Windows PC game
You are Jim Novak, a private investigator. You fell for a beautiful girl with a taste for money. She
ran out when the cash ran out. She stole what little loot you had left, your car, and your dignity.
She recently tried to sell your jalopy to an old friend who gave you the address where he was
supposed to meet her and you are there, outside a rundown apartment in a bad neighbourhood.
To play this game, you need to install a few other programs and files (see the instructions enclosed
with the game).
This is a variation on the point’n’click method. When you choose an option, sometimes you are
given more options.
Hints:
There is no way you can check your inventory, so remember what you have.
There is a chair in the apartment but you don’t know is there. Move it.
If something logical doesn’t work when you choose an option, try “EXAMINE…” again and keep
trying, maybe with a different command.
Solution:
NB – This solution is written as if you were typing in the commands. In reality, just click on the
choice.
You begin outside an apartment building. Go E, E, N, E, S, SEARCH GROUND,EXAMINE CORD, TAKE CORD, N,
EXAMINE TREE, TIE CORD TO BRANCH OF TREE (you see a broken stick), PICK UP BROKEN STICK, W, W (you

the door), EXAMINE SINK, TIE CORD TO PIPES, ENTER TUB AND CALL TO VIVIAN (She enters. You grab her
gun, lock her in the bathroom, gather evidence, and call the police. The loot is returned and you
get your belongings back).
You are finished.
