Geordie Racer challenge 7.png

At the start of this challenge, Wordy will appear in the top-left corner of the screen and say "You are a super Baz-beater. You have been chosen to take part in the Great North Run. It is 21 kilometres, or about 13 miles, from Newcastle to South Shields. You must get ready for the run."; you will then have to press Space to continue, and once you have done so, the screen will cut to an overhead map of Newcastle's Metro system on which your position is indicated by a yellow-and-red concentric circle (the text "Before you go to the start of the run you need to collect some things." will also appear, at the bottom of the screen). Once you've pushed Space to continue again the text "You need: running shoes, money, your race number, a kiss from Mam, a metro ticket, foot cream." will appear at the bottom of the screen - and once you have pressed Space to continue for a third time, the text "You can travel to different metro stations to collect the things you need." shall appear, at the bottom of the screen. Once you have pressed Space to continue yet again the text "Where do you want to go?" shall appear at the bottom of the screen; if you choose anywhere except Ticket office the game will say "You must travel on the Metro train." so you shall have to go there first (and once you have done so, the concentric circle will move up onto the map as the text "You have just enough money for a ticket." appears at the bottom of the screen). Once you have pushed Space to continue, the text "Where next?" will appear at the bottom of the screen - and if you choose either Shoe shop, Bank or Chemist at this point, the game will say "Sorry, not open yet.", and if you choose Start of run or Home it will say "You haven't got all you need yet." and "Mam's not ready to kiss you yet." respectively, so you will have to choose Run office (and once you have done so, the text "Good. Here is your race number: 8317" will appear at the bottom of the screen). Once you have pressed Space to continue, you will have to choose Bank; once you have done so, the game will ask you "How much money would you like?" with two options, £15 and £20, below it (neither one is wrong as such, but if you choose the former, it will cause the Chemist to close early). For those of you who chose £20, you'll have to choose Chemist after pressing Space to continue (and, once you've done so, the text "Foot cream? £5 please. Thank you." shall appear at the bottom of the screen) - however, for those of you who chose £15, the text "The chemist is closed now." will appear instead if you choose to go there now. Once you've pushed Space to continue, you shall have to choose Shoe shop regardless of how you answered the money question (and once you've done so, the text "Running shoes? £15 please. Thank you." shall appear at the bottom of the screen); once you have pressed Space to continue, you shall have to choose Home (and if you chose £20 earlier, the text "Mam gives you a good luck kiss. You have everything you need." will appear at the bottom of the screen, but if you chose £15, the text of "Thank goodness Mam has some foot cream. She gives you a good luck kiss." will appear instead). Once you've pressed Space to continue, you will have to choose Start of run - and once you do so the game will ask you "What is your race number, please?" as a cursor flashes below it. Once you have typed in 8317, it will answer "Good, you may join the run."; once you have pressed Space to continue, the game shall proceed to the eighth challenge (which is The Great North Run itself).
