A DAY IN THE LIFE - MICROMEGA This game is respectfully dedicated to the man who put us all into business in the first place. Any resemblance to living persons is entirely deliberate. Suburban super-hero Clive's special day has arrived - he is to be made a Dame Commander of the British Empire. He hates travelling to work but will willingly face its horrors today! He outwits the mechanised terrors of his home, getting his clothes and keys. He ignores all perils to grab a bite on the way to the station where, jostled by commuters but neatly avoiding the staff, he uses the cash till and claims a stray brolly before leaping aboard the already departing 8.15. Help, no Financial Times! Without comment he leaps out at the next stop to grab one before the train carries on... otherwise it's the dreaded Waiting Room for him. Into the city, and the bank, the pub and the restaurant all beckon. Coping with the indifferent cashiers is easy - he serves himself. As for the pub, a quick pint and he's out (no Guinless wonder, is our Clive). Carlo's Bistro is a bit dodgy, what with the fuss over the wine, but he gets away into the Underground and copes knowingly with the usual tangle of corridors, officials and massed fellow sufferers, and emerges by the shops. His shoes dirtied, Clive impulse buys a pair Her Majesty would approve of (Elizabeth the First, that is). It's a hair-raising journey today, so avoiding the grazing C5's it's into the Barber's - the Lady Di look, please - and the Chemist's... and still he is only part of the way towards Buckingham Palace. To load, press J key, then holding down the red Symbol Shift key, press P key twice. The screen should show "LOAD". Play the tape. The special loader will not always show the familiar striped border but will count down blocks on screen. Two copies of the game are on side 1 only. Confused? Just wait... You are invited to live A Day in The Life. It'll make you glad to be running a craft shop in the Outer Hebrides. Keyboard controls on loading are set to: Q = up; Z = down; P = right; I = left; 1 = pause. If you have to be an individual, you can choose your own keys or use the joystick of course. If you get into a real mess, hold keys QUIT to... er... quit. If the music really gets up your nose it can be switched on or off with ON or OF (well, it's close enough, isn't it?) Your score on each screen depends entirely on how quickly you complete it. Running out of time will cost you a man, except where trains are involved, where you must go to the revolting Waiting Room and wait for another one... you will score nothing, but you keep the man, so just be grateful. For best results play this cassette into your Spectrum. Alternatively, you can really annoy other drivers if you play it loudly in a traffic jam. 9 out of 10 owners said their C5 prefered it.
