Mel Odius goes Six String Searchin' screenshots

The game's title screen follows the instructions, a warning that some themes may not be suitable for young or sensitive players, and advice to save often

The game starts by displaying a couple of screens of instructions, then comes the title screen and a couple of warnings

A new game is about to start, that means the game has to spell out the backstory which it does in a couple of screens

Here's Mel on the lookout for his guitar. He can talk to the character sitting by the wall.

This is a typical conversation screen. There are five are options that Mel can say to the guy but all the player needs to do is type the first couple of words

The game essentially scrolls left/right of the start screen with various locations appearing. Many are locked initially

Inside buildings, the game switches to first-person view. Kinda. These interior images seem to never take up the whole screen, unlike street scenes.

This guy won't let you into the bar, what to do?

Bathroom in another bar. Get a useful hint here.

In the US, when you're not 21 and a bouncer isn't letting you into a bar, you need a fake ID. Everyone knows that.

Meet Al Cohol, the forger. Guess what he's into.

Racist stereotype detected? Or was it just an attempt at a <i>Simpsons</i> reference?
