THE SPECTRUM GAME DATABASE SHORT'S FUSE PUBLISHER Firebird AUTHOR Dollarsoft YEAR 1986 DESCRIPTION Platform Game CONTROLS: Climb up rope = Q Climb down rope = A Left = O Right = P Jump = M Plus range of joysticks can be used. INSTRUCTIONS THE GAME When Boris set off the first detonator, an irreversible chain reaction was initiated, with each fuse lasting only nine seconds. If you can guide Sam Short to the detonator - before the bomb explodes - he will disable it. Unfortunately you'll still be in a bit of a bind because Boris has ensured that another detonator in that same location will become live, leaving Sam with - you've guessed - nine seconds to defuse it. When Sam has defused all the detonators, he will - being a good-hearted chap move on to another beleagured spot. The rest is up to you. Before the start of each game, Sam must enter a security clearance code to arrive at a particular location. The security code for the TAJ MAHAL is 000.
