Beware of The Lurking Horror !!! ------------------ The League presents the important things from the package to this great new Infocom adventure. First of all: You won't get long without the password for the PC in the start of the game. TYPE 8 7 2 3 2 5 4 1 2 TYPE UHLERSOTH This should help you get going... The preface from the manual: In the Lurking Horror, you are a student at G.U.E. Tech. You have braved a snowstorm to get to the Computer Center and finish work on an assignment. But the snowstorm has turned into a raging blizzard, and has trapped you in a complex of buildings late at night. You are not alone, fortunately ... or perhaps, unfortunately. Welcome to George Underwood Edwards Institute of Technology (G.U.E. Tech) I (Mr.Who ???), recognizes all the following from my own education at the University of Aarhus in Denmark. The following is from G.U.E at a Glance. Welcome to G.U.E.! You've probably been waiting to go to G.U.E. Tech for years - ever since you realized that science and math were more important to you than just about anything (except eating). And now here you are, in a community of people who feel exactly the same way. Of course, the first thing in your mind is academics, whether you can get a siminar with that Nobel Laurete Physics professor how soon you can have 24-hr access to the Compute Center, whether you can get credit through a work-study program. Most of these questions can be answered by your freshman advisor or by the official student handbook. There are planty of other questions, however, that you should also be asking yourself, questions that your advisor will be hard to put to answer. Questions like, where can you find the best pizza? Where can you find a date? Which dorms should you avoid? Should you subscribe to the meal plan? Where can you go if you're feeling out of control? This handbook attemps to answer some of these questions. Written by upperclass students, G.U.E. At A Glance (sometimes known as GAAG) might tell you things the Administration would rather you didn't know. But we believe that you'd find them out anyway, and that you'll be glad it's sooner rather than later... In spite of what your roommate will tell you, G.U.E. Tech does not have the highest suicide rate in the country. However, it is a high-pressure school. While you're wondering what happened to the distraught student who used to sit next to you in Introductory Calculus, you might also be wondering how you're going to get through midterms without cracking up When things get tough, DON'T PANIC. Help is always available, and no one will think the lesser of you for seeking it. Visits to the Counseling Center don't appear on your permanent record, and complete confidentiality is maintained at all times.
