MY LIFE

Eugene was a popular teenager, the girls loved him and the
 boys wanted to be like him.
Over the years however, life has taken its toll on poor Eugene.
 His hair has done a runner and his waistline has expanded.
On top of that, his whole week revolves around a job he can’t 
stand and a boss who hates him.

Every weekday he wakes up early and makes his way to 
the office.  He hopes he can find his keys, his car will start
 and he doesn’t get a ticket from the evil security guards.

Can you help Eugene stomp his way through the week so 
he can finally get that Friday feeling and then have a nice 
long lie in?

LOADING

TAPE:  Insert tape and press SHIFT + RUN STOP.  Press PLAY on
 tape deck, the game will now load and run automatically.

DISK:  Insert disk and type LOAD"*",8,1 (RETURN).  Once loaded type RUN (RETURN).

Note: If you are running the game in the VICE emulator you will need to enable TRUE DRIVE EMULATION on the options menu in order for the disk version to load and run correctly.

THE GAME

Move Eugene through each day by collecting the items he needs 
in each location (bedroom, living room, street, car park, office
 reception and finally, his office).

Each item collected helps to complete a message which, once
 complete, allows Eugene to move onto the next location.

Items need to be stomped on a few times by holding the fire button. 
Once collected an extra letter will appear on the board at the top 
of the screen.

Once all items are collected the exit will open allowing you to leave 
the location.

The time remaining will be added to your score when you exit a location - so try to complete a screen as quickly as possible for a bigger bonus!

Avoid the inhabitants of each location and the projectiles they fire at
 you or you’ll end up losing all your lives and then it’s game over dude!

Each day is made up of several locations, can you make it all the
 way to Friday without losing all your lives?

It’s time to man up and get your head down ....
 That Friday feeling awaits.
