PARK PATROL
Firebird Silver Range


THE GAME
There is trouble down at Papatoetoe Park; the old keeper Percy Nutting
has had a nervous breakdown and the place has gone to the dogs! You
are invited to take up the challenge of becoming the new man or woman
(that's up to you) in charge of the park. As Park Ranger you will be
equipped with a raft, snake repellent, and a few morsels of nourishment.
To task is to clear up the litter, watch for swimmers in distress and
keep the park wildlife in line.
Papatoetoe Park, though, is no place for wimps, and is full of hazards
such as swamps, snakes and swimmers who will sink your raft, river
logs and food stealing ants!
Lastly, rangers may savour the fruit of a mysterious plant, located
near the supply hut, and experience its strange effects.
Keep up your calories and move on out!
