Your task is to cross the desert to the treasure ( marked with an X ) in your neighbouring country and then bring the booty home. To help you achieve this you have been given a car and some money. You also have some fuel, but remember to buy more during the journey or you might find yourself stranded. Of course, once you have crossed the border you must pay for fuel in the local currency. Luckily there are some banks around where you can change your money. Good Luck , Happy Hunting !


Hints
The panel at the left is your control panel, fill in the field boxes and press the buttons to make your moves. To the right of the control panel is the tool bar. Drag the tools onto the map to make them work. Zoom in and out of the overview map with the magnifying glass. You can find out the rates of the banks and the cost of fuel by leaving your cursor over the icons on the overview map. You can drag the map around to find out where you are or you can use the black box in the overview map by dragging it also. Information bubbles will give you read outs on all tools if you leave your cursor above them for a second or two.

Attention. The Applet will take several minutes to download. You may wish to disconnect and work offline once you see the overview map.
