III-SPY by Steve McCrea ------------------- Welcome to III-Spy, the umpteenth adventure in Reality-on-the-Norm and the third in the I Spy series starring Mika Huy. No previous knowledge of R-o-t-N is required to play this game, but there are some throwaway comments that will make no sense otherwise. Background Mika Huy is a photographer from New York who settles in the seemingly sleepy town of Reality-on-the-Norm, and takes a job as a reporter for the local paper, the Realiser. However, the town proves itself to be anything but sleepy, thanks mostly to the efforts of Davy Jones, teenage magician. Davy resurrects local man Michael Gower, and Gower goes on to become the town's first zombie mayor. How to play You control Mika as she gets her latest scoop. Left click on objects to perform the action described at the bottom of the screen. Right click cycles between look, walk, use and talk. Move the mouse to the top of the screen to bring up the icon bar, which has your inventory on the left, and game options on the right. When talking to people, you can choose what to say by clicking on the options that appear on the bottom of the screen. Thanks to my beta testers Dave Gilbert, Daniel B Finkenberg, Creed Malay, and Brandon Klassen for pointing out my stupidest bugs. Enjoy! Steve Antwerp, 24 September 2003
