Murder!

MURDER!

=======



On the floor lies a body. One of the guests in the house is a murderer, but which one?



You have to pick up vital clues, and eliminate suspects from your enquiries until you

find who dunnit.



It won't be easy, and there's one additional problem. The murderer is stalking you.



Unless you get to him (or her) before midnight, he'll get you.



Sounds like fun, doesn't it?

Playing Instructions



"Who did it?" It's what's on everyone's lips.



Fiona Perrywit says she has not been near the scene of the murder all night. The

butler. Fawning, claims he wag on the terrace with Lady Rambling at the time; and has

the Brigadier really spent all evening in the study with Dr. Drake?



Rambling Hall is the country home of the Third Lord Rambling, who is a senior member

of the Cabinet.



One evening there is a murder. You are Inspector Pincher of the Yard. It is your task

to interview everybody in the house and establish who the murderer is.



You will be called to the scene of the murder as soon as the body is discovered. You

will know the victim, the murder weapon, the place the murder occurred, whom the body

was found by, the time it was found and roughly how long ago they were killed.



You may interview anybody about the murder as long as they are in the same room as

yourself. You move from room to room by pressing "GO TO" and then entering the name of

the room you wish to visit.



To start the interview you press "ENTER” and then enter the name of the person you wish

to talk to. If you fail to do this you will just be talking to yourself (a universally

recognised sign of madness!).



Your interviewee will stay with you until you start talking to somebody else or leave

the room.



Note: The murderer has a definite tendency to deviate from the truth.



There are four types of questions you may ask. We have saved your poor fingers by

asigning them to keys 1 to 4 as follows:



Key 1. Where were you at ? (Time)

Key 2. Who were you with at ? (Time)

Key 3. When were you last in/on ? (Place)

Key 4. When did you last see ? (Person)



Use Key 9 to recall details of the murder and Key 0 when you are ready to accuse

someone. But make sure your suspicions are justified because an incorrect accusation

is not only extremely embarrassing but may well end up in a transfer or demotion (and

a drop in pay!).



Other useful keys:



Key 5 Shows the plan oh the Hall (all floors).

Key 6 Lists characters involved.

Key 7 Gives a list of all the murderous objects around the Hall.

Key 8 Recaps the format for questioning.



Best of Luck. You must find out who did it before somebody else is killed. That

somebody could be you!
