Eight keys on the keyboard correspond to the party members (eg. "K" is "Knight") and provide offensive and defensive strength of the members. Move with the ATARI cursor keys (- is up, = is down, + is left, * is right). Hold down shift while using those keys and you'll fire an arrow. Hold down CTRL and you'll fire a fireball. Press I to find out how many arrows and fireballs remain, and also how fatigued the party is. Some objects in the maze look like your character symbols. Others look like white or black circles, or bells. I can't find any way to interact with objects...the V key doesn't appear to do anything but it also doesn't buzz when you press it, so it must have some use. I'm obviously missing something crucial. And they must call it "Creepers" because your adventurers are the slowest-moving bunch of slouches on earth.
