In this original game you have the chance to explore the innards of your computer, for it has started to go wrong! Fortunately your great aunt has just given you one of her strange inventions – a shrink beam. Once you have shrunk to the right size you must carefully find your way into the computer; then, using all your faculties, you must repair it.
Notes
Published in the "Virgin Computer Series" book Adventures for your BBC Micro by Alex Gollner.
I hope no-one who typed this in from the original book took it as a model of good programming. I can only assume that the author deliberately made the source code hard to understand, which it certainly is! Apart from the numerous glitches (such as not being able to examine items when you are holding them), it's a bit odd that "type run" when the computer is switched off gives any response at all!
