## Description
_Dark Continent_ is a single-player shareware recreational text adventure in
which the player travels to Africa in search of a fabulous jewel.
The game starts on day three of the expedition. The native bearers have run
off taking the supplies and all the money. Alone in a strange country with no
possessions the player’s task is to find King Solomon’s diamond and get back
home to England.
The game is entirely text based. With the exception of special commands such
as U, D, N, S, E, and W which are abbreviations for GO UP, GO DOWN, GO NORTH,
etc, all commands consist of two words such as GET THING or GO PLACE. The game
can be saved by typing SAVE GAME.
Running under DOS the game runs in a single window. It runs in Windows by
opening a DOS window in which there are two panels. The game plays in the left
hand panel while the right pane contains the copyright information.
