DEADLY MISSION (debugged version)
by John O’Leary
John Henry Enterprises
Spectrum 48
Your mission is to find the location of the rebel T’Rilla pirate base and
bring back the coordinates. The Base lies within the Korgan Empire
boundaries. Enter code to destroy the message.
This is quite a good, tightly and tidily written game. There are many
“choice-point” locations where you need to decide where to go and what to do.
Sometimes you need to act very quickly as time is limited. There are many
places where you can get killed.
The only illogical thing is that when you are thrown in jail, you still have
your possessions with you.
Hints:
The “codeword” to start is HELP.
In your ship, examine your sleeping quarters and the engine room. Take
everything you find. Move quickly as you have limited time.
How to survive your ship’s crashing? Have you seen somewhere you can land?
Then move out of the way.
Only two red herrings. One is obvious. The other? Extra hint: it can smell
like a rotten red herring.
Don’t loiter in the cave.
WAIT is a good action to perform sometimes.
DRAWERS are abbreviated to DRAW.
You need to LOOK, at three different times: before you leave the office,
before you leave the dead guards, when the alarm goes off.
Make sure you have picked something up in the cornfield area.
What to do when you are surrounded? What is the universal gesture when people
point a gun at you? Extra hint: what do you do with your hands?
Where are the coordinates? Surely you have something that HQ would want?
