Shay Addams must have been some kind of game solving/mapping savant. The Quest for Clues series of books republished materials originally released by Addams in his QuestBusters newsletter (here's the complete set: https://mocagh.org/loadpage.php?getco... ). Quest for Clues II is still mostly concerned with 8-bit systems, which makes it of interest to me (later volumes kept up with the evolving platforms of the day).
There were a few funny (to me) excerpts that didn't age very well. Two games were covered that featured female protagonists (which was novel in the day). On "King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella" (Sierra On-Line, 1988), Addams writes "But men will have just as much fun as women adventurers, for the puzzles are just as inventive and the situations just as amusing as ever". And of "Plundered Hearts" (Infocom, 1987), "Though your character must be a woman, you don't have to think like a woman in order to solve the problems." Hehehe.
Erratum no one will care about: "Dondra: A New Beginning" (Spectrum Holobyte, 1987) is listed as available for C64/128. Commodore users had to wait three more years until it was re-released as "The Prism Of Heheutotol".
