Full Solution for Acorn Adventure
---------------------------------
Your mission: To wander around the Acorn Offices and escape with 4 Acorn 
items.

You start by the Reception Desk, there's nothing here, so go N and find 
yourself in the Managing Directors Office (strange place for it!). 
Sitting here is a Distribution Contract. GET DISTRIBUTION CONTRACT and 
leave by going W. We find ourselves in the Customer Support Department. 
GET BASIC2 SOURCE CODE and go back to the MD's office, by going E. Now 
leave by taking the N exit.

Now we are in the Secretary's Office, GET U.S. DEALER BUSINESS CARD. 
There is nothing else of importance here, so continue N to find yourself 
in the Word Processing Department. There is a Torch here, for those of 
you who remember back to the early 80's the Torch was a Z80 computer, 
running CP/M. EXAMINE TORCH to find out a password. (For amusement 
value, GET TORCH and LIGHT TORCH).

Leave the department by going W to the canteen. GET CUP OF COFFEE and 
then go back E, and then E again and we find outselves in the Public 
Relations Department. We don't want to do anything here just at the 
moment, so leave by going N.

Now we find ourselves in the Export Department with Herman Hauser (one 
of the creators of the BBC Micro) Bearing in mind he probably wants to 
know about exporting the BBC to the US we can GIVE U.S. DEALER BUSINESS 
CARD, and off goes Herman to look for his business partner. For the 
moment we don't want to explore the rest of the area, so go back S, GET 
'ACORN USER' PRESS CARD', and then S again.

Here we see Chris Curry (the other creator of the BBC). Take the E exit 
(Chris won't stop us as we're certified members of the press!) We find 
ourselves in the Prototype Laboratory. GET TELETEXT ADAPTOR and DROP 
'ACORN USER' PRESS CARD (as we don't need it anymore!) then go back W 
and then S to the Quality Control Department. EXAMINE EPROM ERASER and 
GET BLANK EPROM. Return to the Export Department (N, N, N)

Continue onto the N to the Mail Order Department, leave the Spade for 
now and go W. GET POWER PILL, EAT POWER PILL. The Pill was a bit hard to 
swallow, so wash it down with DRINK CUP OF COFFEE. Now continue W. Here 
we are in the Showroom with Snapper (Acorn's version of Pac Man) here. 
As we have already eaten the Power Pill Snapper won't stop us 
continuing. So go S.

We find ourselves in the Marketing Office, here is Sheridan Williams (I 
presume Acorn's Marketing Manager at the time!) He probably wants a 
contract of sorts (Marketing people are so easily pleased!) OFFER 
DISTRIBUTION CONTRACT and he'll go away.

Go W and we find ourselves in the Software Support Department, there is 
a PROM BLOWER here, and look, we have all the components of a BASIC2 
ROM. So BLOW BASIC2 ROM, GET BASIC2 ROM and finally, DROP BASIC2 SOURCE 
CODE (not needed anymore!).

Leave and return to the Mail Order Department (E, N, E, E) GET SPADE and 
return to the Secretary's Office (S, S, W, S) Continue on to the W and 
we find ourselves in a Room with Scaffolding. Hold on; does this remind 
you of the dame 'Dig Dug'? Hmmm. DIG SPADE and the Monster falls into 
the Hole! DROP SPADE and head W. In the Warehouse is an Electron ready 
to ship. GET ELECTRON.

Now Return to the Export Department (E, E, N, E, N) and head E to the 
Despatch Bay. GET ECONET INTERFACE. Now we have all four items and need 
to escape! How about the Rear Exit? Go there (W, N, W) The exit to the 
North is blocked off by a voice activated lock. But we got a password 
from the Torch, so SAY 6502 and Huzzah! we have won!
