I cannot find my way around, and I checked the manual and it says "Use the map on the inside cover of your game album You'll need it "

So I downloaded the cluebooks, and reference cards. None have the map. In fact the Cluebook has maps for EVERYWHERE except the town itself. WTF?!

Unless it's hidden in the "artwork" section I am at a loss. Why would GOG overlook this? I mean normally I would just map the area out myself like with Might&Magic except when the game outright says "You'd better use that map that came bundled with the game" I know things are serious.

IIRC the map was in the manual.
In any case it's not hard to find a cope online.

According to my recollection, the map was originally on the back of the "box" (actually more like a cardboard sleeve) for my C64 version, but I'm not known for having the best memory :).

Anyway, I've attached the map.

Thanks for your post. Same problem here, and it's frustrating for no good reason. I started the game recently and I can't depend on the manuals?!

I finally checked online and got a list of keyboard/mouse controls, but they're for the Steam version, which is different from GOG's.

ACK! I guess it's just "bad luck to be me."
