Buffer Adventure (Buffer Micro Limited)

Buffer Adventure is an adventure set inside the Buffer Micro shop. Inside you must discover the idiosyncrasies of the weird and wonderful characters who work in the shop. To complete the adventure you must enter the shop and search its many rooms and passages to find your credit card and buy the goods in the shop. When you have paid for your goods you will be permitted to leave.

Every correct action you perform will increase your score but beware of making mistakes for one wrong move could leave you trapped forever, never to see the light of day again. Also you must be careful not to annoy the employees of the Buffer shop, for one step too far and you could be dead.

Draw a map as you go to help you remember your position and watch out for sarcastic comments from your computer. In this shop your spectrum takes full command and will stand for no nonsense.

Keep an eye out for clues scattered around which may lead you to find what you're looking for. If you do make a fatal mistake then you can always start again, and the knowledge that you have previously acquired will assist you further the next time you play.

An exciting adventure requiring much thought and a talent for solving new challenges. The only problem I encountered was communication. The vocabulary was rather limited and it was difficult finding words that the computer could understand. A lot of fun however. Well worth buying.
