FAHRENHEIT 451
Written by Len Neufeld and Byron Preiss 1984 (Telarium Corporation)
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (C64 version)
Scenario
Based on the novel of the same name by Ray Bradbury. The ruthless society of the firemen has burned
all the books in the world and you, as Guy Montag, must infiltrate their ranks to try to restore
sanity to your world. You're also hoping to find your beloved Clarisse as you wander through
the dangers of downtown New York. Because there are no books, many of the people you meet have
memorised entire texts, passed down to them from earlier generations in an effort to keep the
world's literature alive.
Notes
1. Use the lighter with everyone you meet for clues most of the time.
2. Until you are chemindexed and have a new face which matches your ID only cross from west to east
at the overpass. Once your face and ID match, the hound that patrols Fifth Avenue will examine you
then leave.
3. Don't bother with the alley and basement tunnel lab. - they lead eventually to the subway
but it is VERY easy to get lost in the tunnels.
4. During the game a patrol will ask for your ID, when it does just SHOW ID (note your face and ID
must match though.
5. There are two alternative endings, so make sure you save the game when you first enter the
library. You can then restore your position and try again if necessary.
