This is Nate Cull's competition non-entry, which slipped into the 
/if-archive/games/tads directory without much notice. I like it a lot.

However, the built-in hints are written in the style of the hints that 
will be on the GUA CD -- which is to say, frustrating as hell. :-) I'm 
currently stuck...

(SPOILERS)



...in the mine task. I've solved the princess, rainbow, and shark tasks,
and I can get a battery (modulo a game bug, but I think I've worked around
it. If you can't pick it up, "put x in envelope" will sneakily pick it up
anyway. Or maybe that's the bug... dunno.)

From the hints, I think I need to find a light source to continue, but I
have no idea where I might find such a thing. 

Anyone?
