MCMURPHY'S MANSION Written by David Martin Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (PC Version) Scenario Your demented uncle McMurphy has left you a $10,000,000 inheritance. All you have to do it find it. Your uncle McMurphy was a most unusual man. His investments yielded him a great fortune and much time to devote to his passion for games of all types. It was his interest in these diversions that led to the conditions of his will. McMurphy felt that any heir worthy of inheriting his estate must PROVE that he is worthy. Beginning with only a small clue you must find your fortune hidden somewhere in the mansion grounds. Notes * At some point McBee with give you a gold bar for doing well. * The clues must be found in order. * Sometimes I found directions took me to odd places, such as the East Lawn and Attic, when they shouldn't. * When in the attic, if your candle goes out, simply re-light it.
