Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (C64 Version)



Notes
At the start if you don't go immediately to the visitor's room Bullet-Proof George won't be there.
'Hang About' and 'Wait' are interchangeable - wait being much shorter
It is a good idea to save the game regularly. If you get robbed or arrested for carrying the pickaxe or wire cutters, just reload your saved position.
