     Hi.  Since this is early in the game and you may not be used to
interacting on a social level with computers I will offer you a bit of help
here.  Syntax (the order of words) is very important, as well as spelling.
If the programmer has misspelled words you must misspell them the same way.
(He may have had a very good reason why he misspelled them.)  To get back to
your interaction with the bus driver, you may want to give the coins to the
driver.  If you say "Give the driver the coins", the program will think that
you are trying to give the driver to the coins.  The program understands
sentences set up with a verb, a noun, a preposition and the object of the
preposition.

and take an empty seat.  The bus pulls away from the bus stop and heads out
of town.  Once out of Merida the bus bumps along the narrow winding road
passing through an occasional town or village where it stops and lets off a
few passengers and takes on a few more.  You observe flat farmlands in open
countryside.  Off in the distance the rich green rainforest beckons to you,
its mysteries yet unsolved.  After about an hour or so the bus approaches
the town of Muna.  Your excitement increases.  It pulls up to the town
square and stops.  Out the window you see a few people standing near the
door of the bus.

branches and is about 10 miles long.  It is quite easy to follow on the Muna
end, but it becomes nearly nonexistent on the end near the pyramid.  It
doesn't seem like it would be a good idea to stray from the trail.  The tall
trees make it difficult to determine the position of the sun to get your

  The river takes a winding course down the middle of the east-west running
valley.  At this point it cuts across the northwest corner of the meadow
that you are in.  It is running quite swiftly here and looks like it would
be very difficult to cross.  You put your hand in it and quickly pull it
out: the water is icy cold.

Noun_Descr 253
  The golden disk is 30 feet in diameter.  It is very thin, yet does not

may be.  They look thin and fragile, yet surprisingly you can walk on them
without even flexing the surface.
END_Noun_Descr

  Chicelero
  Old
  The old chicelero, Jose, is here.
  Location  15   - Muna town square
  Man
  Groupmember
  Creature_Synonyms Jose
END_Creature

Creature_Descr 305
Your eyes meet the penetrating eyes of an old but active man who looks like
he's of Mayan ancestry and has spent a lot of time in the forest.  You
approach him and introduce yourself.  He is, indeed, Jose, the Chicelero
that you had arranged to meet.  Jose has spent most of his life in the rain
forest.  Chiceleros know the rain forest better than anyone else as they
spend their lives in search of the chicle trees.  They tap the bark of the
trees and collect the sap that runs out which they then sell for the
manufacture of chewing gum.  The advent of the use of synthetic materials
in gum has depressed the chicle industry and the chiceleros have had to find
other ways to make a living.  Being in the forest all the time, chiceleros
are the most likely people to run across evidences of previous
civilizations.  Many have supplemented their incomes by selling artifacts
recovered from ruins they have found.  Jose claims knowledge of such a ruin
in the forest, a large pyramid, that no one has yet officially excavated.
He says that although there are signs of digging around the pyramid, it
doesn't appear that anyone has succeeded in finding an entrance.  After a
short conversation he indicates he is anxious to get going and that the
trail to the pyramid leaves the town to the east.

Introduction

                      NOTICE FOR VERSION 1.36

     Version 1.36 of "The Pyramid of Muna" was submitted to Softworks
for consideration in its third annual contest for computer text adventures.
It was not originally intended for public distribution, although it is a
complete and playable adventure.  A finished version of the adventure is
expected to be complete by the end of June, 1990.  It will be available for
distribution to the public at this time.

     As version 1.36 was intended for the AGT contest judges, it does not
have a set of instructions specific to it.  Anyone familiar with AGT should
have no problem with it, though: the general AGT instructions are adequate
for this adventure.  More specific instructions will be included in the long
version.






     "The Pyramid Of Muna" was intended to be an entry level game: easily
playable by anyone, even if they have never played another interactive
adventure.  For that reason, it has many helpful "Help" messages and clues.
Even inexperienced adventurers should have little difficulty completing this
game if the HELP command is used.  The difficulty of play may be increased
by refraining from using the HELP commands.  

     Version 2 of "The Pyramid of Muna" has more rooms, characters, nouns
and puzzles.  It is intended to be used in conjunction with printed maps and
a clue or hint book.  It will not have as many on screen helps as version
1.36.  It is a fuller and more interesting adventure.  Please note that the
data files for version 2 of Muna are so large that if 5.25" disks are used
two drives will be necessary.  The data files and run file will not fit on
one 5.25" disk.

  After years of research you have pieced together an incredible story.
You have been studying the Mayan Pyramids in the state of Yucatan in Mexico
and have come across information that leads you to believe that there are
other much older ruins in the area that may predate the Mayan civilization.
Information you have gathered indicates that these older pyramids were
centers of knowledge and great power.  You have in your possession an
artifact that was found in one of the Mayan pyramids that is unlike anything
else from the Mayan period.  It is a stone six pointed star with precious
gems embedded in it.  Writings in the pyramid seem to indicate that this
star may be a key to unlocking the secrets of the older ruins.
     You have also recently made arrangements to meet a Chicelero from the
area whom you have heard tells of a pyramid near the town of Muna that has
not yet been excavated by archaeologists.  He says that there has been
digging by treasure hunters, but that it doesn't look like anyone has
succeeded in entering the pyramid.
     Today is the day that you are supposed to meet the Chicelero in Muna.
He has promised to take you to the ruin, for a price.  Are you ready?
