Embassy Assault
You are one of our country's best agents and have been given the task of acquiring some top secret codes from the strong room of a foreign Embassy. Unfortunately the detailed layout of the Embassy is unknown. But you do know: - it is a four storey building (although not all floors may be accessible). - it is laid out geometrically with each floor being 35 metres square. As you progress you move 5 metres at a time. You have just entered the Embassy on the ground floor (floor 1) through the only entrance somewhere on the south side of the building. The TV displays the full perspective view you have from this point. You are facing north and are equipped with a compass (which is displayed at the bottom of the screen). You must now attempt to find the coderoom, go into it to find the codes and leave the Embassy again through the door by which you entered. You must do this as quickly as possible. Level of Difficulty You are asked at the start of the game to type in a number between 1 and 9 to indicate a level of difficulty of Embassy layout. Level 1 is the easiest; level 9 is the most difficult. Movement You move by pressing the cursor control keys as follows: Key 5 turn left (and move) Key 6 turn around Key 7 move forwards Key 8 turn right (and move) "Move forward" moves you forward 5 metres unless there is a wall in front of you. "Turn around" turns you through a half-circle but you do not move. "Turn left/right (and move)" turns you left/right by a quarter circle. You then move unless there is a wall, a staircase or a door straight ahead. You may only ascend or descend stairs or go through doors by moving forwards.
