G ARGANTUA, the super-computer that con-

trols communications and transport inmost of the developed world, has gone

haywire. Dr Ben Eischrank, the comput-er's inventor and guardian, was carrying out routine

maintenance when a freak electric shock hit him.

Now the world is plunged into chaos. Only you,Eischrank's trusted assistant, can restore the com-

puter to normality. But there is a problem. The doc-tor was so insanely jealous of anyone touching hisinvention that he guarded it with a fiendishly intricatesystem of enigmas to prevent unauthorized access.

Can you penetrate this mental maze and save theworld? The solution to each puzzle will tell which youshould tackle next. When you have worked your way

around the maze you will receive a code number

which allows access to the computer. But hurry, for

as you work a video screen on the laboratory wall

shows the devastation which is sweeping the earth.Planes plunge from the sky, whole cities are blackedout, panic and devastation are spreading like theplague. Don't delay, begin now! It is vital that youwrite down the number of every puzzle you completein the order in which you complete it.
