Walk Through with Dorothy Millard (C64 Version)
Notes
1. Save your position often as there are a number of random elements.
2. When you meet with the Gunfighter, KILL GUNFIGHTER, EXAMINE GUNFIGHTER (dead), GET PAPER, READ
PAPER (...the dynamite is in the mountains), DROP PAPER. Note the appearance of the Gunfighter is
random and you have only a 50% chance of defeating him, so if you fail you have no choice but to
restore your saved position.
3. If you buy whisky from the bar and drink it you will be arrested for being drunk. If you plan to
do this make sure you have enough money to pay the fine to get out of the cell.
