OFFICE
This episode begins
in your office. The Commissioner has informed you that TV Talk Show Host
Myra Stump is holding her audience hostage. You have to stop her, and
rescue her audience.
Explore the
office. Talk to Max and work through all the dialogue. Use the
answering machine a few times to hear some amusing messages. Turn on the
TV on the desk to see Myra at the TV station. Open cupboard on the right,
and look at Brady Culture’s hair. When you’re ready, leave the
office.
STREET
Walk left a few
steps, and enter Sybil’s Shop.
SYBIL’S SHOP
Talk to Sybil and
work through all the dialogue. She needs a photo for the cover of her new
magazine publication. Explore the shop, and when you’re ready, leave the
shop.
STREET
Walk right, and
continue right until you reach Bosco’s Inconvenience Shop. Enter the
shop.
BOSCO’S INCONVENIENCE SHOP
Work through all the dialogue with Bosco. He’s convinced someone
is stealing his shaving cream. He tells you that he has a VOICE
MODULATOR for sale behind the counter. It’s just a pity you
can’t afford it right now. Try to take the SHAVING CREAM from
the table next to the door… only to see it get pinched by Jimmy
Two-Teeth! Explore the shop. When you’re ready, leave the
shop.
STREET
Walk left a few
steps, and click on the Desoto car. Select the following option.
- After those rats!
You’re now in a high-speed chase with Jimmy and his pals. Select
the BIG GUN, and start shooting at Jimmy’s car. The aim, is
to make Jimmy drive into a manhole in the road. Keep shooting the car on
the right side, so it moves closer to the middle of the road. When you
see a manhole, shoot Jimmy’s car again. Jimmy and his pals will fall down
into the manhole, and you get the SHAVING CREAM.
Click on the Desoto
car again, and choose the following dialogue.
- The TV Studio.
TV STUDIO
Explore the studio. Walk right a few steps, talk to the Director,
and work through all the dialogue. She’s holding auditions for the
’Midtown Cowboys’ TV programme, and you and Max decide to
audition. However, you need to prepare for the role. During your
audition, use the SHAVING CREAM on yourself, to make it seem
as though you have rabies. Now it’s Max’s turn to audition. You
have to help him show sadness. Use TEAR GAS GRENADE
LAUNCHER on Max to make him cry. Both your auditions were a
success, and the Director hires you. Head through the sitcom door on the
right, into the Midtown Cowboys set.
TV STUDIO - MIDTOWN COWBOYS
In the first scene, you and Max are in your apartment, and you have to
hide your cow from the grumpy landlord. Work through the dialogue with
the Director. Now it’s time for the scene. Pick up PLATE from
the table behind you. Take LAMPSHADE from the lamp next
to the chair (it looks like a chef‘s hat). Look at cactus on the cabinet
below the window. Look at trophy and books on the shelves on the left.
Look at TV on the left. Now look at the cow, and look at the cowpie on
the floor behind her. DON’T pull the cow’s tail yet! Place
the LAMPSHADE on the cow’s head to disguise her. Your
landlord will enter the apartment, and accuse you of hiding a cow in the
apartment. Use the following dialogue option.
- Our chef.
Notice the cowpie that the cow… deposited. Use the PLATE on
the cowpie to pick it up. The landlord will walk behind the cow, and pull
her tail. Use the following dialogue option.
- “Moo Goo Gai Pan,“ a delicious
food.
You automatically feed the plate of cowpie to your landlord. Watch
how the scene plays out. At the end of the scene, the Director will give
you a MIDTOWN COWBOYS CLIP videotape of your
performance. Go through the Cooking Show door on the right.
TV STUDIO - COOKING WITHOUT LOOKING
In this scene,
you’re in a kitchen. Explore the set. Click on the pot on the front
counter to start shooting. Use the following dialogue option.
- A cake!
Pick any ingredients you like to add to the cake. When you’re
happy with your cake, click on the oven icon at the bottom right to cook
it. That’s all you have to do here. You get to keep the CAKE you
baked.
Walk through door
on the left, back into the Midtown Cowboys set.
TV STUDIO - MIDTOWN COWBOYS
Go through the Game
Show door on the right wall.
TV STUDIO - WHO’S NEVER GOING TO BE A MILLIONAIRE
This studio is set up for a game show, presented by Hugh Bliss, inventor
of Prismatology. Work through all the dialogue with Hugh. He’s
trying to promote his new book. If you’ve already spoken to Sybil in her
shop, you know that she wants a photo of 3 people, including a green
alien. This is your chance to help her. Ask Hugh to turn
green. Make sure you ask about a photo with Hugh. He agrees, and
you get a PHOTO WITH HUGH BLISS. Now explore the
studio. Click on the podium if you like, but you will get the question
wrong. When you’re ready, go through the pink Talk Show door on the
right.
TV STUDIO - MYRA
Myra Stump is
behind the door. Work through all the dialogue with her. She won’t
let you be a guest on her show, unless you show her your recording contract, a
clip from your TV programme, and evidence of a juicy scandal you were involved
in. You should already have a clip from your Sitcom, so give her that
just now. If you don’t have that yet, don’t worry, you can come back here
later. When conversation is over, walk left a few steps, and head back
through the Midtown Cowboys door.
TV STUDIO - MIDTOWN COWBOYS
Head through the
Embarrassing Idol door on the left.
TV STUDIO - EMBARRASSING IDOL
This studio
features a music singing show, starring the Soda Poppers kids from the last
episode. They need another judge, so Max volunteers himself as a
judge.
The first
contestant is Peepers. Watch him perform - he’s terrible!
Unfortunately, Peepers is the ONLY contestant! Maybe you could find
someone else to take part in the contest? After Peepers has finished his
performance, talk to Max and work through all the dialogue. Talk to Specs
and work through all the dialogue - note that says he is impressed by someone
who can sing a high note. Talk to Whizzer and work through all the
dialogue - note his comments about his birthday. Also note that he
dislikes tomatoes.
When conversation is over, look at the pool of green acid with the shark
swimming in it. Click on the microphone on the platform to start
performing - select any song title that takes your fancy, then select any
lyrics you like. Unfortunately, you haven’t impressed the judges.
After your performance, walk right a few steps. Talk to Peepers and work
through all the dialogue. Take PEEPERS’ LYRICS from the
apple crate next to him. Now head through the blue sitcom door, into
Midtown Cowboys.
TV STUDIO - MIDTOWN COWBOYS
Walk right a few
steps, and go through Game Show door on the right.
TV STUDIO - WHO’S NEVER GOING TO BE A MILLIONAIRE
Click on the podium on the left to take part in Hugh’s game
contest. No matter what answer you select, you’ll still get it
wrong. Now look at Hugh’s podium, and take GAME SHOW QUESTIONS from
the card slot. Place PEEPERS’ LYRICS into the card slot,
in place of the real questions. Now click on podium on the left
again. Hugh will ask you another question, but this time, he’ll be
reading from Peeper’s lyrics cards. That means you can answer it.
Hugh will ask you ‘Am I Blue?’. Look at the colour of Hugh,
and answer the question accordingly. If he’s blue, answer ‘Yes’. If
he’s red or green, answer ‘No’. Congratulations, you win the game
show! Unfortunately, they don’t actually have £1 million pounds to give
you, so they give you £1 million worth of FOOD STAMPS instead.
This would be a
good time to go back home, and check on your friend Sybil. Head through
the Midtown Cowboys door on the left.

Give FOOD STAMPS to Bosco, and buy the VOICE
MODULATOR instead. Now walk left a few steps, to the Fine

judges. Use VOICE MODULATOR on yourself to make your
voice higher, then click on the microphone to start singing. As before,
choose any song title, and choose any song lyrics.
You impressed Specs with your high note, so you won his vote. Max
always votes for you anyway, so you have his vote. You’ve won the
contest, Sam. Congratulations. Your prize is a RECORDING

cowboys.

haven’t already given it to her).
Myra finally agrees
to let you be guests in her Talk Show.
Watch a short cut scene - there‘s something not quite right with that
blue bear. Now work through all the dialogue with Myra. When she
starts babbling, use VOICE MODULATOR on yourself, then talk to
Myra again. Use the following dialogue option.
- I’d rather relive my embarrassing Idol
glory.
You start singing,
and playing the banjo. The glass of water in front of Myra breaks.
Talk to Myra again, using the following dialogue options.
- About that picture in the ‘Times’…
- There was someone else involved.
- Bessy the cow.
Bessy is invited
back, to talk to Myra. Myra moves the microphone so that Bessy can reach
it. Myra and the blue bear are electrocuted, and the blue bear is
destroyed. Now sit back and enjoy the final cut scene.
The End!
