CLUES

In part a:
* When asked which gadgets you require, enter a single gadget number
at a time, pressing Enter after each number.
* Remember that your destination is not necessarily one of those
displayed on the screen - it may be somewhere far more exotic!
* When a situation arises, respond in normal sentences.
* If your strength or weaponry is running low, return to London for it
to be replenished - but not too often!
* There are two types of clues to help you to find the location of the
island. Firstly there are the coded messages, which you must decode.
The second set of clues are the single letters which you may be
given. Each letter appears in the name of the location, so if you
collect the letters and swap them round you will eventually discover
the secret. Please note that if you are killed and re-incarnated you
must start the letter collecting clue again because the location may
have changed.
* When you find the correct location there will be a wait of 80
seconds whilst the island is set up.

In part b:
* Enter 'n', 's', 'e' or 'w' as a direction.
* Watch your strength rating. Remember that an island is surrounded
by sea.
* Note your movements, so that if you find the energy tablets you can
return to them to gain extra strength.
* If you run out of weapons, continue fighting by kicking, hitting,
etc.

In part c:
* Try not to stay in one room for too long. To retrace your steps
press key 6 twice; this rotates you by 180 degrees so that you are
facing the opposite direction.

In part d:
* You're on your own!
