OPERATION STALLION
by A. J. Wright (Wrightchoice Software)
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (Spectrum Version)
Scenario
Your name is John Blake, who is occasionally referred to as The Fixer. You work for the government
in an administrative capacity employed in records. This, however, is only a cover and, apart from
two people, no other government employee or department is aware of your true role. The two other
people are the Prime Minister and your boss Charles Jenson, CJ for short. Two years ago it became
necessary for the PM to sanction a government body of a strictly top secret nature to perform tasks
that could not otherwise be performed within the strict confines of the law, in order to ensure the
continued democratic nature of this country. You have been recruited to act as the
department's killer arm. To ensure your continued loyalty a small device has been implanted
within your brain which both the PM and CJ have the power to activate to kill you. Today is the
start of a mission requiring your special talents. You are unaware of what it entails.
Notes
1. WORDS turns off the graphics.
2. There is a tight time limit in Part 2 so don't spend time wandering around too much and in
particular don't read The times as it loses you one hour.
