Santa's Mission

A new game for 16/48K Spectrum by Paul Sellin

Popular Computing Weekly (Vol 2 No 51) - 22/12/83 - 04-01-84

The object of the game, for the 16K or 48K Spectrum, is to get Santa to safety off his sleigh and on to a chimney-top. He must then visit every room where he will put down a present.

He can climb up and down chimneys and ladders, but he must be quick as his escape route can be filled-in behind him! Santa can also dig (using key D) and east from the tables on the ground floor (key E). Beware of getting drink, as his stumbling will wake the family if he goes upstairs, and if Santa is too fat he will not fit up the Chimney.

Movement is by Q and A for up and down, and Z and X for left and right. Q will also call up the sleigh when Santa is on a chimney-top, and it will also let him jump on the sleigh to win the game when every present has been put down.
