- Recently, Infocom has forgotten standard disk protection, and has begun to
- include props such as decoders, special maps, tickets, etc., relying on those
- devices to make it unpleasant or impossible for the software pirate to play
- their games. Well, an easy way around most of those protection schemes is to
- get some online documentation from someone who has the props.
- I like to do my part, so here's an account of the items you'll have to
- 8:etend you have when you play Ballyhoo:
-
- Items in the Package:
- ===== == === =======
-
- The balloon. The game comes with a small balloon, like you might get at the
- circus. It says, "The Travelling Circus That Time Forgot, Inc."
- The ticket. This is the ticket to the circus that you don't have at the start
- of the game... It has two perforated dots, one pink (for girls) and one
- blue (for boys) You must punch one or the other out to be let into the
- midway. Also, see the description of Rimshaw below.
- Dr. Nostrum's Extract flyer. This flyer outlines the uses of Dr. Nostrum's
- Extract. Here's what to do with the Extract, by disease:
- }4&5{{_}h{}i{ ** For Toothache -- Wet cotton with Dr. Nostrum's Extract and crowd into
- the cavity, or lay it around the roots of the aching tooth; also bathe the
- {}Z{ face over the tooth with Dr. Nostrum's.
- ** For Itch -- Lie on flannel wet with Dr. Nostrum's Extract.
- ** For Grippe and Catarrh -- Take two teaspoonfuls of Dr. Nostrum's Extract
- three times a day. Apply Dr. Nostrum's to all sore spots. Sleep indoors,
- preferably in bed, until the attack is broken.
- ** For Constipation, Diarrhea & Related Difficulties -- One teaspoonful of
- Dr. Nostrum's Extract three times a day, to be taken half an hour before
- meals. Eat simple food and then only when hungry. Take outdoor exercise, be
- regular in habits, and drink plenty of water.
- ** Sick Headache -- Headache is often due to indigestion. Keep as quiet as
- possible, clean out the intestinal canal with Dr. Nostrum's Extract, eat
- slow, and chew the food well.
- ** Sore Throat -- Put a piece of flannel around the throat wet with Dr.
- Nostrum's Extract. Do not leave on too long or blistering may occur.
- ** Pin Worms -- Round and pin worms are transmitted to the human body as
- Worm Eggs, swallowed in water, or in uncooked meat and vegetables. Treat
- with four tablespeoons of Dr. Nostrum's Extract six times a day. Dr.
- Nostrum's paralyzes the worm and makes it let go its hold.
