Field notes
The browser version accepts keyboard controls for travel, hunting, and rafting; its Top Ten and epitaph-bearing graves are stored on that computer. The route covers 690 versts, with a choice at the Naryn between steering through rapids for 70 versts or paying herders for the mountain road; hunting also spends eagle food. A downloadable BASIC file is provided for running on a DOS machine or through PC-BASIC.
