The Game

Deep in the heart of the hills of Wenley, something is amiss - the Wenley Moor nuclear power plant buried five hundred feet below ground level is at risk.

The control computer has been infected by a virus from an unknown source which has caused the complete shutdown of all computer systems and a total randomisation of the core settings. Fortunately the computer is now offline, but there's a catch - all 99 cores are now dangerously unstable and, although all shields are in place for now, they will soon be unable to contain the entropy.

It's up to you to straighten this mess out! You have at your disposal a core monitor unit to enter each core and edit the rod states, but there is a further problem. When you toggle a rod, a chain reaction occurs in the surrounding eight causing them to flip states too and, worse still, the core shields must be disabled to allow the monitor unit access to a core so each has a time limit until meltdown.

Succeed and you save the entire planet from a gigantic nuclear explosion. Fail, and that's it.

Good luck!
