- Beware of The Lurking Horror !!!
- ------------------
-
- The League presents the important things from the package to this great
- new Infocom adventure.
-
- First of all: You won't get long without the password for the PC in the
- start of the game.
-
- TYPE 8 7 2 3 2 5 4 1 2
- TYPE UHLERSOTH
-
- This should help you get going...
-
- By the way, when solving this adventure, I found a few funny things to try:
-
- In the start:TAKE CHAIR.S.THROW CHAIR AT HACKER
- Later :EAT RAT
-
- I hope that you have the Amiga version of this game, because when I
- started playing this one, I only had a C-64 version... Oh boy, it took
- ages to get from place to place. As you might have found out, the Amiga
- version also includes a wonderful soundtrack! At least a lot of ditized
- horror sounds !!!
-
- The preface from the manual: In the Lurking Horror, you are a student at
- G.U.E. Tech. You have braved a snowstorm to get to the Computer Center
- and finish work on an assignment. But the snowstorm has turned into a
- raging blizzard, and has trapped you in a complex of buildings late at
- night. You are not alone, fortunately ... or perhaps, unfortunately.
-
- Welcome to George Underwood Edwards Institute of Technology (G.U.E. Tech)
-
- I (Mr.Who ???), recognizes all the following from my own education at the
- University of Aarhus in Denmark. The following is from G.U.E at a Glance.
-
- Welcome to G.U.E.!
- You've probably been waiting to go to G.U.E. Tech for years - ever since
- you realized that science and math were more important to you than just
- about anything (except eating). And now here you are, in a community of
- people who feel exactly the same way. Of course, the first thing in your
- mind is academics, whether you can get a siminar with that Nobel Laurete
- Physics professor how soon you can have 24-hr access to the Compute Center,
- whether you can get credit through a work-study program. Most of these
- questions can be answered by your freshman advisor or by the official
- student handbook.
-
- There are planty of other questions, however, that you should also be
- asking yourself, questions that your advisor will be hard to put to
- answer. Questions like, where can you find the best pizza? Where can you
- find a date? Which dorms should you avoid? Should you subscribe to the
- meal plan? Where can you go if you're feeling out of control?
-
- This handbook attemps to answer some of these questions. Written by
- upperclass students, G.U.E. At A Glance (sometimes known as GAAG) might
- tell you things the Administration would rather you didn't know. But we
- believe that you'd find them out anyway, and that you'll be glad it's
- sooner rather than later...
-
- In spite of what your roommate will tell you, G.U.E. Tech does not have
- the highest suicide rate in the country. However, it is a high-pressure
- school. While you're wondering what happened to the distraught student who
- used to sit next to you in Introductory Calculus, you might also be
- wondering how you're going to get through midterms without cracking up
-
- When things get tough, DON'T PANIC. Help is always available, and no one
- will think the lesser of you for seeking it. Visits to the Counseling
- Center don't appear on your permanent record, and complete confidentiality
- is maintained at all times.
