RETURN OF THE HOLY JOYSTICK
Written by Ian Willis & Jason Somerville (Delta 4) 1984
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (Spectrum Version)
Scenario
The aim of the game appears (no instructions supplied) to be to play enough games to obtain the
joystick of the title.
Notes
1. The radio can be listened to many times if you wish.
2. If you hang around or go the wrong way in the first few locations you will be eaten by a tiger,
later on you are killed by a penguin.
3. You can wander around further in the games if you wish, but it serves no purpose. However you
must load the games in order to visit certain locations to increase your score which must be 75% in
order to complete the game.
