MILLION DOLLAR GREAT JEWEL HEIST
by Dorothy Millard
The Guild
Spectrum 48
This is a tidy little game, which does not have a time limit, despite the
warnings. Hints are available at the Tipshop. They are so good, you
shouldn't need this solution.
There is a minor glitch: make sure you do not have the screwdriver with
you when you examine the clock. Otherwise you will not know about the
panel.
You begin tied to a chair with no recollection how you got there.
