The 'O' Level Caper

The 'O' Level Caper is a 1-player arcade and text adventure combination for the VIC-20.

Contains two separate games spread over 2 cassettes with a text adventure and arcade component.

In the arcade component, the player controls a character who moves laterally, jumps, and climbs ladders between platforms. The player must avoid or jump over barrels thrown from above that roll along platforms and down ladders. The goal is to collect all items present on the platform while avoiding dangers. The player has 3 lives, and proceeds to a more difficult level when all items are collected. After completing the first level, the player receives a pass code needed to play the text adventure.

In the text adventure component, the player tries to invade the local university. Multiple rooms of the university offer puzzles for the player to solve. The player can pick up and use items, and has limited inventory. All commands are via VERB NOUN entry. There is no save/restore feature.
