Fun ZX Spectrum crime game from 1992, February 21, 2023by Denk This is an interesting crime game which takes place in 1886 following some events in a theatre where you are an actor. It is one of the many Zenobi games that the late John Wilson made available through his blog. However, many of these games come without the original instructions. It is my impression I was missing some important information for this game too but still I managed to enjoy it with some help from the walkthrough on CASA as well as the small introduction that can also be found on CASA. Still, I felt I was missing some information about the characters you encounter later in the game to properly understand the plot. But 95% of the puzzles were nice and could be solved without this information. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

John tended to write these himself and, speaking as an author of some Zenobi-published games, the synopsis and description in the instructions often bore little resemblance to the game! For reference for others, though, most of the Zenobi instructions are on Mocagh... https://www.mocagh.org/loadpage.php?getcompany=zenobi&npp=25&whatsnew=0&start=0&series=Games For those playing on certain emulators, such as the one on the Internet archive, getting up speech marks can be an issue. The Spectrum keyboard had a unique layout, but pressing the right-hand SHIFT key and the key P together will usually get you there. Left SHIFT and 0 gives you a delete. The only other issue tends to be loading the games themselves, if your emulator doesn't autoload... You do that by typing J (to get LOAD) and then "".
