Having managed to steal your report during the last few skooldaze of term, you've spent the whole holiday forging teachers' signatures and handwriting to make yourself look like the brightest, sweetest natured, most helpful little soul ever to carry a satchel.
Now all you've got to do is get it back into the Head's safe...
A couple of years ago, your elder brother had exactly the same problem and has lent you his old copy of the School Rules, on which he's scribbled some notes in invisible ink. Holding the paper over a bonfire made from the swot's cap, you can just make out the following:
O - Left, P - Right, Q - Up, A - Down (Use CAPS SHIFT to move faster)
F - Fire Catapult (FIRE on joystick)
C - Catch mouse/frog, D/U - Drop stink bomb (if you have any)
G - Shoot water pistol, H - Hit, J/L - Jump/Leap, M - Mount bicycle, R - Release mouse (only works in girls' school)
S - Sit/stand, T - Throw away water pistol, W - Write
To pedal bike, use the O & P keys, or waggle the joystick.
Q lets you stand on the saddle; A lets you get off the bike. You can jump up whilst standing on the saddle.
Press O when sitting at a desk to open it and find out what, if anything, is inside.
W lets you start writing on the blackboard. When you finish, press ENTER.
The program is set up to use the keyboard and suggested names for the characters have been included. You are given the opportunity to select one of several types of joystick, and to alter the names immediately after the game has loaded. If you want to make changes, you should press any letter key whilst the 10 second countdown is going on.
