TEA-LEAF TED (MAN VERSION)
THE GAME
This is an action arcade/platform game for Spectrum 48K (without music)/128K (with AY music) made using Arcade Game Designer 4.7 and AGDMusicizer II.
The main character - the player - is Ted Lightfingers, a novice thief.
He loves to get every coin he can, but the Police don't agree with him and if they lay their hands on him, he's arrested.
But he isn't the only one who loves coins. The crooks and the gold digger chicks love it too, and when they pass by Ted, the crooks stab and steal him and the girls just take some of his coins.
His room mission is to picking all the coins and then the location of the door key is revealed. After that, he has to get the key and go to the door to enter another room.
PLAYING THE GAME
The game has 24 playable rooms.
In each room Ted
has to pick all the coins so the location of the door key is revealed.
Each coin makes
Ted scores.

In some rooms
Ted has to activate levers to reach some places.
In the last
screen, his girlfriend Sheila is waiting for him in her motorcycle for they run
away together with the money.
