===============================================================================
01.) INTRODUCTION G0100
===============================================================================
Welcome to 'Tass Times in Tonetown' for the PC, a text adventure released in
1986 by Interplay. It was also released on the Amiga, Apple II, Atari ST and
Commodore 64.
Suggestions, comments or errors - email me about it. Enjoy!
===============================================================================
02.) BASICS G0200
===============================================================================
The game is mainly played with the command input, but a mouse or joystick can
be used for some aspects. Refer to the game's manual for more details if you
wish to use these extra input options. This walkthrough uses commands only
to finish the game. Each command is written with > at the beginning but you
do not need to type this character, nor care about capitalization of the
sentences as they will all be written in UPPER CASE anyway.
Shortcuts and Save/Load:
````````````````````````
F1 Save Game
F2 Load Game
F3 Repeat last command
F4 Tell me about
F5 Drop
F6 Get all
F7 Quicksave
F8 Quickload
F9 Talk to
F10 Look at
Press ENTER to switch between the command only display and the colorful
interface plus location and inventory images.
Commands:
`````````
Get: Use this to place items that you want or think you may need in your
inventory.
Drop: The opposite of the Get icon, this removes items from your inventory.
Hit: When nothing but force will do, click on this to strike a blow to another
character or to an object then click on the poor creature or thing you
want to hit or type its name from the keyboard.
Look at: Click on this for a detailed description of someone or something that
interests you, then click on the object of your interest or type its
name from the keyboard.
Talk to: Use this icon to start a conversation with some body, then click on
the person you want to talk to or type his other name from the
keyboard if you know it.
Talk to: Use this icon to start a conversation with some body, then click on
the person you want to talk to or type his other name from the
keyboard if you know it.
Tell me about: Once you're involved in a conversation with someone, you can ask
him or her to tell you about - well, anything or anybody you see
(or have seen) on the screen.
Enter: Click on this to go through a door, into a build ing, or wherever you
want to go.
Move around with the N, S, E, W commands or use the directional keys instead.
The latter is more convenient as it does not require pressing 'Enter' to
confirm the command.
There are two walkthroughs below. The first is a basic command-only input which
leaves you with little spoilers but might make it more confusing of what is
going on. Use it if you feel comfortable with the game and do not want to know
anything about the story beforehand. The detailed walkthrough contains all the
messages within the game and will greatly help you to know where you should be
at while following the guide.

mysterious hoop. Spot leaps up with a glance over his shoulder, lets loose a
little yip as he leaps through the hoop in a burst of bright sparks!
>Enter Hoop
You get dizzy fir a moment, then find yourself in another place.
You're in a dirt-filled construction site. A trench running north and south
starts here. It appears to be dug by unconventional means -- the walls of it
are smooth.

building.

feathers in her intense pink hair emerges from the crowd near the bandstand
and smiles sweetly at you.

finally get to Snarl be sure to "sic" Ennion on him."

on the wall. Ennio appears very nervous.

The waitress has seated you at a boot and waits to take your order. From where
you sit, you can see Fast Freddie's is really hopping. There are dancers
whirling around on the dance floor, people eating and chatting at various
booths along the walls, while rock music blasts out across the room. There is
a small sign on the wall in your booth.
You see mitts.
>Buy Burger
The waitress says, "You should try a Fizzie with that." And then she brings you
a Glo burger and places it on the table. The waitress asks, "And what will you

>N
>N
>W
>D
Ennio hops onto your back, and you grab handholds and slowly step downwards,
rung by rung, into the inky blackness.
The Glo burger is starting to flicker.
You're at the bottom of a well. Off to the west, a doorway is carved into a
smooth, stone wall, heading off into a gloomy, barely lit tunnel.
>W
You're in a small cavern, before a wall of cages containing wild, terrifying
animals. To the west, a dimly lit tunnel heads into the blackness. To the east,
light filters down from above. A Philbert stands here, guarind the cages. Ennio
sniffs cautiously at the Philbert.
>W
You're at the southern end of a tunnel. Off to the east you can see a hole in
the cave wall, while the tunnel branches off to the north. On the cave wall is
a button with a small plaque over it.

standing by a hollow tree. To the north you can see more lawn. A brick wall is
to the south.

but the west. To the west is a wing of Snarl's house.

gate in the brick wall to the east can be easily seen. The lawn continues to
the north and the south.

>E
>E
>S

in your hands, but you manage to put it in the jar. You get a jar with a devil
in it.
>S
>E
>E
>E
You're near the northern end of along flowing river. Straight ahead looms a
magnificent waterfall, pouring down into the river. A passable shoreline starts
up to the east.
>N
You're at the northern end of a long flowing river. Straight ahead looms a
magnificent waterfall, pouring down into the river, almost deafening you.
>E
You climb up an embankment to another stretch of shoreline. A high wire fence
is to your right.
>N
You're on a high shoreline of a lake. To the east is a barbed wire fence
through which you can see mile after mile of plain houses, all the same. A path
travels to the north and south, bordering and fence and the water. To the west,
the lake looks treacherous as a waterfall crashes down to the south.
>N
You're at the entrance of Ennui Estates. Beyond, to the east, you can see what
could only be millions of identical picket fences surrounding identical white
clapboard houses. To the west is the lake and a small landing. A small rowboat
is moored there.
>Enter Boat
Ennio hops into the boat right behind you.
>W
You're floating in the boat. The current to the north seems to push you to the
south a bit. To the south, a waterfall rars as millions of gallons of water
pound a hundred meters below.
>S
>W
You're on a section of the lake directly south of a landing for the Island of
the Tower. The current to the west is rather strong.
>N
Before you lies the entrance to the Tower. To the east and west is a heavily
bouldered area. Your boat is moored to the south.
>N
You're inside a chrome, glass and steel office complex, an antiseptic and empty
tower. An elevator sits off to the west, its door open.
>W
You're in a small elevator. Before you are four buttons, mounted on a plaque.
There is a slot beside a top, fifth button.
>Insert Card
You insert the card into the slot.
>Push Button 5
You feel a slight movement as the elevator starts and then stops again.
>E
"Great to see you, Whippasnappa! Get these cuffs off me!" Gramps says. You are
in a vast penthouse. Ennio sits by Gramps's feet and yaps, "Alright, old timer.
Lets bolt outta here.
>Hit Chain With Zagtone
The cuffs sping open!
>W
>Push Button 1
>E
>S
Gramps motions towards the boat and yells, "Come on! Time's a wastin'! That
Snarly thing is going ta upset the whole space-time continuim if'n we don't get
to his lab soon!"
>Enter Boat
Ennio hops into the boat right behind you. Gramps slides into the boat, too.
>S
>W
You fight your way across the current to the west and manage to land the small
boat. You, Gramps and Ennio leap to the shore. Before you can tie up the boat,
the current pulls it out into the lake, far out of reach.
>W
>W
>S
>Take Book
You got the book.
>N
>Open Gate
The gate creaks open in the dim light.
>W
>W
"Be very very careful, now. That Snarl is an extremely tough cookie!" Gramps
wanrs. "You said it, buster!" Ennio says.
>W
You're in the house of Franklin Snarl. The place smells of old things, best
left unnaed. Even in your light the place seems dim and dingy. You can hear
crackling coming through the doorway to your north. Ennio says, "I smell
Snarlmeat".
>N
Franklin Snarl attacks Gramps, and they roll about on the floor of the lab. It
looks bad for Gramps. You're in the laboratory belonging to Franklin Snarl. It
looks oddily similar to the lab in Gramp's house, though it's a much smaller
version. A hoop buzzes and crackles in the corner. Franklin Snarl is here!
Ennio growls at Snarl.
>Sic Ennio On Snarl
Ennio corners Snarl and growls like a fighting tiger, holding him at bay. You
now know that the legend of Ennio was well-founded -- he is fearless!
"Gimme my lab book, youngster!" Gramps shouts. "I need something from the first
few pages."
>Open Jar
Since Ennio has him cornered, the lightning seems to home in on him and stuns
the creature. "Gimme my lab book, youngster!" Gramps shouts. "I need something
from the first few pages."
>Give Book To Gramps
Gramps grabs the book and immediately sets to fixing the hoop. In a few short
seconds , he's done! "Let's get that Snarlburger through the hoop! And Fast!"
>Throw Snarl Into Hoop
You manage to push Franklin Snarl through the hoop! A great sizzling, as if
bacon frying, accompanies his passing through to the other side. You and Gramps
wave to each other and you bend down to pat Ennio's head. "So long,
Whippasnappa," Gramps shouts, waving to you. "You keep the cabin and come
visit me soon. I'll be right heyah in Tonetown, waiting'!" And with that,
everything twists and turns -- your knees buckle and you find yourself on the
road a mile or so north of Gramps's cabin. Sitting by the side of the road is
a cute little pig, a darling raccoon, and a little crocodile shedding a few
tears.
It seems that the game ended.
