PROTECT AND SURVIVE
By Leslie Floyd
Armageddon and Creame Software
Spectrum 128
This is a tidy, logical, straightforward, yet moderately challenging game (other
than the spelling mistakes). It has an intriguing premise which you get only at
the end – a nice subtle touch. It does not give false or obscure clues, nor does
it make you retrace long distances. Part 3 is not as well-written as the other
two, but that is forgivable.
Hints:
As well as making a fallout shelter, you need to prevent the windows of your
house from absorbing light, radiation, etc., you need to disable power coming
into your house, and you need to have two protective pieces of clothing.
If you wish you can read the newspaper more to find local colour.
Some objects you find in part 1 are needed in part 2 or part 3. Some objects you
find in part 2 are needed in part 3. Other than the torch, if you have not used
an object in that part of the game, take it with you to the next part.
How to cut off the power supply to your house? Cutting the wires doesn't work,
so you need to short-circuit the wires first. How to do that? Find some other
metal that will do that trick. Having gone to all that trouble, check out the
electrical appliances after the bomb goes off.
The ID card functions more like a credit card.
Can't apply for a job. Say "hello" in their language.
A cute little Scottie dog menaces you? Become violent with it. What you get will
help you with the other dog.
EXAMINE and SEARCH are not the same.
A few "tricky" verbs. When you have the magnetic coil and a stainless steel
object, you can MAGNETIZE <object> at an obvious location.
