Notes:- In the TV room you can play the video an unlimited number of times, scoring a point each time. This appears to be an unintended exploit. This walkthrough scores 28, achieving the rank of "Boy From The Dwarf!". The highest rank is "Master Smeggie!!", requiring 30 points. Apart from employing the above exploit, it does not seem obvious how to obtain those extra two points. For example, shooting the Talkie Toaster with the bazookoid gains one point, but then you can't make toast with it, which is needed to complete the game. If you attempt to shoot it after the toast is made, then it results in an inappropriate error "Talking to inanimate objects is the first sign of sanity chip malfunction!". So this seems like a possible bug in the code preventing scoring that point while still allowing game completion. Giving the cocktail to Kochanski would score a point, but so does giving it to The Cat as in this walkthrough. Apart from the mod music player routine, the text adventure itself is entirely written in BBC BASIC V. benkid77 - 13 December 2023
