Mailstrom Walkthrough, ZX Spectrum
79A walkthrough of the ZX Spectrum game, Mailstrom. A 1986 game from Ocean. There doesn't appear to be an ending to this, so it's been played until the end of day ten...You are Michael Nasty and your objective is to maintain the last outpost of a formerly proud postal service in a crumbling society. Collect letters from the 'OUT' chute in the sorting office, this will cause several numbers at the bottom of the screen to light up. These numbers correspond to the numbers of houses to which you must deliver letters.
Open post boxes (by any means at your disposal) to find sacks which must be stored in your van for later. when a sorting office appears deposit the sacks (stored in the back of your van) in the 'IN' section.
At any sorting office the number of sacks you deposit in the 'IN' chute will determine the number of sorted letters you can retrieve from the 'OUT' chute, of that office on the following day. At the end of each day you will be told how many sacks you must store in the sorting offices on the next day in order to continue the game. If you fail to deposit at least that number of sacks, the game will end.
From the recording originally sent by C Nonsense in BASIC, 0:1 to http://www.rzxarchive.co.uk/ . Recorded using "rollback", a feature of the emulator which allows you to mark a point, which you can then roll back to later if you get into difficulty, and try again.
