It seems this weird, difficult and somewhat scary little game is based on a "book by John Worsley". Does anyone know anything about that book? Is it a horror novel, a gamebook, a history book? It always intrigued me a lot. I can't find anything about it on the Internet, so any info will be much appreciated Smile

The game was sold in a big case, so I think the book was included?

EDIT: Yep, reads so right here on Lemon64 Wink

The book was mostly a short story containing clues to the location of diamond talismans hidden on the Isle of Wight.

I recently scanned it. The PDF is on Bombjack here.

Here's an interesting movie where the author talks about the book:

Same, but it also opened a download confirmation box for the file in my broswer.

Worked fine for me, the second page is empty, the rest is best quality.

Strangly enough the .pdf started opening after a period of waiting.. But I accidently clicked it away. O well, after another try I am finally able to check it out! Nice.
