FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD - OCEAN SOFTWARE LTD Frankie have sent you over 60 tasks in your journey from Mundanesville through the Pleasure Dome. Tasks ranging from the trivial, to heroic feats of skill and intelligence.

Your goal is to become a complete person and to achieve this you must reach the top on the Bar Charts (when the letters BANG will appear above the personality factors) and achieve a score of 99,000 Pleasure Points. This combination awards you the minimum requirement (99% a complete person) to search for the Special Door - the Door to the Ultimate Experience - the heart of the Pleasure Dome.
