FIREMAN SAM
(Alternative Software)


THE HERO NEXT DOOR
You help Fireman Sam, everyone's favourite fireman, as he stars in
this highly entertaining game, featuring a host of delightful
characters from Pontypandy, a small town somewhere in the hills and
valleys of Wales.
Join the crew on Jupiter the fire engine, and drive around Pontypandy
answering distress calls.
You will have a limited time to complete each task and to return to
the fire station, or Fire Officer Steele will give you a warning.
Three warnings and it's game over for you and Fireman Sam, and you
will have to start again.

GOOD LUCK

THE TASKS INCLUDE
1. FIRE, FIRE!
   A blazing fire has broken out. Quickly speed to the scene and douse
   the flames, but hurry up! Time is running out!
2. HEAVE HO!
   Naughty Norman has been up to mischief as usual. This time his
   antics have caused him to get his head stuck in the railings. You
   must rescue him, enlisting the help of your friendly crew, by
   pulling apart the railings to free him.
3. GRIP AND CLIMB
   You must help Fireman Sam climb the north face of Price's Shop,
   using the ladders to retrieve the twin's kite, which is stuck on the
   roof causing all sorts of havoc as it blows around. Be careful to
   avoid all the obstacles and to keep your balance. Here's hoping you
   have a head for heights ... whoops!
4. LOST AND FOUND
   Drive Jupiter through Pontypandy to find various lost items; when
   Jupiter approaches them, they will be collected automatically and
   points will be awarded to you.
