Postman Pat 3 TO THE RESCUE ! The story The phone rings in Postman Pat's house, its his old friend Delivery Man Dan from Pencaster. Dan tells pat he has a problem, he has just received a large number of telephone directories that need to be delivered by the end of the week but unfortunately, Dan has broken his leg, can Pat help. Pat, being the good sort that he is, agrees to help his friend by doing the deliveries for him. The Game You drive Pat around the streets of Pencaster avoiding the many hazards and obstacles, delivering the telephone directories in the time allowed, without running out of petrol. Just some of the many features * Police cars * Road works * Fire engines * Nails * Cars * Petrol stations * Vans * Complaining customers * Trucks * Cups of delicious tea * Motor bikes * Cyclists Includes * Easy or hard versions * Original theme music * Sound effects Playing the game Deliver a parcel to each house which has a numbered doormat. When delivering a parcel, the van should be on the same side of the road as the house being delivered to. If a parcel misses the door mat, it may be possible to reverse quickly for another try. Pat needs to complete the deliveries quickly, but driving too fast makes it difficult to avoid various hazards, such as road works, nails in the road and other road users. Watch out in particular for wobbly cyclists that wander across the road and vehicles that pull out without warning. The van may need extra petrol to complete the five days, so pull in and stop at the petrol station when the fuel gauge is low. If Pat fails to do the job properly, the number of complaints will mount as shown by the complaint meter and Dan may loose his job. Loading Instructions C64 Press SHIFT and RUN STOP together.
