THE DARE
Written by Dorothy Millard
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (C64 Version)
Scenario
You are Frederick Davies and you have been studying hard for a degree in law. The examinations are
now over and it is Friday night, so you and your friends decide to "let down your hair"
and go out for a "night on the town" to celebrate the end of the examinations. So you set
off for "The Swan" pub and after a heavy drinking session you are dared to try to get out
of a large department store in town after it has closed. Somehow you are talked into it and your
so-called "fiends" have taken all of your clothes and left you locked in a toilet with
nothing but your underwear. You were pushed into the toilet just before closing time, but as you
were pushed in your hit your head and have been unconscious for some time. You wake up, everything
is blurry, you aren't sure how long you have been there and everything is very quiet outside.
Can you get out of the store without setting off any alarms or alerting the police or the security
guard to your presence? It would be most unfortunate if you were to be caught, as it would most
certainly end your career in law before it had even begun.
Notes
1. When the blood soaks through the temporary paper bandage, make sure you are still carrying the
roll of toilet paper and BANDAGE HEAD again, GET PAPER (this can be done until you run out of
paper).
2. When you start to get a headache go immediately to the staff canteen (make sure you are carrying
the empty glass and pills), ON TAP, FILL GLASS, EAT PILLS (you are feeling better already!)
3. When the guard appears in the foyer HIDE behind the rubbish bin.
