A Visit To Trev And Carol's
Infinite Software

Game Bugs:
- The "utter darkness" location remains dark even if you have the lit torch.
- Going south from the cellar takes you to the reception room: an evident mistake, not mentioned in
the room description
Cheat Modes:
The game does not set flags to prevent repetition, so you can keep pushing your score up and up by
repeating an action.
The scoring actions are:
- Ring the doorbell.
- Look through the window in the reception room (to see some advertising).
- Pick up the piece of wire in the cellar.
- Open the DATA BIN in the back yard to find an old magazine issue.
- Go through the passage while the tape is there. (Picking it up is not necessary.)

You are visiting a house to buy a copy of a game called Pitfall (not the famous one).
Here is a minimal solution, ignoring the optional rooms and objects:
i [you have your coat and five pounds], n, n, n, n, e, get torch [don't switch it on yet, or
you won't be able to enter the loo later due to a bug], w, s, u [every time you enter this
stairway there is 1/3 chance of losing the game by slipping on the roller skate], u [never go south
from here, as angry Carol will throw you out of the bedroom window], e, on torch, get Pitfall, drop
money, w, d [the risky stairway again], d, s
Winning the game gives a score of 100%. There are some optional actions that count for score, but
this "real" score is only displayed if you lose the game.
The winning sequence is only triggered in that particular location, and only if you are wearing your
coat (perhaps because it's time to go home) and not carrying the money (since dropping it
represents payment for the game).
