Garfield: Big, Fat, Hairy Deal/Walkthrough

You will first have to connect your Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64 or Commodore Amiga (and cassette recorder, in the case of the ZX, CPC, and C64 versions) to your television, then switch all three (or both, for the case of the Commodore Amiga version) of them on; you'll then have to place the cassette (or disk, for the Commodore Amiga version) of The Edge's Softek International-developed 1988 adventure game Garfield: Big, Fat, Hairy Deal into the cassette recorder (or the console itself, in the Commodore Amiga version), rewind it (unless it is your first time playing it), type LOAD "" (without leaving a space between the quotation marks), and press Enter to load the program into the console (or wait for it to load automatically, for the Commodore Amiga version). For the ZX version, you will then have to press 1 for keyboard control, 2 for Sinclair joystick control (if connected), 3 for Kempston joystick control (again, if connected), or 4 to redefine the keys - however, for the CPC version, only options 1, 3, and 4 are present, (so options 3 and 4 will be 2 and 3!). The C64 and Amiga versions are also joystick-only; however, on the former's title screen, you can press F1 and F3 to turn the music (which is, again, a remix of that then-new Film Roman television series' original theme!) and sound effects on and off. A solution for the game was published in Crash magazine in March 1989, and another one was published in Your Sinclair magazine four years later in April 1993.
