Pettigrew's Diary

Pettigrew's Diary is an adventure game in 3 parts: The Burning Farmhouse, London Frolics, and European Trek.

The player is walking through the peaceful Oxfordshire countryside, when they smell burning. In The Burning Farmhouse, the player controls a blue cross within a burning building. The player must avoid deadly flames represented by red circles. The player can examine, open, and take items, and must escape with Pettigrew's Diary. This sends the player on a grand adventure through Europe in search of great treasure.

In London Frolics, the player enters a real time text adventure. Puzzles involve taking note of the time displayed at the top of the screen. The player must also watch their money, as they need 10 pounds a day to survive. The object is to find the clues in London using VERB NOUN commands. If the player meets the right people they gain the clues to travel to Europe.

Finally in European Trek, the player must best a number of mini-games. The player must talk down a depressed Frenchman from the Eiffel Tower by quikly typing sentences, must solve a German barber puzzle, carefully choose a path in the Italian Alps, hunt for red rubies in a maze, pass through the Gates of Wi, and ultimately pull a sword from a stone.
