===================================================== MUSIC EDUCATION- By Bill Linney ===================================================== NOTE FROM AUTHOR: Following the walkthru will get you through the game, but you'll miss out on a lot of the (supposedly) amusing things in the game. I hope you have lots of fun playing the game- I know I had a blast writing it. This is my first and probably last game because it is a whole *#%#!@ lot of work. Raised on Infocom games since I was knee-high to a grasshopper, I have tried to pattern this game after the classic Infocom games. If people like it I may, during some future lapse of sanity, write another game. The way I see it, if everybody writes one really good game, then we will never run out of text-adventure games to play! Oh well, it looked good on paper. Feel free to send email. email address: linney@clearsail.net Sincerely, Bill Linney ===================================================== HINTS AND WALKTHRU ===================================================== WARNING!

Listening in on Krappa Krappa Psi's weekly meeting? Listening to the music in Hardly's? Wearing the Krappa Krappa Psi t-shirt? Taking the football from Matt and Craig? Attacking Bart Lygon? Looking at Mr. Copenhagen's medal? Reading the writing on the different pianos? Taking the tuba from Tim's office? Looking behind something besides the curtain? Playing something besides the saxophone? Smelling the practice module? Looking at the car? Asking Tony about Mahler? Asking Joseph about different things and people? Getting in the car? Watching what the policeman does after the parking meter has been fed? Reading the writing on the mixing board or tape recorder? Attacking someone with something? Saying something to Krappa Krappa Psi? Watching Bart work on the computer for a few turns? Watching what the audience does if the concert doesn't start in time? Checking what your score (rank) is?
