          DELTA SOFTWARE April 1988


     Introducing adventyurnuyu game ROBIN
OF SHERLOCK, I hasten to add: this
program will require the player to dovolnotaki good knowledge 
of English. Of course, you will be able to play,

satisfied with a simple translation
descriptions of locations, but believe me, the true
pleasure from the game will not get as
remain without attention and a variety of jokes
dialogues, which are also very much
humor.

     The very name of the game leads to
different thoughts, but from the first steps in
game, it becomes clear that this is a parody
(It seems that the firm has succeeded in DELTA 4
establishment of such programs, remember though
would play BORED OF THE RINGS). Tak wandering
the game space of the first part, you
can meet the well-known
characters in various books and adventyurnyh
Game: DOROTHY (a character from the book "WIZARD
OF OZ "in Russian is called
"The Wizard of Oz" and a girl
called Ellie), DEAD WATSON (well, and it
of course well-known companion
Sherlock Holmes, whom it seems that
someone killed), by calling you
hear his voice Inspector
LESTRADE (also a character from the narratives
Sherlock Holmes), a few friends
ROBIN: WILL SCARLET, LITTLE JOHN,
NAZEER, and of course his girlfriend MARIAN.
Sometimes you will run up to the RAIDER OF
HELL, which in this game is not dangerous,
Unlike programs THE HOBBIT, LORDS
OF THE RINGS and BORED OF THE RINGS.

     And now for a little bit about the game.

     In each part you will
unravel the various crimes, and
probably need to move from one
part to another not only once, and objects
collected in one part may come in handy
in another. So do not be discouraged if you
do not already know what can be done in the first
part, and unused items
remains very much.

     Now a bit about the features
program. I still do not know how
properly record the situation in the game, and
Practicing this method itself: in the first
side is at least two exits in
second. Find them very easy, when you exit
in another part of you will be prompted to save
game, then shipped the situation
suitable for the second part, and when you
want to load it in the first part, then
running second, to request a file name
Enter the name of the first shipment
program. Then, in the first location
go back (probably to the north) is
output in the first part, here you can
save the situation, which can be
load at the start of the program. But
Do not despair, the program provides some useful verbs like 
RAMSAVE and RAMLOAD saving and loading in

memory. Now that you're
interact with the characters (no this is not one
crime does not unravel). Typing
command TALK TO (character name), press
Enter the following line and write all that
want to tell him. Usually, this: HELLO
(Welcome) and ABOUT (please
tell about the crime). During the game
You can use the verb LISTEN
(Listen) and a rarely used
verb, as REDIAL (call back). As
known from the beginning you have
bezprovolochny phone and call you
LESTRADE'u, which in most cases
will ask for more evidence. Program
understands the reduction to four letters. AND
I also want to say that the program understands
a lot of swearing, so if you
try using obscene language to speak, then you
waiting for the inscription SWEAR NOT (not swear) and some
what else. Your account on the game can be found
team of SCORE.

     And now, those who like to pass
adventyurnye game from start to finish itself
ask Scroll page forward. Well
I try to tell others how
disclose an offense in the first
part of the game.

     To begin with advise to take the lamp (AN
OIL LAMP) in the location COMFORTABLE MOSSY
HOLLOW. You'll find it, passing to the south and then east from 
the launch pad. It should be noted that the bulb - the subject 
of a very useful and now you can see at night. On the way

the lamp you will likely find a priest. Frankly, I do not know 
why except for fun, he needed the game.

If you could stand a little longer in this location,
is something to see and hear. Next
advise to go to the river - on its western
Bank WEST BANK OF THE RIVER. There can be
get hold of a cigarette lighter (DISPOSABLE
LIGHTER). Anyone who walked into the female
Monastery (CONVENT) have probably realized
why it is needed. I want to say that
Mapping of the game does not hurt, so
how in Sherwood Forest is very easy
lost. To this end, useful lessons
I advise to take a sheet of paper a little more, so
both locations in all parts of the interconnected
and a total of about 200. While you
walk around the game space, collect the items coming across. 
Many of them This part may not be necessary, but

likely to be useful on. Thus,
can now be sent to the monastery. In
location WINDSWEPT STRETCH select
Nuns Robe (NUN'S HABITE) and now
you miss the monastery (assuming
What will you give a light nun) - is
location ENTRANCE LOBBY OF THE CONVENT. A
there, going to the top, in the main office
nuns (MOTHER SUPERRIOR'S OFFICE)
Inspect her desk (EXAM DESK), finding
letter (LETTER), you get the first
proof. Going into the woods to the east of
village (SMURPH'S VILLAGE), we find the gnome
(GARDEN GNOME). It seems that he is also connected with the 
crime. Now you can go to location of THE EDGE OF THE SMURPH 
VILLAGE, where there are suspicious box in the house

from the village. Previous attempts to enter into
He showed that the Holy Father (GODFATHER
SMURPH), who is there, set up
hostility. But overhearing interesnenky
conversations (LISTEN), we get another clue. And now you can 
call the inspector (REDIAL LESTRADE) and he did not dare ask 
for more evidence. Thus you expose the nuns and the Holy Father 
in dirty deeds and bad behavior.


     The first part can be done
something like buy a ticket at the station
(DINGY TICKET OFFICE) via credit
Card (CREDIT CARD), as well as
work out something interesting than to MARIAN.
I think for the beginning of this information would be enough, 
and continue to play themselves, and then will be quite 
interesting.
