Overview

Jeffrey Archer: Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less - The Computer Game is an interactive fiction game based on the novel of the same name by Jeffrey Archer. The BBC Micro version is a text-only adaptation, without any illustrations, focusing purely on the narrative and puzzle-solving aspects. The story centers on four characters—three Englishmen and one American—who have been defrauded of their savings. Players assume the role of Stephen Bradley, one of the four, as they attempt to recover their money by outwitting the original con artist. The game follows the novel's plot closely and incorporates puzzles that must be solved to progress. Unlike traditional interactive fiction games, players cannot navigate freely between locations using directional commands; all puzzles in a given location must be resolved before proceeding. Missing essential items can lead to dead ends, and the game provides no explicit hints about objectives, relying on players’ familiarity with the book, which is included with the game.
