Description

                   THE SEARCH FOR KING SOLOMON'S MINES

  Deepest, darkest Africa by the Zambesi River, June 1903. Trader Jim's outpost...
  A dying adventurer staggers from the jungle raving about 7 foot natives,
 ice and snow, a searing volcano and... a cache of treasure fit for a king.
  And so the quest begins....
 In this graphic adventure, you must find your way through the perils of the 
 African jungle, past hostile natives, across raging rivers and into the
 mysterious snow-capped Tallawasi Mountains in search of the legend of...
 King Solomon's Mines.
