BESIDES needing the appropriate kit on an ADFS Electron, this review will
also be required if you already have a copy of the adventure game HOUSE -
IQGR for the BBC. It is intended not just to give the standardised opin-
ion but so too to document the game plus its conversion from the BBC. AND
to show how to patch up the bug hiding in it making it unplayable past a
certain location.
   The company "Bazzasoft" produced a good few BBC/Electron Public Domain
titles in the late Eighties and early Nineties [It was behind the "Bazza-
soft Filing System 2.34" demo in EUG #45 - Ed] with one of its more noted
releases being the Bazzasoft Adventure Programming System (B.A.P.S.). The
adventure HOUSE - IQGR was created on this system and runs in Mode 6 with
over 45 locations, lots of messages and numerous puzzles.
   The scene is London where you seem to have acquired a luxury detached
house just a road from Downing Street (occupied by Margaret Thatcher!).
However, one day your pride and joy, your BBC Micro, disappears from your
bedroom. With a few elements of PD game INSOMNIA, what is to follow as 
you navigate the house and its environs is a humorous if not a little
trippy jaunt featuring screaming wildly, leaping from high locations, 
visiting the funny farm and exchanging one item for another.
   Oh, yes, and don't forget an excess of murder. Each death you sustain
by a wrong move brims with sarcasm - yet beating your brother's guinea-
pig to a pulp, blowing up a whole location of people and observing a very
messy game of politics where Neil Kinnock seems to be doing his 'Hannibal
Lecter' are all excesses not for the weak-stomached!
   You immediately wonder about several of what could be called the 
politically incorrect aspects of HOUSE - IQGR. Several of its characters,
quite apart from Thatcher and Kinnock, are defamed to an extent by the
ensuing events. For example, footballer Terry Fennick is a drink-driver
and John Kirenan (IRA member), on request, whips up a DIY bomb. That
said, their notorious activities at the time of the game's writing [1992
- Ed] are certainly not celebrated and the black humour associated with
their appearance still works today! Some might say that, before the
internet took hold, PD was the true place for games that were a little
'risque'. What most will find really incredible though is that this game,
less than two years later, was carried by the mainstream Acorn disk of
THE MICRO USER Volume 12 Number 6!
   There are eight characters in total and, in a more fantastical sense,
Dot Cotton, Saddam Hussein and a vampire are all quickly discovered 
roaming weird locations; almost all of which are readily accessible 
right from the start. The text describing them, and the locations, is
well-written, free from spelling errors, nicely formatted and of a very
high standard. Take for example:
   "You hand the purple harmless iridescent butterfly to the insect-
collectologist, who puts it in a matchbox in an armoured suitcase in a
titanium safe which he welds closed and wraps up in clingfilm before
heading homewards."
   Definitely a big improvement on Scott Adams' "OK"! However, it's as
well to note that the parser on HOUSE - IQGR is not developed up to the
same grade. I was initially very frustrated to get endless "Sorry, you
can't do that..." messages when I tried to GET, TAKE, KILL, EAT, HIT a
GUINEA-PIG in one of the early locations. Because the message never 
changes, the parser seems very limited; in actual fact, GET and GIVE are
the only commands (apart from compass directions) you're likely to need
so if neither works, it's not a bug; it's just that you haven't found 
the solution involving that particular object.
   There is a bug in this game though, fortunately discovered and 
'patched' during the conversion to the Electron. Without wanting to give
anything else away (at least not until EUG publishes the solution!), it
occurs when you must use the DIY bomb. "That was probably a bad move,"
says the text as it explodes and you are arrested...
   However, instead of transporting you to a locked police cell, the BBC
version then prints "<undefined location>" and leaves you no alternative
but to QUIT. As it's now impossible to finish the game, it becomes
evident that THE MICRO USER probably didn't test this adventure much, if
at all! Luckily though, your EUG reviewer's fix has been included on the
EUG #53 disk version. On THE MICRO USER's original effort (and possibly
other PD versions), add the lines below to "HOUSEGM":
      120DEFPROClook:IF (1+R% MODMX)=2 AND (1+R% DIVMX)=7 THEN R%=R%-1
      121IF (1+R% MODMX)=1 AND (1+R% DIVMX)=7 THEN R%=R%-7
      122PROCform(2,DES$(1+R% MODMX,1+R% DIVMX)):M%=0:FOR S=1 TO OBJ:IF 
   ?(obc-1+S)=R% AND OBD$(S)<>"<undefined>" M%=M%+1

The BBC/Electron version on EUG #53, with this surgery, retains every-
thing (on both machines!) of the original apart from the bug. It also 
includes a lovely converted Mode 7 to Mode 1 loading screen specifically
coded to appear even with the 64K Elk's extra memory enabled.
   With the game itself, there are just two more little features that
require documentation. The first, a relatively minor point, is that when
giving an item, you must type GIVE <x> TO <y> <RETURN> as GIVE <x> alone
results in "Sorry, you can't do that...". The second is that there are
longish pauses between location and location while memory is accessed.
They aren't so long as to ruin the adventure though.
   With the bug fixed, this documentation by your side and the requisite
Acorn kit, you'll soon discover HOUSE - IQGR to be the very creme de la
creme of PD adventures. Despite the limited parser, the witty text and
simplicity of action will guide you through quite easily. It's of 
moderate difficulty - its title being an accurate description - and 
fluidly written. An almost perfect little adventure.
