DANGER! ADVENTURER AT WORK 2
Simon Avery
WOW Software
Amstrad
This is one of Simon's relatively "clean" games. It is a cleverly written
game with puzzles that stretch the imagination.
Your electricity has been disconnected and your objective is to find the
electricity board HQ and pay your bill.
Verbs are provided as well as shortcuts (LOIN – look inside; LOBE – look
behind; LOUN – look under).
Hints:
There is one red herring – the object that is usually needed in
adventures.
Can't get rid of the rats? There is an object you can get that helps you
become the Pied Piper of Hamelin (who got rid of rats, and children?).
"Pied" here does not refer to a type of horse – it is a short form of
"piped" plus also a possible reference to the man's clothes. Read the
Brother's Grimm fairy tale. First though, you need to make that object.
You see a parrot. What to do here? No hints – HIT it.
Don't use your water at the plant – it is needed elsewhere. What else can
you do? What has been purported as helpful to plants?
You need to get to hell. Find the magic word. Can't talk to the devil.
Talk to his description. Can't get out? Repeat the magic word.
What to do at/with the snowman? You need to recall an English children's
song played at Christmas about a snowman. The snowman's name is Frosty.
Listen to the song to know what to give him. Apologies to non-native
English players here. While this is not an "in" joke of the type sometimes
found in games, you need to know his name. So "GOOGLE" Frosty to get the
lyrics of the song, and then proceed from there.
Talk to everyone (and everything) you see – well not actually everything.
You have no money to buy the box of washing powder? Think larceny.
How to get past the Splatter? Talk to him? You need to be wearing a bow
tie. Have you found anything that resembles that? Think of its shape.
At the car: you need to look at the car from the bottom. So, you need to
somehow crawl under it. Have you searched the garage to see what is there?
You won't find a baby doll. So you will have to create one. What do you
think you will need to make a baby doll? Consider how babies are made (two
opposite sex things are usually needed – yes I know that is obvious, but I
thought I would spell this out), so of course you need to find the correct
two objects). When you have them, WAIT a while, and then EXAMINE either
one of them and check your inventory). Don't worry about the little girl –
she will still be where you saw her last.
You need to get to heaven as well as hell. How to do that? PRAY.
