SAM'S UN-EXCELLENT ADVENTURE
(Zenobi Software)

Spectrum 48K/128K+2


The Story So Far ...

Sometimes the day never quite pans out as you
intended and today was going to be one of those
days for Sam. He was a nice enough little robot
- as robots go - and he was always full of the
best intentions and very eager to please. So when
he was told to buy a plug for Alan Miles' toaster
he was only too keen to get on with the task and
obtain the object of his desire. However, even such
a simple task can take on astronomic proportions
when you live in a place like SWANSEA --- It has
been known to close down for the simplest of things
and "early closing day" meant just that. So SAM,
being the enterprising little robot that he was,
decided to take the easy way out and "borrow" a
plug from elsewhere - from Colin Jordan's office
in actual fact! A wise enough decision if only
Colin had not decided to return to the office to
do a spot of programming!

"Oh no," thought SAM, leaping thirteen feet into
the air as he realised his calamitous cock-up -
(having springs for legs proves most interesting
in times of woe) - "If I don't get it back before
he arrives he'll kill me for sure! What am I to do
and just how can I do it???"

To prevent Colin Jordan from subjecting SAM's circuits to an extensive re-wire - albeit
rather indelicately - you must assist/help to find the way to replace the plug he borrowed.
That is if you can recover the bl**dy plug from where SAM left it in the first place.


NOTES

This game takes place in SAMCO's offices, where you may encounter such luminaries as
ALAN MILES, COLIN JORDAN and the likes ... Some of the guys responsible for the creation of
the infamous and ill-fated SAM COMPUTER and such classic games as "THE FAMOUS FIVE".

It will be your task to take on the role of SAM and to carry out all the functions that will
be necessary in order to complete the task he has been burdened with ... good luck!!!!


HINTS

Legs have more functions than just walking - especially when you are robotic and make sure
"map" at the foot of the page, roughly half-way along the bottom edge.


HOSPITAL

On the other side of the tape (if you're lucky enough to be a SPECTRUM owner) you will
fled a completely FREE game written and conceived by the same author - though this is no
great recommendation. It is set in a hospital and will require you to perform an "action"
to complete it that may well have the "cat lovers" of this world up in arms! However, one
thing is certain, no other game will ever have expected you to do such a thing before - not
even one written by a Balrog!!!

This "freebie" is only a "one location" game but it may well tax more than the cat's good
temper and is sure to raise more than one snigger of disgust ... So load it up and give it
a try. You never know, you might even find that you enjoyed it ... depends on your mind!!!
