PUB QUEST
Written by C.P. Shrigley (Dream Software)
Walk Through with Dorothy Millard (C64 version)
Scenario:
Deep in the bowels of the local sewer system lies the ultimate challenge.
It is your job to find the means to pay off your debt at your local pub.
Notes:
- Throwing the canister doesn't work unless a variable is changed. If you
don't have the revised version issued by Dorothy Millard then change line
3090 IFO(21)=85 instead of 0. Note it is necessary to enable RUN/STOP
RESTORE (POKE 808, 237) and LIST (POKE 774, 26 and POKE 775, 167) first.
- The majority of objects in the game are red herrings so just leave
them.
- Do NOT light the lamp in the sewers.
- When you throw the slab, rope or canister if you take inventory you
will find you are still carrying them. Also even though the hook is tied
to the rope you are still carrying the hook.
Walk Through:
(Start on the pavement running east/west along a busy main road), EXAMINE
ME, EXAMINE YOU (you find a dull brass key in your pocket), E (next to a
parked car), S (into the car), EXAMINE CAR (there is a glove
compartment), OPEN COMPARTMENT (a torch falls out), GET TORCH, GET
MATTRESS, N, W, W (in front of a Pelican Crossing - don't push the button
yet as it contains poison), W (car park), DROP MATTRESS, CLIMB TREE (it's
dark), ON TORCH (don't type LIGHT TORCH as it will melt), LOOK (leave the
apple and don't eat it), GET KEY (shiny brass), JUMP DOWN (you land
safely on the mattress), OFF TORCH, E, E, N (inside the Chequered Flag
Inn), UNLOCK DOOR (with the shiny brass key), W (into the gent's
toilets), UNLOCK CUPBOARD (with the dull brass key), LOOK, W (inside
cupboard where it's dark), ON TORCH, GET GLOVE (leather), OFF TORCH, E,

in), THROW SLAB (it rips into the side of the shed leaving a gaping

melt the torch and cannot finish the game), N, N, N (in front of derelict
house), UNLOCK DOOR (with the dull brass key), DROP KEY (dull), DROP KEY
(shiny).
W (it's dark), ON TORCH, LOOK (you are in a grotty hallway), W (huge

you pass"), SAY SOMETHING (he smiles and asks for a drink), DROP BOTTLE
(he is very happy and lets you pass), LOOK (you are in a big kitchen),
GET BOOK, READ BOOK (it falls open and you see the word "TOILET" is a
relieving word), DROP BOOK, E, E (grotty hallway), S (bottom of stairs -

(another pokey bedroom - leave the shovel), S, E, N, E (outside house),
OFF TORCH, N (front garden - leave the knife), S.
E, E, E, S, S (bomb crater), ON TORCH, E (into the sewers - don't drop
any objects in the sewers as you will lose them), N, N (if you go east
here you will find some rats which can be dealt with using the canister,
and beyond them is a credit card, but as the barman won't accept the card
anyway, leave them be), N, N, W (leave the crisp new fifty pound note as
it is a forgery anyway), E, S, E, E, N (leave the oil can - this can be
used to fill the lamp but there is no point), OFF TORCH (to let it cool
down and prevent it melting), ON TORCH, N, N, E, E, W, N, GET SUIT (sewer
protect-o-suit), E, S, S, S, E, E, E, S, GET CANISTER (smoke), W (into
cavernous chamber - rats are here), THROW CANISTER (into the mass of

directions), WEAR SUIT, S, W, S.

cool it down), ON TORCH, W, N, E, N, E, N, E, S, N, GET ROPE, W, W, W, W,

there is a spider there who will bite you), TIE ROPE (to hook), THROW
