Scarthorpe is the sort of town where even the dogs carry flick
knives! Where there’s a only one road in, and that’s a one-way
street!
The sort of town where rebuilding means a new coat of paint, and
where people queue up to queue up for a job!
Not many people come to Scarthorpe, and even fewer leave.
The church bells chime three in the morning…the streets are
deserted…now is your chance to Escape from Scarthorpe!
To help you on your quest, this program shows a graphics
representation of every location you enter.
GOOD LUCK!
CONTROLS
To explore Scarthorpe, you will need to move from location to
location by entering North, South, East or West. You need only
use the first letter, ie, N for North. Follow all instructions
by pressing Enter.
To give commands, use simplified English. The program has a large
vocabulary including UP, DOWN, ENTER, LEAVE, IN, OUT, CROSS,
EXAMINE, LOOK, EAT, DRINK and many others. It is also possible
to string commands together, for example “TAKE DUNGAREES AND GO
NORTH” or “KILL FAN AND TAKE TRAP”. Remember to press Enter after
each instruction.
There are also a number of special functions designed to help
you. For example “TAKE” or “T” will allow you to pick up a useful
object and carry it with you. Enter “DROP” and you will leave
the object behind. If you are unsure of which items you are
carrying, enter “I” for an inventory. To see how well you are
doing, enter “SCORE” to be given points out of 22. If your game
is going badly, you can abandon it by entering “QUIT”.
