Balboa Game Company: The Monkey God's Curse

From the introduction: "First of all, this adventure is designed to accommodate one character of levels four through seven. Any character class may be used and any race or religion is welcome. Second, you may bring only ONE magical item along; it may be any item so long as you bring only one. And last, and certainly not least, you need a method to cure yourself if you become injured."

Solo adventure in the format of a Tunnels and Trolls solo. Closely resembles a D&D style adventure.

There are two distinguishable printings of this title. The most noticeable difference is the logo on the front cover. There are also many different interior illustrations between the two copies with the later one looking like an upgrade in the quality of imagery. Without a copyright date we assume the different logo which is unseen on other Balboa products points to a newer print. We have no definitive information and shall leave the printings undefined. The illustrations on pages 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 16, 20, and 23 are different to some extent. The written portions all appear to be the same. The second printing cover art has also been substantially altered by the original artist.

The dark corner in the one image below is actually sun burn. Does not represent the overall look of original copy. The statistics belong specifically to the second version of the two with the different logo as is reflected from the Research Forums here at the Tome.
