Special advice
--------------
This game is the first point & click adventure that we 
make. We developed a system to do adventure games.
It's very similar to an engine and it can do adventures
more complex with few kilobytes. If you like it we want
to do is more adventures. We can add more graphics, OST,
animations, MSX2,...
We love MSXDEV and we want to participate with 
this entry. We like the limitations of this contest to 
show what we can do. It's a challenge ;)
Please feel free to send us feedback.
