Yet another game from my youth. This is a 16K adventure game which originally came out on ZX81 if I remember right. It had a real life prize of a £6000 gold sundial if you could solve the clues within the game and be at the right place on the right day. There was no plot as such, just find your way in then out of the Pi-man's world. It took 4 years for anyone to solve the clues and I'm not surprised.

I had the idea of putting up a full walkthrough but the game just involves a load of running round in circles so most of this in in super fast forward. If I hadn't been able to put my emulator on 6x speed in the first place I'd never have had the patience to get to the end myself as it's really slow moving about. There are only 21 locations in the game but you must see each one about 100 times.

I've included the music off the B-side of the cassette after the start of the game.
