DUNSHALT DONUT
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (Spectrum Version)
Notes:
1. Thanks to John Schofield for assistance with debugging this game and
writing a solution.
2. The original game was bugged in that, after feeding the dog with the
open tin of dog meat, you still could not re-enter the house. Also the
total score available was only 92. A "fixed" version is available from
Adventure Probe Software or Dorothy Millard.
3. Red Herrings: Coat hanger, Potatoes, Golden Idol and Sword.
4. You can also steal the Mars bar or matches but there is a random
chance you will finish up in jail.
5. You can stay only 4 turns at the pool where the bees are.
6. Death occurs after 9 turns wearing the gasmask.
7. The matchbox, when bought, contains three matches.
