This time Neil shows his skills by written an adventure text game. It's probably the most complex game featured in the book "49 Explosive Games for the ZX Spectrum".
You have to recover stolen money from a gangster. He hid the money in a safe on a bank he owns. You have to break into the bank and steal the money back. A bomb scare is the method you choose, so the city is emptied down.
The idea is a bit nonsensical, because you do it without the authorities knowing about you closing the city and planting a bomb. You do not inform them because otherwise you will appear to be a criminal. What?
Ok. So the main idea is not brilliant. But if you forget about that and imagine yourself in a Monty Pythons movie, you get an engaging adventure game.
