Tear out the rest of the pages and use them as toilet paper, (see pp 35, 72, and 108).

Or just pick up the Chain-gun and 40 boxes of ammo I found in DOOM, and go out and kill something?

They both have their individual joys. No-one can deny the aceness of Steve "Fatso" Jackson and Ian "Grand Theft Literature" Livingstones' top drawer work in print (particularly Jackson's 4 book set, and the original and best "Warlock of Firetop Mountain"), neither can you deny the asinine pleasures of Bored of The Rings for the Speccy.

Heeeelp!
I'm being atttacked by a pack of feral dogs on page 64, could someone please pass me the rope from page 83, the poisoned Kennomeat from page 20, or the gun from page 47?
Ahhhh! I think it might be too late for the Kennomeat, they're eating my legs already......for god's sake noooooooooooo....what page are the last rites on?

-- Sue Denim (s.denim@aoooool.net), June 12, 2002.

In order to get to page 64 you must have defeated the atomic robot from page 76, you can use the spring mechanism from the robots cold metal heart to beat the dogs to a savage death thus moving to page 154 to face the terrible, terrible MAKENZEE. Good Luck with that one.

-- Jarl'rmai (parkerj@edgehill.ac.uk), June 12, 2002.

Not THE Makenzee?
I think I'd rather be dogmeat. Thanks anyway.
OOooooh! Ouch! Mmmnnnnnnn! By gosh, that smarts!

-- Sue Denim (s.denim@aol.net), June 12, 2002.

The Makenzee? Then only one weapon will do. Jarl’rmai, pass me the cat from page 91!

Duke or Gonzo?

-- Jarl'rmai (parkerj@edgehill.ac.uk), June 12, 2002.

Both, please. With blue cheese dressing. But no black pepper.

-- Rex (rex@waitrose.com), June 12, 2002.

We're offended. We'd kill anything you could put in our way including Mackenzzzeeee.

-- Duke and Gonzo (the-cats@daymaker.freeserve.co.uk), June 12, 2002.

No you WOULDN'T. You'd be asleep you lazy bastards.

-- Matt (Matt@coastaltown.freeserve,co.uk), June 12, 2002.
