Street Patroller

Street Patroller is a text adventure for the BBC Micro and Electron.

Paul I. Grace, the everyday street policeman, has been accused of being part of a conspiracy to steal the Royal jewels, and has been given only the three weeks by the police chief to solve the crime and clear his name. The adventure starts with the events leading up to the theft, and then include the player's quest to clear their name. The player must explore the streets of London as well as the surrounding countryside to try to bring the true thieves to justice.

All commands are via VERB NOUN entry. The player needs to sleep regularly during their adventure, and time passes with every turn used. There is an in-game hint system.
