INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: It is advised that you read the book before seriously attempting the game.

INTRODUCTION
਍ഀഀ
You have in your hand a new type of computer game based on the Speech and Graphical adventure which puts you straight into lhe action of lhe first book by best selling author Jeffrey Archer.
਍ഀഀ
If you are used lo playing normal adventures then you will find many similar features which will let you gel straight into the game but then there are those clever features lhat make this game excitingly different.
਍ഀഀ
Because it is so cIosely basad on the best selling book you will find that, unlike normal adventures, the program will guide you through the plot, presenting you with many puzzles to solve on the way. Obviously, like a book, you cannot "back track" through the plot if you miss something and so lateral thinking becomes important at every stage if you are going to win through.
਍ഀഀ
Most computer gamas are "directional" ie, you can go North at any time by just typing "GO NORTH". However, in this game, you must first solve the puzzle(s) in each location belore you are allowed to move on.
਍ഀഀ
The game is based on a "real-life" situation (sorry, no goblins in this story) so you must think carefully about what you would do if the events in the plot actually happened to you. Silly answers may be fun but will nol gel you very far!
਍ഀഀ
THE PLOT
਍ഀഀ
You play the part of Stephen Bradley, a visiting Fellow at Magdalen College in Oxford, who finds himself the victim of a swindle.
਍ഀഀ
Left penniless by a company collapse caused deliberately by its unscrupulous owner, you set out to get revenge in a very 'novel' way. You must gel together with other victims of this evil man and, without his knowing anything about it, you must steal the money back to the last penny! Each victim will have his own method to get the money back and it is your job to control the group as they help each other with the stings!
਍ഀഀ
THE VOCABULARY
਍ഀഀ
The game will understand and react to sentences typed into the computer in plain English eg.
਍ഀഀ
"TAKE THE MAGAZINE FROM THE TABLE"
਍ഀഀ
and will make your character (Stephen) do the particular action requested.
਍ഀഀ
Shorter forms of command will also sometimes work (only if the meaning is not in any way ambiguous.) eg.
਍ഀഀ
"TAKE MAGAZINE"
਍ഀഀ
You can also speak to other characters using the form:
਍ഀഀ
"SAY "HELLO""
਍ഀഀ
As clever as the program is it cannot understand every possible sentence that you could type in and so, sometimes, it will need yoo to rephrase your command so that it will understand.
