Narrow down six suspects by hats, glasses, and ties across 12 cases. Choose which statements to read; solve a case after reading no more than two for GOLD DETECTIVE.
W/S switches between statements and accusation. A/D selects a subject; RETURN opens a statement or accuses a suspect. Statement and suspect selections are remembered separately.
Directions work on the keyboard or pad; the pad button also acts as RETURN. SPACE opens confirmation to restart this stage. NO is selected initially. Choose with A/D, confirm with RETURN, or cancel with SPACE. Play pauses during confirmation. CTRL+C returns to BASIC.
Frames separate suspects and documents. Papers open through intermediate shapes with sound. Selection is clearly marked, and an accusation pauses with its target and result visible. Wait for the animation to finish before pressing again.
The three letters below a suspect describe hat, glasses, then tie: Y means present and N absent. Suspects contradicting an opened statement receive an X. Rereading a statement does not increase the number read.
