PUB QUEST Written by C.P. Shrigley (Dream Software) Walk Through with Dorothy Millard (C64 version) Scenario: Deep in the bowels of the local sewer system lies the ultimate challenge. It is your job to find the means to pay off your debt at your local pub. Notes: - Throwing the canister doesn't work unless a variable is changed. If you don't have the revised version issued by Dorothy Millard then change line 3090 IFO(21)=85 instead of 0. Note it is necessary to enable RUN/STOP RESTORE (POKE 808, 237) and LIST (POKE 774, 26 and POKE 775, 167) first. - The majority of objects in the game are red herrings so just leave them. - Do NOT light the lamp in the sewers. - When you throw the slab, rope or canister if you take inventory you will find you are still carrying them. Also even though the hook is tied to the rope you are still carrying the hook.
