Cutthroats solve by:Green Manalishi
Edited slightly by The Slipped Disk
:----------------------------------------------------------------------------:
This is probably the best Infocom text adventure yet, don't ruin you're
adventure by cheating with this sheet, just use this in emergencies!
Note: These are the commands needed to solve the leviathan ver. of the game
characters: The diver (you) - supposedly an expert diver, who, just like
everyone else on the island is waiting for his ship to come in..
Johnny Red - The pirate leader. proud, but not a backstabber, makes a good
leader on the quest.
Pete the Rat - The cook on the ship, one-eyed and fairly trustworthy also.
The Weasel - The name says it all, works in a plot to reap the benefits of the
expedition all by himself. Little backstabber.
McGinty - The owner of McGinty's Salvage. Disgusting habits, selfish and
unsure.. 'asshole'
Other characters - just fill in the other needed roles, can be asked
questions, but don't always answer...
-Get yourself a copy of the docs. re-written by the i.c. of trade
now onto the solve!
2nd note: many things are random in this game, just follow the solve
