THE PRISONER
Adventure Software
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (Spectrum Version)
Note:
Dorothy had originally written this solution as belonging to The Prisoner by
Francis Shailes and released by Spoof Software. It doesn't work for that
game. However, it does work for the game by Adventure Software.[Jacob

Scenario
You are a top secret agent and want to resign but they won't let you.
Suddenly there comes a day when you wake up in a pleasantly old-fashioned
village packed with survelliance hardware, guarded by something more than
human. You are a mere member in a vast system they say. There is no escape.
You are The Prisoner.
Notes
1. There are two version of this game. This is the early version written by
Francia A. Shailes in 1986.
2. Based on The Prisoner TV series.
3. There are a lot of red herrings.
4. Some actions seem to have no real relevance to the game, ie. flying the
helicopter, but I have included it anyway.
