JACK THE NIPPER
|
||
|
|
Gremlin 1986
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CONTROLS : Keyboard, Kempston, Cursor
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
AIM : Jack the Nipper is the epitome of naughtiness - the naughtiest
|
||
|
|
kid in town. Now he's trying to set a record for naughtiness. Can you
|
||
|
|
ensure that he does it without getting busted?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GAMEPLAY : JTN has a fair amount of arcade adventure elements - to
|
||
|
|
bump up the Naughtyometer's rating you'll need to perform certain
|
||
|
|
tasks. There are about twenty of these, but they're not that easy to
|
||
|
|
do; quite apart from working out what to do and how to do it, the
|
||
|
|
various other characters around the town will do their best to hinder
|
||
|
|
you. Parents and shopkeepers will do their best to catch Jack, and
|
||
|
|
ghosts will also pester him - although these can be exorcised with a
|
||
|
|
well-aimed peashooter shot.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If Jack collides with another character, he'll get a thrashing which
|
||
|
|
will increase his nappy rash rating (shown at the bottom right of the
|
||
|
|
screen). Too much rash and he'll be "self-spanked off" (a la Andrew
|
||
|
|
Beckwith...) and lose a life.

|
|
|
||
|
|
HOW TO BLOW UP THE COMPUTER
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Go to the Police Station (C7) and take the Battery. Go to the Just Micro Shop
|
||
|
|
(C4) and stand next to the mirror-like object. When the shopkeeper goes into
|
||
|
|
the left hand corner, walk past the mirror and the computers will blow up. Now
|
||
|
|
do a runner or the shopkeeper slaps your botty, increasing rash factor.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
HOW TO KILL THE FLOWERS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Go to I Bloom Plant Shop (A5), climb on the right hand shelf and take the
|
||
|
|
Weedkiller. Trot down to the Garden (G5) and drop the Weedkiller on the flowers
|
||
|
|
and watch them die. You can shoot the flowers first to gain more Naughty Points
|
||
|
|
if you're feeling particularly evil. Once the flowers are poisoned it's time
|
||
|
|
you weren't there or it'll be Smacky Time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
HOW TO DO THE TEETH
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At the Launderette (C9), get the Pot of Glue from the top of the machine and
|
||
|
|
waddle down to the False Teeth Factory (A7). Wait until the keeper is at the
|
||
|
|
far end and then jump onto the conveyer belt nearest the door, then leggit.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
HOW TO STOP SOCK PRODUCTION
|
||
|
|
|
||

|
||
|

take it to the Hummo Sock Factory (A6). Jump on the end of the conveyor belt
|
||
|
|
and run for it.

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
HOW TO GET THE CREDIT CARD FROM THE BEDROOM
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Go to the right of the Bank screen (G3) and you should find a Key. Take this to
|
||
|
|
the Bank (F2). Drop everything but the Key. When the Safe guard moves away,
|
||
|
|
drop the key. Now your pockets are empty. Enter the safe and you should find
|
||
|
|
yourself in a Manic Miner-style room (E2). Jump to the top and get the Soap
|
||
|
|
Powder. Press enter and go through the door. You should end up on top of the
|
||
|
|
wardrobe. Pick-up the Credit Card.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
HOW TO GET THE BOMB, HORN, AND FREE THE PRISONERS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Get the key from the Bank (F2) where you left it. Go to the Museum (C1/2) and
|
||
|
|
go through this hole again, drop the Key, but keep the Pea-Shooter, or you're
|
||
|
|
dead. Watch out for the Fireplace. On a shelf in the next room is a Horn, drop
|
||
|
|
the Horn by the door and go right. Ghosts start to home in on you at this point.
|
||
|
|
After three rooms you see a Bomb on the fireplace. Pick it up and go through
|
||
|
|
the door by the Horn. Go to the Police Station (C8) and into the Cells. Drop
|
||
|
|
the Bomb and all the prisoners escape. At this point the irate policemen chase
|
||
|
|
you and try and tan your hide. Yes, you guessed it, run away!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
HOW TO MAKE A CAT FLY
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Yes, you'll believe a cat can fly. Go to the room with the Horn in it and drop
|
||
|
|
the Pea-Shooter next to the door for a quick getaway. Sneak up behind the
|
||
|
|
slumbering puss and press FIRE. The befuddled pussy cat will now sink it's
|
||
|
|
claws very firmly into the ceiling and will not come down until it's been
|
||
|
|
pacified by it's owner and given some Good Cat Munchies. Beeping your Horn
|
||
|
|
under the cat annoy's people lots, and you gain more Naughty Points.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
HOW TO FOUL UP THE COMPUTER FACTORY
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Go to the Bank (F2) and drop the Key. When the guard moves, run forwards and
|
||
|
|
pick up the Floppy Disk. Now go to Technology (A9) and jump at the table with
|
||
|
|
one computer on it and then leg it, quickly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
HOW TO DO THE LAUNDRY
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Get the Soap from E2 and go to the Launderette (C9). Jump onto the socks and
|
||
|
|
the machines start to bubble furiously, a bit like the grown-ups.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
HOW TO OVERDRAW A BANK ACCOUNT
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Get the Credit Card and go to the Bank (G2). Jump at the Cash Dispenser on the
|
||
|
|
wall and watch it explode.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
HOW TO ANNOY THE GARDEN KEEPER
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After killing the man's flowers you feel a might remorseful. Trot down to the
|
||
|
|
Graveyard (G6) and shoot the ghostie. Pick up the Fertilizer and drop it on the
|
||
|
|
nice man's rotting flowers (G5). Now the nice man is very happy .... or is he?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
HOW TO SCARE YOUR SIBLINGS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you go into the Playschool (E1) and through the door you find the kiddie's
|
||
|
|
clay table. Take this to a room full of screaming youngsters (F1). Now the
|
||
|
|
children have a real monster to play with, tee, hee.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
HOW TO MAKE THE CHINA SHOP MAN VERY ANGRY
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Take the Potty from the Playschool (E1). Beware because it's not empty, Ho, Ho.
|
||
|
|
Trot down to the China Shop (C6) and smash it and any other objects you are
|
||
|
|
carrying.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
THE GAME IS FINISHED. YOU ARE INDEED A LITTLE HORROR. TEE, HEE.
