BEHIND CLOSED DOORS 4 by the Balrog (John Wilson, George E. Hoyle) Zenobi Software Spectrum 48 As the instructions state, this is a game with many red herrings, though some cleverness is needed where it really counts. You basically need a coin to get into the toilets, something to substitute for toilet paper, and a ring (for which you get a hint much later in the game). Doing anything else wastes time, though logically speaking you should find the other ring). Hint: While you "take" the Gazzette, you don't actually "have" it, so you can't use it for toilet paper. As usual, you need to find a bathroom.
