Pink Panther Docs by THE DEMON ============================== (c) 1987 micro-partner Pink Panther is completely broke again due to his excessive way of living and is now looking for a job. `Butler' would be the right thing, opportunity to live in comfortable homes and rob the owners at night. Five burgalaries would do it nicely! Then Pink Panther could afford a holiday in the South in order to recover from his hard work. Hard Work ? Ah yes, when he applied for the jobs, Pink Panther didn't know that all his masters were into sleepwalking. Now he has to guide his employer carefully through the house enabling him to pick up the valuables without his master waking up. But Inspector Clouseau is not so lazy either! For years he has tried to catch Pink Panther on the nap. So he sneaks about the house as well. How can Pink Panther in all this confusion reach his goal, without getting caught? However, he has some tricks up his sleeve... GAMEPLAY ======== First Pink Panther can choose where to go: - looking through the job offers (here he can choose an employer) - into the department store (the wealthy his employer the better) Pink Pathers appearance has to be good. If he has enough money he can buy tophat and tails for his job.) So, now equiped, he can introduce himself. You can get into the houses of the richer if you have successfully raided... ehm, visited the previous ones. For the different houses you need: - house 0:- - house 1:tophat - house 2:gold watch - house 3:reference(faked) - house 4:car Guide the SleepWalkers ====================== 1) If pink panther stands in the defensive position facing the sleepwalker (fire and direction) the latter changes his direction when colliding with Pink Panther. 2) If you want the sleepwalker to change direction (front/back) Pink Panther has to face the desired direction and jingle the bell. Pink Panther can make use of his tricks: he can inflate some objects, for example, a phantom-panther out of plastic that makes the sleepwalker turn around and catches the Ispectors attention. Even the Inflatable hole has unhappy consequences for the Inspector: of course he'll fall into it! In order to direct the sleep-walker from a distance Pink Panther can distribute catapults and boards which guide the sleepwalker safely around obstacles. The other items...you'll see!
