CERCLA: THE GAME
Written by Jeffrey Robinson
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (PC AGT Version)
Scenario
You are an employee of a world renowned and extremely profitable consulting engineering firm.
Recently, you completed the remedial investigation of the McArdle hazardous waste site. Following a
wonderful vacation in the Caribbean, you have returned to work to find that disaster has struck.
All the copies of the documents critical to the remediation of the site have vanished. Even the
computer files containing the documents have been wiped clean. What is worse is that your boss has
a meeting with (GASP) the U.S. EPA in a matter of days. You must recover the documents before that
meeting, or regulatory hell will break loose. Unfortunately for you, some, well, shall we say,
supernatural beings have made off with the documents for their own mystical, nefarious purposes. It
is your quest to outwit these creatures and recover the documents.
