Himalayan Odyssey
“There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Kathmandu . . .” So runs the old poem.

It is your task to find the Green Eye and return it to the last remaining survivor of the original owner's family — a Tibetan Lama. But beware — in the vast and mysterious Himalayas many dangers await. And there are rumours of Yeti, the Abominable Snowman . . .
