[comp.sys.amiga.games] Infocom's Bureaucracy

zerkle@iris.ucdavis.edu (Dan Zerkle) (11/13/90)

Spoilers ahead.  Don't keep reading unless you've gotten to the
airport.

I need a very small hint for Bureaucracy.  In don't want you to give
me the answer.  That would ruin the fun.  I just want you to tell me
the right place to look.

I can't get out of my home town.  I need to get to the airport.  I can
get in the taxi, and he'll take me to the airport, but I don't have
any cash to pay him.  I can't get anything out of the bank.

This is what I've done so far:

Gotten assorted mail with little stickers (B, C, and D), from the
mansion, the paranoid, and the stamp collector.

Eaten a burger (but not paid for it).

Fed the llama (but it didn't help anything).

Got the airplane ticket (Californians are NOT like that).

Gotten the recipie cartridge (do I cook the llama later?  why? don't
answer that).

Learned exactly nothing with the phone.

Bought nothing from the nerd.

Etc., etc.  I figure that I need to get that check that is coming to
me, but it never arrives.  The call to the people who should have sent
it gets me nowhere fast.  Once I get the check, I can take it to the
bank and cash it, to pay the taxi driver and get out at the airport,
but I can't get the check.

Don't tell me exactly how to do that.  Just give me an area to keep
looking, so I don't waste time in the wrong place.  Something like
"keep trying with the phone", or "the llama will get you there" would
be adequate.

Please use E-MAIL.  I don't follow this group.

By the way, why is it that Brits misspell "jail" as "gaol", anyway?
You'd think they invented the language!
