Synopsis

Plot

THE GAME OF POWER. PROFIT. DOUBLE-DEALING AND DECEIT.

ARE YOU RUTHLESS ENOUGH TO SURVIVE?

You're on the fast track. At last, a partnership in the firm. With perks...new car, new office, new secretary. This is the life.

Wake up. This is the real world. The underworld. The city of London, where high-finance and low double deals are commonplace. Where drugs, gambling and big money talk. And you? You find yourself the victim of a frame-up...the chief suspect in an insider tarding scandal. And to survive, you have to be as devious, if not more so, than the rest.

Notes

Although recorded elsewhere that this game was initially announced as Upon Westminster Bridge, an interview with Hugh Steers in Classic Adventurer issue 8 states that was not a working title for this game, but the title of an unconnected adventure.

In 2020 an officially authorised version of the game was released for the Spectrum Next; see here.
