COUNTDOWN
by Ken Fletcher
Spectrum 48
This game appears to have been written by Kevin Fletcher, possibly for Carol
Bradbury, hence the reason it is listed as an alternate version in the World
of Spectrum text adventures games site when you check out her Countdown
game. It is quite different from her game.
It is also listed as a separate game in WoS.
There is no introduction, so you don’t really know what you are to do, nor
why. The game suffers from far too many locations. To its credit, hints are
available at several locations.
Hints:
There are a few red herrings – the rope, the hammer.
You cannot turn the torch off, so stop worrying..
You cannot EXAMINE objects, so stop trying.
CRAWL at the alarm beams.
Check out the television.
The door is too narrow for you to pass through? DROP some items, pass
through, DROP a few more, and go back and retrieve what you need.
HELP is available at the start location, the dark room, switch room, gym(n),
lever room, strongroom, at the dog, at the compuer terminal, and at the
launch complex.
