(February 1992)       Willy Beamish Problem & Hints
                      =============================


   1 ... Carbuncle School

Problem:
How do I get out of class?

Hint:
Eventually, Ms. Glass will fall asleep, then  you can sneak out of class. Don't
try to leave before she conks out, and  make sure she doesn't find out you have
a frog in your backpack. If Ms. Glass catches you for either of these offenses,
you will get sent to the principal's office.

Problem:
How do I get by Coach Beltz?

Hint:
You  can make  a hall  pass that  will fool  Coach Beltz  from the items inside
Willy's desk. Combine  the white crayon with the  piece of wood and show  it to
Coach Beltz when he asks you for it.

Problem:
How do I avoid getting beat up by Spider?

Hint:
To avoid getting mauled by Spider in the bathroom, choose the dialog response 2
when he asks you  to give him something from your backpack.  Then give him your
Game Buddy.

Problem:
I've been sent to Principal Frick's office! What do I do?

Hint:
The first time you get sent  to Principal Frick's office choose dialog response
1. Then give him  back his toupee. Try not to get in  trouble again, if you are
sent to  Principal Frick's office  too many times  you will end  up in military
school.

   2 ... The Beamish House

Problem:
Who is this Ghost Beamish character?

Hint:
Ghost  Beamish is  the spirit  of Willy's  Grandfather. He  provides Willy with
helpful information  and guidance throughout  the game. Ghost  Beamish provides
the first  warning that something foul  is afoot in the  fair city of Frumpton.
Most of the time it is a good idea  to listen to what Ghost Beamish has to tell
you.

Problem:
Help! I keep getting sent to military school!

Hint:
When you get a warning from Gordon or  Sheila to do something, you have a short
amount  of time  to do  it before  the trouble  meter begins  to climb into the
danger zone. If Willy ignores his  parents or misbehaves too frequently he will
get sent to military school. Promptly doing  what you are told and common sense
will keep you out of trouble for the most part.

Problem:
What do I do about the mail?

Hint:
You are better off leaving your report card in the mail slot. If you get caught
trying to hide Willy's report card from Gordon and Sheila, military school will
be the inevitable result.

Problem:
What do I do if I cut my thumb?

Hint:
If you cut your  thumb while slicing veggies in the kitchen,  you need to go to
the upstairs bathroom and use the first-aid kit in the cupboard. Make sure that
you put both  iodine and band-aid on it.  If you don't take care  of the cut it
will become infected and you won't be able to win the Nintari Championships.

Problem:
How can I get my Nintari Key away from Tiffany?

Hint:
There are  two ways to  get the Nintari  Key away from  Tiffany. You can either
take her diary and  blackmail her with it in her bedroom  or you can drop Horny
on her  when she is in  the bathtub after dinner  on day 1. Make  sure that you
practice Nintari at least once or you can't win the championships at the end of
the game.

Problem:
How do I get away from the baby-sitter from hell?

Hint:
Once the baby sitter from hell goes batty, you only have a short amount of time
to act.  Go upstairs to  the bathroom  and  get Tiffany's hairspray  out of the
cupboard. Then spray  the bat with the hairspray; this  will give you more time
to complete the puzzle. Next, go to Brianna's room and take the mouse away from
the cat. After  you have the mouse, go  back downstairs to the living  room and
jump behind the  sofa. Place the mouse on the  coffee table and when Alicia-bat
pounces on it, use the vacuum cleaner to suck her up.

Problem:
What should I do with Duffy?

Hint:
You need  to feed Duffy  whenever he is  hungry and walk  him regularly. If you
don't take  good enough care  of Duffy, he  will get you  into trouble. If  you
neglect him he will run away and the game is over.

Problem:
How do I deal with Brianna?

Hint:
If you  play with Brianna  on the swings  in the back  yard, choose the  second
dialog response  when she asks  you to push  her higher. If  you send her  into
orbit you  may as well pack  your bags for military  school. Picking Brianna up
when she falls off her bed after dinner on the first day will make your trouble
meter go down.

Problem:
What do I have to do to get some money?

Hint:
There  are two  ways for  Willy to  earn money  at the  Beamish Home. The first
chance is to mow  the lawn after dinner on day 1.  The second opportunity is to
wash the Grange Rover after breakfast on day 2.

   3 ... Willy's Neighborhood

Problem:
What do I in the tree fort on day 2?

Hint:
Tree Fort Headquarters is where Willy likes  to hang out with his friends, Dana
and Perry. On day 2 you need to make sure that you get the Biffo Man comic book
from the  tree fort. You  can also trade  Perry for the  Mickey Morris baseball
card if you have Tiffany's diary, but this is not crucial to solving the game.

Problem:
How about the tree fort after Day 2?

Hint:
After day 2 you  can convince Dana to enter Gigi in  the Tootsweet frog jump if
you give her  a T-shirt from the OK  T-shirt Kiosk in Olde Towne.  On day 3 you
can get a jar of fire ants in the tree fort.

Problem:
What do I do at Sloeffer Park?

Hint:
Sloeffer  park is  the perfect  place for   Horny to  get in  a little  jumping
practice. If you really want to see Horny leap, buy a can of Slam Dunk from the
vendor in the park and give him a  swig. You should also check out what happens
when you feed Horny the flies and the fire ants.

   4 ... Olde Towne

Problem:
I can't get past the Bully in the Slice of Life Pizza rest room!

Hint:
A little  skullduggery is called for  here. Take the "No  Smoking" sign off the
wall near the  sink and throw it in  the trash can. When Spider  comes in, give
him the Biffo Man comic book you got  at the tree fort. Spider will have a real
blast with it.

Problem:
What do I do at the OK T-shirt Kiosk?

Hint:
If you  bought a photo  in the Slice  of Life pizzeria  and did your  chores at
home, you  will be able  to purchase a  T-shirt here. Slide  the kiosk vendor 5
bucks and the photo and you'll be the proud owner of a shirt guaranteed to last
1,000 washings.

Problem:
How do I get to West Frumpton?

Hint:
You can't take  the ferry to west Frumpton  until day 3 because Gus  has run it
aground on a sand bar. Once the ferry is operational, you can pay for your fare
with  a ferry  token from  the Harry  Humpford Memorial  Fountain or  trade the
Mickey Morris baseball card for a ride.

Problem:
I'm at the fountain. What can I do here?

Hint:
You can  find a ferry  token to pay  for your passage  to West Frumpton  in the
fountain.  Make sure  that you  only take  one. The  local gendarmes don't take
kindly to people messing in the fountain.

   5 ... East Frumpton/Humpford Mansion

Problem:
How do I get to the Humpford Mansion?

Hint:
You need to  win the frog jump on  day four before you can  get to the Humpford
Mansion. One of the prizes you will win is a jet-ski which you can then ride to
Humpford Mansion.

Problem:
How do I get past Arthur the parrot?

Hint:
Arthur is a  very sensitive and repressed bird,  so you must be careful  not to
ruffle his feathers. Try the following dialog responses: 1, 2, 1, 2.

Problem:
Can I do anything with this suit of armor?

Hint:
The suit of armor is precariously balanced and will crash to the ground noisily
if you don't cushion its fall. Get  the quilted tablecloth from the dining room
and place it near  the feet of the suit of armor  before knocking it over. Take
the helmet and the piece of paper you find inside the armor.

Problem:
What do I do in the Humpford Mansion dining room?

Hint:
Leona  and Louis  are just  in the  next room  so you  need to move quickly and
quietly. Grab  the brass chalice  on the table  and set it  on the floor. Then,
pull the tablecloth off. Take the chalice  with you when you leave. If you want
to check up on Louis and Leona in  the Big Game Room you can use the magnifying
class to get a closer look. Don't go in there - you'll get caught.

Problem:
How do I save the frogs?

Hint:
First,  you need  to throw  the brass   chalice from  the dining  room at  Chef
Childish to distract her. Sneak over behind the large cauldron. After you reach
the cauldron,  grab the saucepan and  dump the sauteed butter  just behind Chef
Childish. Scoot  the cauldron closer  to her.  Go  back to the  entrance to the
kitchen where  you started and jump  onto the frog conveyor.  When the conveyor
brings you  around, this will  startle Chef Childish  and she'll fall  into the
cauldron  and start  yelling. Stifle  her screams  by stuffing  her head in the
helmet  from the  suit of  armor. As  soon as  Chef Childish  is taken care of,
release the  frogs by pressing the  stop button on the  conveyor control panel.
Then get the heck  out of there. You will still get  caught by Louis and Leona,
but the frogs you just rescued will repay the favor by saving you.

   5 ... East Frumpton/Humpford Mansion

Problem:
How do I get inside the Plumbers' Union?

Hint:
You can't get inside  Local 409 until day 4 but you  can listen to Louis Stoole
address the plumbers rally on day 3. On day 4 you can sneak into Louis Stoole's
office by climbing through the window.

Problem:
What do I do in Louis Stoole's office?

Hint:
After you are in his office for  a short time, Louis will come crashing through
the door. Pick up  the plunger near the desk and throw  it at Louis' face. This
will only  hold him for  a short time.  Pick up the  security pass to  Humpford
Sludgeworks on the desk and make a break for it.

Problem:
How do I handle the Cripes Gang outside the Golden Bowl?

Hint:
Except for throwing you the wrench, Ray  isn't going to help you here. Take the
smoke bomb the Japanese  tourists gave to you on the ferry  and throw it at the
Cripes. Then use the monkey wrench to open the fire hydrant and spray them with
water. After you've doused the gang, run to Tootsweet where you will again find
the Japanese tourists.

Problem:
How do I get in the Golden Bowl Bar?

Hint:
Ray's astrology fetish can be used to help  you get in the Golden Bowl, but you
have to win the frog jump contest  first. You need the radio/tape recorder from
the jet-ski you won  at the frog jump to help you  solve this puzzle. After you
get the tape deck from the jet-ski, go to the phone booth!ˇutside the plumbers'
union. Put the  phond∞receiver on top of the  radio/tape recorder. Press record
and dial  432-7446 to tape  the phone conversation  with Alyssa. Then  call the
Golden Bowl and ask for Ray. When he gets on the line, play the recording. When
you return to the Golden Bowl, Ray will  be inside on the phone and you can get
in.

Problem:
What do I do inside the Golden Bowl?

Hint:
Poor Burt doesn't have a lottery ticket. Give him the one from the machine next
to the OK T-shirt Kiosk. He'll let you stay and watch the drawing. Take a nudie
calendar from the pile on top of the bar before you leave the bar.

   7 ... Tootsweet/Frog Jump Contest

Problem:
Where do I get an entry blank for the Frog Jump Contest?

Hint:
You can pick  up an entry blank for  the Frog Jump at the  booth outside of the
Tootsweet Building on day 3.

Problem:
Can the Japanese tourists help me against the Cripes Gang?

Hint:
If  you make  it to  Tootsweet while  being chased  by the  Cripes, talk to the
Japanese tourists. They will come to your aid. Choose dialog response #1.

Problem:
How can I win the Tootsweet Frog Jump Contest?

Hint:
Horny can't beat Turbofrog  head to head in the jumping contest  so you have to
stack the odds in  your favor a bit. Place the jar  of flies near Turbofrog, he
will eat them and  fall asleep. Don't feed the flies directly  to Turbo or give
Horny the Slam dunk Cola. Both of  theses actions will get you disqualified. If
Gigi is at the contest, Horny will jump better.

Problem:
How do I escape the Tootsweet security guard?

Hint:
You need to combine the Nintari Key with  the GI Jim dog tags and hypnotize the
guard. The correct  hypnotic phrase can be found inside  Dr. Jeckle's ad inside
Willy's Meed Notebooklet, included with your game.

   8 ... Humpford Sludgeworks

Problem:
How can I get by the striking Plumbers?

Hint:
Being the red-blooded  blue-collar men that they are, you  can easily get their
attention with the nudie calendar from the Golden Bowl Bar.

Problem:
How do I get into the sludgeworks?

Hint:
To  get inside  the sludgeworks,  you need  to give  the guard  at the gate the
security pass  you got from Louis  Stoole's office in the  Plumber's Union. The
guard will still sound the alarm after you get inside, so don't waste any time.

Problem:
How do I operate the bridge?

Hint:
You will  need the plans  for the sludgeworks  you got from  inside the suit of
armor  at the  Humpford Mansion  to solve  this puzzle.  The correct color code
sequence to  activate the bridge control  lever is listed in  the margin of the
map. Enter the four part code from the  map: you'll know you have it right when
the small  light over the control  lever turns green. After  you've entered the
correct code, wait  until the guards start to cross  the bridge, then throw the
lever.

Problem:
What do I do in the Duct Control Center?

Hint:
Time is of the essence, if you don't hurry you'll buy the farm. Type "AIR" into
the control panel, then wait for the  guards to appear. When they do, press the
enter  button on  the control  panel to  blow them  off the  catwalk. Then type
"TRAM" and press enter to go to the Tub Tray Tram Room.

Problem:
How can I escape from Stanley in the Tub Tray Tram Room?

Hint:
Stay in the  middle of the tramwalk until  Stanley throws his hat at  you. Make
sure you duck when he tries to hit  you. When Stanley's hat lands at the end of
the conveyor, go pick  it up. Throw it at him from the  end of the tram - don't
run  back to  the middle.  When Stanley's  body gets  plunged, run  back to the
middle of the  conveyor and jump on the  piston that's sticking up on  the left
side of the tramwalk.

Problem:
Help! I keep getting lost in the Tub Tray Tram Tunnels!

Hint:
The  blueprints from  the Humpford  Mansion are   a map  of the  Tub Tray  Tram
Tunnels. The toilet  icon near the center of  the map is where you  want to end
up.  When you  jump into  the tram  you will  automatically be  taken to  Grand
Junction,  then you  need to  use the  map. From  Grand Junction  go forward to
Conjunction Junction,  theJ`pake a  RIGHT. When you  reach Compunction Junction
take a LEFT and go straight  through Malfunction Junction, continuing until you
reach Petticoat Junction. Take a LEFT at Petticoat Junction. This will lead you
to the final climactic confrontation with  your arch-enemies Leona and Louis at
the Hot Sludge Vat.

Problem:
How do I rescue Gordon?

Hint:
You finally get  to use the yo-yo Willy  has being carrying. Drop the  yo-yo on
Willy. Leona  and Louis will  start running towards  you on the  rim of the Hot
Sludge Vat. When they  stop to laugh, throw the yo-yo at  them. This will knock
them into  the goop. Be  sure to flush  the main colitis  valve after you knock
them in.
