INSPECTOR FLUKEIT
Hints (Spectrum) by Alf Baldwin.
BLUNDERS: Your side-kick, very accident prone and useful if you want
anything broken, e.g. vase in dining room and trunk in Guest Bedroom.
POLICEMAN: Found in Scunsdale Road, patrols north and south. He will give
you his whistle if you ask him for it.
PORKINS: The butler in Radley mansion. Not a nice character, reads dirty
magazines. Carries the ransom note which was addressed to him.
THE MAID: In Radley Mansion. Carries a feather duster, useful for
tickling people.
THE GHOST: Wanders around the Mansion, does not seem to be of any use so
far.
THE COOK: In the kitchen, does not seem to be much help, and gets mad if
you leave the fridge open (end of game).
THE GARDENER: Carries the shears. Refuses to give them to you, but will
drop them if tickled.
LOCATIONS:
YOUR STUDY: EXAM DESK, OPEN DRAWER, GET MAP, EXAM MAP (Blunders arrives
and tells you, you have been asked to investigate the kidnapping of
Professor Mundle), OPEN DOOR AND GO E. Later: When you return from Radley
Mansion, you see a letter (does not appear until many moves later). The
letter says "I have knowledge which you might find useful. Meet me in the
Cregley Arms in Cregley". It is unsigned.
SCUNSDALE ROAD: Ask policeman to give you his whistle.
BLUNDERS CAR: ENTER CAR, GIVE MAP TO BLUNDERS, BLUNDERS DRIVE TO RADLEY
MANSION, WAIT (Until you reach destination) then LEAVE CAR.
DRIVE OF RADLEY MANSION: To enter the mansion you can either RING BELL at
front door, or go SE, SW, to back door and OPEN DOOR.
THE GARDEN: Random exits, but you must go there to find the torch.
THE KITCHEN: OPEN FRIDGE, (Meat falls out, the meat is bad), CLOSE
FRIDGE.
THE DUMB WAITER: ENTER DUMB, it contains cold turkey which is delicious.
PUSH BUTTON once to move waiter to Dining Room and return. PUSH BUTTON
twice to reach dusty space in attic. LEAVE DUMB and go W, to find the
magnifying glass. You need torch here, SHINE TORCH to see, DROP TORCH to
switch it off.
THE CELLAR: Torch needed to see. READ GRAFFITI ("If coded words make you
irate, you'll find it pays to alternate").
THE DINING ROOM: EXAM TABLE to see the vase. Get Blunders to drop vase,
it smashes and you see a small key.
THE SITTING ROOM: Ring bell to summon Porkins. Ask him for ransom note,
read and examine it.
THE STUDY: EXAM BOOKCASE to see small diary. READ DIARY ("Met vicar at
the usual place" also : "He is near the key to the lab").
THE LANDING: EXAM ARMOUR and you see a lever. PUSH LEVER and you hear a
creaking noise. (I have not found out what this has done yet), GUEST
BEDROOM: Get Blunders to break trunk which is locked. OPEN TRUNK and you
see a wand and the money. Do not touch the money, Porkins yells "thief"
and you are arrested (end of game).
PROF MUNDLE'S BEDROOM: Get and wear tie (presumably the reason for this
will be revealed later). EXAM TAPESTRY, you see a picture of a church.
The magnifying glass has enabled you to make out the tiny letters in the
comer of the ransom note and the tapestry. Slotting them into each other
(as per the graffiti) you get the message "STRIKE THE SKULL TO OPEN THE
SLAB".
This is about all I can tell you about the game so far. I have returned
to Scunsdale and read the letter, and got Blunders to drive me to
Cregley. However, there is a vicious dog at the entrance to the Cregley
Arms which prevents me from entering. I am still looking for a way to get
past it, it does not like turkey, and kills me if I offer it the bad
meat.
One final tip - You can only carry three objects, and Blunders only two,
so it might be a good idea to leave everything you might need in the car.
