Cracking Day Out - Starring Egghead
===================================

After returning from a somewhat more adventurous holiday than he had hoped
for, our hero EggHead returns to his pad in sunny [ Nottingham to the usual
pile of unwanted post. Among the bills, prize riraw winnings and other junk 
mail, was a rather curious hand-written note which read:

EggHead, Our mutual friend Izzy has been kidnapped by evil Commodore 
extremists, who are hell-bent on erasing all traces of Sinclair technology 
from the known world with their menacing Sinclair Death Ray technology. 
This device has the power to vaporise a thousand Spectrums in a matter of 
seconds, and their programmers are currently writing a deadly virus, which 
will eliminate every Spectrum emulator from the Internet and shut down the, 
World of Spectrum website, for good. This is a dire situation! It was Izzy 
who unearthed this malevolent plot, but he was led into a trap and I cannot 
slow them down any longer. I, and the world, need your help!

I have been working covertly in the EU CCC (Extremist Union of Commodorc 
Computer Clubs) for some years, but alas I can do no more without putting 
myself and my family in danger. I have discovered the group's password to 
the main servers here, and for safety reasons, have enerypted it and hidden 
it around The Incredible Museum of Computers at Crotchley Park, which is the 
only place in the country with the technology powerful enough to decipher it.
But be warned... it will come out in German, so you will need to find a way 
to translate the code! Once you have the password, you will need to break 
into the group's head-quarters, based in Erdington, West Midlands. I have 
enclosed a map of the complex. If you shut down the servers, then I will 
have enough time to rescue Izzy during all of the calamity created. Izzy and 
I can then bring this evil organisation to its knees by disabling the 
Sinclair Death Ray for good.

Signed, Agent 00110000

On accepting this task, you must help EggHead collect the segments of 
enerypted code from The Incredible Museum of Computers at Crotchley Park. 
However, Commodore extremists are patrolling the Museum, searching for 
Sinclair machines to collect and destroy. Not to arouse suspicion, EggHead 
travels with a group of pensioners on an organised tour from Nottingham
City Centre on Thursday morning, and on arrival he sneaks unnoticed to 
explore the Museum's locations.

Good Luck.

Yes, people are still writing games for the ZX Spectrum ...
Help our dairydevil hero crack the code hidden around Bletchley Park.
Avoid the nasties patrolling the various locations, and try not to fall
too far. Eggs break easily you know! All messages are attached to bombs
and will self-destruct if not defused in time. Come on, choose your method
of control, and get cracking! If you are playing this game while at TNMOC
at Bletchley, make sure to pay Lin a visit at the shop. It's amazing what
you can do in about 6000 lines of assembly language ...

This is a game that was designed for the National Museum of Computing at 
Bletchley Park, UK, and is actually based on places at the museum. The game 
map was drawn on the back of a time sheet, and submitted with a detailed 
game spec for Jonathan to work on. It was due to be released in the late 
summer or early autumn of 2010, however, due to some concerns from the 
trustees of the museum, its release status is not known.
