Busted

As the adventure begins, your friend has left a message on your
dorm room's answering machine. He's been arrested and implores you
to find and destroy all incriminating evidence. You're nothing if
not loyal..

SEARCH THE ASHTRAY (NOT "ash tray", as the game calls it).  Take
the ROACH, leave the ASHTRAY. Get the NOTE (or at least read it
and write the number down). Get the JOINT, ID, LIGHTER.  Open the
wallet and get the MONEY. Leave the wallet.  Eventually, your
girlfriend will show up and throw a TEDDY BEAR at you. Take it.

You're getting hungry. Head over to the dining room. On the way, a
guy shows up and 'needles' you a bit. Think nothing of it. There,
show the woman your ID. By the way, make note of your student
number on your ID card for later.

Go to the food line. STAND IN LINE. You'll get some food on a
tray. You're hungry enough to DIE in few more turns - but that's
still not enough to make THIS food appetizing! Go to the smoking
section. Light and smoke the ROACH. EAT. Nearby, find your
burn-out friend, Milton. He wants that JOINT. You'll have to light
it first. One of the "traps" I mentioned happens here. Had you
smoked the JOINT when you needed the "munchies," you wouldn't be
able to finish the game. Milton won't accept the ROACH. He wants
the JOINT.

In the kitchen, get the OIL. Get the CEREAL. OPEN it, SEARCH it,
EMPTY it. Eventually a PENDANT will fall out. THAT'S what you
want. Leave the CEREAL (but try EATING it first).

Up on the roof, get your BONG. This is the first piece of
contraband you are trying to collect and destroy. Leave the
kitchen (remove the clothing Milton gave you). Head back east,
past your dorm to the Student Center Concourse. You can't carry
everything you need. Somewhere around here would be a good place
to start a great big pile.  Get anything that's not nailed down
(because there isn't a hammer in this game). Get the stuff in the
Lost and Found box.  Leave that girl alone! You'll need the
UMBRELLA, WALKMAN, GLOVES, SUNGLASSES. Keep movement economical
because, like the race to EAT, you're coming up on another
deadline: the race to SLEEP.

Don't go up the elevator yet!

OPEN THE UMBRELLA and head east (outside the Concourse), then
north, then east to the library. PUT ID IN SLOT then type the
number on the NOTE you found at your dorm on the computer
terminal. Get the BOOK. OPEN it, SEARCH it, TEAR OUT THE PREFACE.
This your second piece of incriminating evidence. Get your ID.
Leave the BOOK.

Go back to the west, go north to the elevator. Head up the
elevator to floor "L". This is another trap. If you'd already been
here, and had you given your ID to the woman at the counter, you
wouldn't be able to finish the game - and you wouldn't know that
for a frustratingly long time. Because she CUTS IT UP, you
wouldn't have had it to put in the library's computer later. Not
really fair. So be sure you've used your ID in the library BEFORE
she gets a hold of it! Go north. ASK EMPLOYEE ABOUT ROOM.  If you
give her your your ID, she cuts it up. Go north, past the duck
pond into the administration building. TURN THE SIGN.

Go west into the admin office and ASK BOB ABOUT FORM. Tell Bob the
student number on your ID card. Get the FORM. Take it up to the
hotel lobby. Give it to the employee and get the ROOM KEY.

Go to floor "H". Get some sleep. Go back to the Student Concourse.
Go north to the Jesus freak. This is yet another place where you
can unknowingly make a game-ruining move. Notice the BARRY MANILOW
TAPE he has. Show it to him. He'll give it to you. But he won't
let you KEEP it until you show him the PENDANT; he runs off
frightened and forgets you have it. The problem? He'll also run
off WITH the tape if you haven't asked him for it first - never to
be seen again!

Go as far east as you can. POUR THE OIL on the grate and open the
grate. Go down. Open the CHEST and get the PLIERS. You can leave
the CHEST. There's nothing more to do here - that drain is not of
use. Put BARRY in the WALKMAN. WEAR WALKMAN. PLAY IT. WEAR
GLASSES. Now you can go into the area with the flashing lights
(north of the Student Concourse).

Get the LUNCH BOX and other stuff. Use the PLIERS to get the
QUARTER in the game machine. Go east until you get to the DRINK
MACHINE. Buy and get the COFFEE. Go upstairs until you get to the
REPUBLICAN. Give him the ECSTASY. Give him the TEDDY BEAR. Get the
third item you need, the SCALE.  Wander over past the pond west
and north to the doctor's office.  WAIT in the waiting room. Drink
the COFFEE, then go in and say, DR., EXAMINE ME. He'll give you a
PRESCRIPTION. Take it to the PHARMACY and get VALIUM.

Things wrap up quickly, now. You're potentially mellow enough to
get past the police roadblock. Put the three incriminating items
in the LUNCH BOX. CLOSE IT. EAT THE VALIUM. Walk past the
barriers. (Be sure you have the VIAL OF LIQUID.) There's a fourth
item here you need to collect. SEARCH THE BUSHES. You'll find an
ADDRESS BOOK. Take it. Go east and down to the incinerator area.
Drink the VIAL. Go to the incinerator. Throw the four
incriminating items into the fire.  Leave. Win. I finished with
158 points out of a possible 154!  Damn, I'm good! - hope you were
too!

Things never used:
The ASH TRAY, the KATE BUSH TAPE, the TOOL BOX, the TEA or SOUP in
the vending machine, the NEWSPAPER, the PEPPER SHAKER, the FOOD
TRAY, the strange GREEN LIQUID, the freak's PAMPHLETS - probably a
couple more.
