"ARMED & DELIRIOUS"

WALKTHRU's

(Also entitled "Dementia" and originally "Granny")

Len Green :- 19 Sept. 1997. {updated; 2 July '00} <lengreen@hotmail.com>

This game is both totally zany and quite complex.

Some players may wish to play it completely without ANY assistance from Walkthru's, cheat-sheets, hints, or help from anybody.

Others may want minimal help &/or hints. These players should use the "Bare-Bones Walkthru".

Some may want a complete description of what to do for whenever they need it during the game. These players should use the "Full Walkthru". This latter contains not only the actions you MUST perform, but also a few which are not essential for finishing the game but provide a lot of incidental fun !

Both walkthru's have been arranged with identically numbered sections. In this way, anyone who chooses the "Bare-Bones Walkthru" and gets really stuck (or frustrated) need only go to the same numbered section in the "Full Walkthru" to get over the obstacle !

Some players like to have printed walkthru's (complete, or just excerpts of trouble-spots) for ease of use, and so as not to have to exit the game at all if any problems arise. Each walkthru was written in WinWord-6 (.Doc) format and utilizes several colors for extra clarity. Both have been designed so that in addition to a color printer, they can also be printed perfectly comprehensibly on a black and white printer. Two versions are available :- one in 14 point for very comfortable reading, and the other in 10 point which nearly halves the pages of hard copy (but, being smaller, is much more difficult to read) --- There is also a (converted) version in 14 point HTML.

H A V E F U N W I T H "G R A N N Y "!!

"Disclaimer" These walkthru's were made before the game was officially released, and corrections/alterations have doubtless been made since then ( 4th July '00. I haven't noticed any in the final commercial version ! ). These may lead to discrepancies re the final version -- probably only minor ones.

"BARE-BONES" - WALKTHRU

Len Green :- 19 Sept. 1997. {updated; 2 July '00} <lengreen@hotmail.com>

With grateful appreciation to Eyal Kaduri who made the excellent original version upon which this was (almost completely) based ; to Tom Feiner for advice & help; and to other members of "Makh-shevet" for their assistance.

INTRODUCTION.

"Armed & Delirious (Dementia)" is a unique Quest/Adventure Game from several points of view and well worth the effort of playing through to its conclusion. It is almost completely 'open-ended' and there are six Main-Worlds to explore (almost all containing many Sub-Worlds). "Armed & Delirious", as its name infers, is pretty wacky, and hence somewhat difficult for all us sane (??) gamers to follow! Anybody who manages to do so absolutely 100% without ANY walkthru, cheat-sheet, hints, or help from anybody REALLY deserves a prize --- maybe the Distributors will send you one ...... haha !?!?!?!? But some lesser mortals may want just a little (or maybe quite a lot of) assistance. To that end there are TWO walkthru's :-

For very experienced Quest players who only need a small amount of help here and there, there is the "Bare-Bones Walkthru". This walkthru tells you the BEST order in which to proceed without having to revisit Worlds and Sub-Worlds any more than essential (and saves quite a bit of time since they are spread over the five CD-Rom's, which have to be changed frequently). It also tells you all the inventory items you must collect at each site (and there are several dozen altogether). However, it does NOT tell you how or exactly where to get them or (in any way) how or where to use them, so it doesn't completely rob you of the satisfaction of 'doing your own thing'! If, at a particular site, you are still stuck (and there are several pretty tricky places like this), and you haven't got the time or patience to solve the problem yourself, you can always go to the identical numbered section of the "Full Walkthru" which tells you in clear detail exactly what to do.

If, however, you do not wish to play the game completely without any assistance, nor even 'waste time' with the "Bare-Bones Walkthru", there is the "Full Walkthru" which is a VERY greatly amplified version and which tells you everything you need to do (and more !! --- and in extremely great detail).

IMPORTANT NOTE :- You can of course visit all the Worlds and Sub-Worlds in ANY order you choose. You can always move ahead, but generally only up to a certain limited point, since you are probably missing an essential item you need from somewhere else. So you often have to do quite a lot of superfluous 'going backwards and forwards' (you have to do quite a lot of this anyhow, even using either walkthru !).

However, if you stick exclusively to either walkthru, you will definitely be able to finish the game, and via the 'most efficient path' : But, you will miss quite a large number of comic antics and a lot of amusing dialogue --- these frequently are of a partially random nature and hence do not necessarily repeat themselves identically each time, but often vary according to your previous actions (and those of Granny !). So feel free to 'go your own way' !

It's worth mentioning that even these two walkthru's are not the VERY minimum you need to do in order to finish the game. At many of the sites it is hinted that whilst you (Granny !) are there, you may as well want to do something which turns out to be not actually essential to continue the game and finish it, [ e.g. :- at (097) "Observe Granny's 'reading habits' and note......" !! ]. Even though such actions are 'redundant' to the final outcome of the game, you'll miss some fun if you don't perform them whilst you've been forced to go to the trouble of actually getting to these places (and you'll only shorten your wanderings by a very few percent !!). Incidentally, you can usually guess when such 'superfluous suggestions' occur since they are generally incorporated into a section where there is something you HAVE to do in order to continue (and every single action you MUST do does have its own individual numbered section).

PREFACE.

As written in the booklets and walkthru's of most Quests ; pick up every item you can that is not actually 'nailed-down' --- you'll need it all (almost) later on. In BOTH walkthru's, all the inventory items you must obtain are highlighted in bold-blue and underlined. In the "Full Walkthru" only, the ones you must use are in regular blue and not-underlined. (You are NEVER told which items to use or where in the "Bare-Bones Walkthru"). In this game, Granny stores all her inventory items in her bra !@#%$*&!?. So from here onwards, your inventory is referred to as your BRAVENTORY !!

As in all Quest/Adventure games save VERY FREQUENTLY ! You never get 'killed' in this game (thank goodness !!), but you can VERY easily 'get lost'. Unlike many games, "A. &. D." is fully adapted to Windows '95/'98, and so there is absolutely NO limit to the number of Saves you can make. If, as some do, you favor longish descriptions of your Saves :- no problem --- they can be almost unlimited in length (there are some restrictions imposed by Windows '95/'98, e.g., no front or back slashes, and no colons or asterisks, etc. --- but they are very few and very easily spotted and avoided !). There are a few places where the timing is fairly critical and you may have to repeat a few times before getting it right --- before these special situations arise, you are recommended (in green) to :- S A V E ! There are also a (very) few places where the actions are somewhat complex or 'unclear', and going back involves the bother of changing back to previous CD-Rom's ; and hence it may be advisable to save --- these places are marked (in green) :- s a v e !

In "Armed & Delirious (Dementia)" there is a gimmick practically unknown in any other Quest/Adventure. You VERY frequently have to drag an object in a special direction or to a certain place. The "Bare-Bones Walkthru" does not tell you what to drag, how, or where ; but since you might overlook this action, every site in which you do have to drag something is marked in BOTH walkthru's with a red asterisk, {e.g. drag*}, & also the instruction section number is highlighted in red {e.g. (007) }.

The tape recorder gives you some 'demented' hints at many of the sites you visit. You can rewind, fast-forward, play and stop, as desired. In some screens you are informed that the tape recorder is not functioning ("intentionally" --- those programmers !!!) for one reason or another :- obviously you get no 'info' from the tape recorder in those screens !

Whenever you right-click on a braventory item, you obtain a large mobile illustration of the item and a (usually zany) written description of it &/or its use. These descriptions often contain (obscure) hints as to where/how you will have to use the item in the future !

Usually it is very clear, both visually and audibly, whenever you obtain a new braventory item. Occasionally, however, you can pick up something without being aware of it ; so to avoid repeating actions and wasting time, check Granny's braventory from time to time. The opposite can also happen (albeit rarely) and you imagine that you have obtained an item whereas in reality you haven't. This can be very annoying, since, at a later stage when you actually need the braventory item you may have to return to another World and Sub-World and often have to change CD's twice in the process. Bottom line :- WHENEVER you have got (or hope to have got) a new braventory item, it is well worth the extra few seconds to check to make certain ---and also to view it in close-up !

When you get the map, you can travel to the different Worlds and Sub-Worlds. In order to save time later, here are some general notes and the appellations used (it is well worth while drawing your own simple rough circular diagram for easy reference --- you will need it during the whole of the game, and the couple of minutes it takes to draw will save you very much more time later on in the game !).

On the map, the Worlds are situated on a circular track and Granny always travels in an anti-clockwise direction. In the following description, the numbers inside the 'curly parentheses' {} refer to the serial numbers of the CD-Rom's concerned (not really necessary !). Granny's villa is pretty obviously situated in the middle of the left hand circumference of this circle. Traveling anti-clockwise from the villa, the other 5 Worlds are marked in violet thus :-A, B, C, D, & E. The villa itself {1}, A {2}, & B {1}, don't contain any Sub-Worlds. The last 3 only, contain Sub-Worlds as follows :-

C consists of :- C1 {4} which is the right-hand square trapdoor (closed and with a hinged-lid).

C2 {3} which is the large double swing-doored (orange colored) vent opening.

C3 {5} At the extreme right end of the platform (right-hand bottom corner of the screen).

D consists of :- D1 {2} which is the 'black-hole' (just below the center of your monitor screen).

D2{2} which is the 'satellite' (at the top, near the left side of your monitor screen).

E consists of :- E1 {5} which is the rock (to which is attached a balloon), on the upper left of the
platform.

E2 {4} which is the tree, in the 'middle' of the upper surface of the platform.

E3 {3) which is the wheel to the right of the upper surface of the platform.

E4{3} which is the sphere to the right of the lower surface of the platform.

There is always at least one exit icon from every frame (screen) to get back to a previous frame, a 'Sub-World', a 'Main-World', or to return to the Map itself !

SCREEN "DESIGNATIONS" :- Whilst producing the game, the developers labeled each different screen and even location with an identification tag. These tags consisted of the CD number and (almost always) a three or four character designation. In most cases the characters bear some similarity to the name of the location (as on the map).
It is no exaggeration to say that "Armed & Delirious (Dementia)" can be mighty bewildering. Hence these identification tags have been made available to any player who wishes to access them. Simply type <Ctrl+R> any time you wish, and they will appear in the top right corner of your
screen (and remain there highlighting all the different locations until you exit the game).
These tags will not be of much use with this walkthru, nor should they be necessary. However they can be of use with the UHS-Hint File (written by the same author) and a walkthru released by the publishers.

If you do not wish to use the "Full Walkthru" :-

BELOW IS THE "BARE-BONES WALKTHRU".

************************************************

GRANNY'S VILLA.

(001) The game proper starts ! Find the kitchen.

(002) Click on the chair on the right, don't let go of the button, and move the drag cursor* to the far left of the screen (wherever in the game you 'find' a drag icon, you have to decide where to drag that specific item ) --- Granny moves the chair towards the cupboard.

(003) Get the snorkel .

(004) Find the hallway.

(005) Go to the attic.

(006) Get the bottle of brandy .

(007) Get* a bucket.

(008) Click on the bucket --- your cursor will change to a bucket icon (whenever this happens in the game, it means that this particular item is used on something/someone in that SAME screen). Use the bucket icon on the running worm until you catch the worm -- you get color worms in a bucket .

(009) Find the bathroom.

(010) Observe the antics of the 'mad cow' (no ... NOT Granny), and find a way of dealing with her* !

(011) Is Mrs. Cow short sighted or something ??

(023) But there are more interesting things in there than that !!

(024) Get George's tape recorder ---- THIS ITEM IS IMPORTANT, since George's recordings will give you clues (albeit obscure clues !) later on about many, although not all, of the screens you're in. Now return to the bedroom, the dining room and finally the hallway.

NOTE. Operate the tape recorder from time to time in the (many) different places you visit and listen to George's "diary". If you haven't done so already, view all items in your braventory (mouse:- right click) & read the written captions below them - they may contain wacky hints ?

(026) Get it* !!

(027) Go to the washroom and have a VERY good look around !

(029) Get both a coat hanger and a scarf (simultaneously).

(030) Get Granny to drive her incredible 'washing-flying machine' out of the washroom and "into the great beyond" ! ( Before she can do this she has to find a way to lever up the rails so that they don't impede her progress. This is easy, but keeping them up is more problematic! If the rails don't remain up, check that you have all of the following items :- a snorkel ; color worms in a bucket ; a bottle of brandy ; sun tan lotion ; a flying casket ; a coat hanger ; and a scarf).

(031) Gaaassssssssssssssss ..................

(032) F u l l T h r o t t l e ......................... Now* you get cut scenes of Agent Rabbit, one of his henchmen, astronaut-Granny in orbit, finishing with a map of the Worlds with Granny in her incredible

(094) Converse with the two weird creatures 'Yellow' and 'Brick-Road'. S A V E !

(095) "Follow the yellow bricks road". This is a bit tricky, although 'if at first you don't succeed ; try, try, try again' !?! ........ If the worst comes to the worst, 'cheat' by looking at (095) in the "Full Walkthru".

(096) Enter the library.

(154) Exit bottom left ; right ; then just above mid screen (don't take the right hand exit just yet !) to E. From there go to E4.

(155) Granny rests her weary limbs and resents those grungy kids on their roller-blades, especially the ones with dynamo operated 'head-lights' that dazzle !! S A V E !

(156) How can Granny put paid to those kids ? Some more dragging* ! (this can be a bit tricky --- but "if at first .... etc., etc.") --- nasty, nasty, nasty !!

(157) Granny uses a very suitable item from her braventory to make some amends to the girl !!??

{ Some gamers can't be bothered wasting their time with credits --- can you blame them ?? If you're one of these, simply right-click them into oblivion ! }
Whether you 'appreciate' credits or not, you get a metal crowbar.

(172) Exit to E. From there go to E2.

(173) Listen, talk, and generally socialize with the tree (and its 'friend'). But how to get past it ??

(174) You need to do something in front of the tree (If it doesn't 'succeed' first time, you can repeat it as often as you need to).

(175) Click on the bike and you're off. S A V E !

===================

(188) Use a braventory item.

(189) You get a Jack-in-a-box.

(190) Exit and go to a strange terrain where a never ending stream of 'Humpty-Dumpty' like tree characters on skateboards seem intent on committing suicide ! S A V E !

NOTE. Operate the tape recorder again (hints !?).

===================

(191) |~ There are 6 'actions' you have to do here --- all in this same frame.

(192) |~ HINT :- There is ONE dragging* action to be done here.

(193) |~ You will have to use (up) only 1 of Granny's braventory items.....

(194) |~ BOTTOM LINE ! You get a horn !!

(195) |~ If you get stuck for too long, maybe get help from the

(196) |~ "Full Walkthru" (where you are told exactly what to do and in very full detail ; together with descriptions of what happens and why !).

===================

(197) Exit to E. Jump off onto the map. Go to C and then to C3. Take a single step forward. s a v e !

(198) Enter the second (orange colored door) room on the right. You are in some sort of workshop/laboratory. A strange professor receives a communication via the system of tubes on the rear wall. A mad 'boat race'(??) crashes in and out of the room !

(199) Talk to the professor !? Get the weird animals to go berserk and scamper off --- If you wish to 'punish' Granny for her behavior, get her to touch the small box just above the handle !

(200) Drag* something in the room.

(201) Use a braventory item and watch the show .....The prof' exits pronto !!

(202) You get a whistle.

(203) Exit via the closet ; Step backwards ; exit through the first door on the left to C. Jump off onto the map. Go to D and then to D2. s a v e !

===================

(204) |~ There are 6 'actions' you have to do here --- all in this same frame.

(205) |~ They are all various clickings on objects (some more than once !!)

(206) |~ NO braventory items or draggings are involved here !

(207) |~ BOTTOM LINE ! A new door opens up. Exit via this door.

(208) |~ If you get stuck for too long, maybe get help from the

(209) |~ "Full Walkthru" (where you are told exactly what to do and in very full detail ; together with descriptions of what happens and why !).
You enter a room where a supervisor is scrutinizing a TV set and frequently answering a phone. A mouse emerges periodically from a wide tube into a box below ! Granny would like to get near to the TV set, but .......... no go !

===================

(210) Do something about it ?!?

(211) Drag* something then sit back and wait to see what happens to the supervisor ----- poor fella !!

(212) What to do now ?!?

(213) You get a mouse.

(214) Go into the dressing room. Look around and get to know the striptease artiste (Zink Flusik --- !?@#$&%!?!).

(215) Drag* something.

(216) Another action --- in the same room. S A V E!

(217) You have to do something & then your next action has to be QUICK !!

(218) A VERY quick drag* (ha ha) ...You may have to repeat this 2 or 3 times.

(219) Pick up the model's clothes.

NOTE. If you haven't done so already, view all items in your braventory (mouse:- right click) and read the written captions below them --- they may contain wacky hints ??

(220) Exit the dressing room and back to the supervisor's room. S A V E !

(221) Do something and pretty quickly proceed to the next action.

(222) Granny finds herself in a 'fork & shopping-cart' contest !

(223) This short game can best be 'won' by using the 4 arrow keys on the keyboard rather than the mouse. For more details (if you need them) see the "Full Walkthru" (223). You may do it first time, or it may take you many attempts --- but don't give up if you find it somewhat tedious --- you'll succeed sooner or later!!

(224) For all your efforts, you get the bottom part of a hang glider --- of all things !!

(225) Return to the platform with those shutters, etc.

(226) Find a way to get transported to an 'electrified room'. Try entering the laser room --- serves Granny right !!

(227) How can you enter that room just the same ?

(228) Try again and Granny succeeds in stepping into the room but becomes invisible !!

(229) You have to 'open up' a new exit !

(230) Again you have to be fairly quick !!

(231) Exit to the rabbit's 'residence'. Poke around things there --- particularly the candy machine and the bubble-gum machine. Where/how do you get a horn connected to a whistle ??

(232) Use 'whatever' !! Interesting results ......... !

(233) Granny reverses backwards to the 'invisible-electric' room. You get a smelly cigar.

(234) Examine the entrances into the house. Mr. Rabbit himself ........... scampers away before Granny can get to him ! Look around and about.

===================

(235) |~ There are 6 'actions' you have to do here --- all in this same frame.

(236) |~ NO braventory items are involved here, but there is 1 drag* action.

(237) |~ HINTS :- Granny has a mud bath, & some very youthful aerobics !

(238) |~ OBJECTIVES :- (A) Get a squeegee. (B) Get onto the exercise bike.

(239) |~ If you get stuck for too long, maybe get help from the

(240) |~ "Full Walkthru" (where you are told exactly what to do and in very full detail ; together with descriptions of what happens and why !).

===================

(241) Get into a weird red 'vacuum' room.

===================

(242) |~ There are 8 'actions' you have to perform here --- the last one only needing fairly rapid speed ;

(243) |~ They are all in this same frame (a sort of red 'vacuum room').

(244) |~ NO braventory items or draggings are involved here !

(245) |~ BOTTOM LINE ! You get a Master key !!

(246) |~ If you get stuck for too long, maybe get help from the

(247) |~ "Full Walkthru" (where you are told exactly what to do and in very full detail ; together with descriptions of what happens and why !). S A V E !

(248) |~ The last 'action' ONLY is a bit tricky and has to be done quickly,

(249) |~ so save frequently and particularly before the last but one 'action'.
If you get the timing right, the whole room contracts and expands ; Granny is swiveled to the left ; and you get the key. You may be lucky and succeed first time or you may have to repeat a few times --- but you'll get there ! (N.B. You may not notice that you actually GOT the key, but if the abovementioned phenomena took place, then you DID. It's very well worth while just checking in Granny's braventory to make absolutely sure --- you don't want to have to make the very long journey specially all the way back to here again, and then have to repeat all of this again, some time later in the game !).
===================

(250) Exit, exit, etc. ! Travel from D to A. Go into the room with the two 'slumbering guards'.

(251) What can be done about that filthy mirror ? Granny knows !

(252) You get a diamond.

(253) Exit, exit ! Go to E and from there to E2. You're back at that drowsy tree again.

(254) Something about that yawning tree !?

(255) DO something.

(256) And again !

(257) Find something to drag*. WHAT; yet another room !! Wander around.

(258) Something here may give you a clue as to what to do next ?

(259) You get a long sheet of paper.

(260) Back to the yawning tree.

(261) Use the skateboard. Back to the woodland again.

(262) Drag* something --- Granny is now in the Rabbit's (Alice in Wonderland type) stock exchange.

(263) Make a cheeky action !?

(264) And another ?!

(265) Create an illusion of diamonds. (A crafty way of multiplying one diamond into many --- a stock exchange gambler's mirage !!).

(266) Illusions can sometimes be constructive !

(267) You get exploding boxes.

(268) Go to D and from there to D1. Go back to that eerie forest again.

D & D1.

(269) You come upon an old geezer snoring away despite the fact that he has an ax embedded deep in his head !?!? Examine the terrain.

NOTE. Operate the tape recorder again (hints !?).

(270) Observe the 'bubble of thought' emerging from his 'open mind' !

(271) Get ready for brain surgery !!!

(272) What 'anesthetic' might be suitable ?

(273) The next actions have to be done pretty quickly ! S A V E !

(274) "The laundress and the tunnel". This is a whole 'scene' involving several actions but no braventory items (either given or received) and no 'dragging'. Some of the actions have to be performed fairly quickly. If you 'slip-up', you start all over again --- but it's fairly easy and you get as many tries as you want. If you succeed, you automatically get transported to the next stage of the game. If you get stuck for too long, maybe get help from (274) of the "Full Walkthru" (where you are told exactly what to do and in very full detail ; together with descriptions of what happens and why !).

(275) Granny would like to get to the guy in the chair but the billy-goat isn't having any !

(278) |~ HINT:- You will have to use two of Granny's braventory items.

(279) |~ BOTTOM LINE ! You get underpants !!

(280) |~ N.B. It's all a bit chaotic, but if you keep on clicking you'll succeed.

(281) |~ Incidentally :- Sometimes, when Granny is close to the guy, it goes better if you move her anywhere away from him !

(282) |~ If you get stuck for too long, maybe get help from the

(283) |~ "Full Walkthru" (where you are told exactly what to do and in very full detail ; together with descriptions of what happens and why !).

===================

(284) There is one 'game' you can play here --- it's pretty easy !

(285) 'Play' it ! If you get stuck for too long, maybe get help from (285) of the "Full Walkthru".

(286) Success in the game creates a new exit.

(287) Take it ! You are now in a place where a workman is using a pneumatic drill on a giant snail.

(288) Granny keeps shaking and falling down. What does she need to overcome this ??

(289) Do something.

(290) And something rather similar.

(291) And something else of a somewhat similar nature.

(292) You get a mushroom.

(293) Take the 'new exit'. You are in Melanie's room. Roam around ?!?

===================

(294) |~ There are 9 (small, and quite 'easy') 'actions' you have to do here ;

(295) |~ They are all in this same frame (Melanie's room).

(297) |~ { Quite a bit of 'fun' with "toasted-bugs" or whatever ! }

(298) |~ You will have to use (up) 2 of Granny's braventory items.....

(299) |~ BOTTOM LINE ! You get a family album !!

(300) |~ { This album comes from a weird creature you can't get to directly }

(301) |~ If you get stuck for too long, maybe get help from the

(302) |~ "Full Walkthru" (where you are told exactly what to do and in very full detail ; together with descriptions of what happens and why !).

===================

(303) Drag* something which causes Melanie to fly to ... ?? ... ?? s a v e !

(304) Exit, exit, etc. ! Go to the Villa.

GRANNY'S VILLA.

(305) Enter the villa. Go to the washroom. You get a ball filled with water.

(312) Get to the floor where the action really takes place !

(313) Get moving !!!

(315) Get into a REALLY upside down room with Granny upside down also !! Notice the rabbit --- who/what is he ?

(316) Get to know the place. Drag* something in order to move on.

(317) And now exit.

NOTE. Operate the tape recorder again (hints !?).

(323) Try something which disproves Newton's law of gravity !

(325) Cause something to happen and see what it is when you return to the room below !

(326) You get a lampshade.

(327) Fit something Granny's been carrying.

(328) Cause Granny to travel.

(329) She is in some sort of machine room. As always, poke around and keep your eyes and ears open. N.B. Keep a half an eye on the cat and the goldfish. Try to get something.

(330) You get a blueprint.

===================

(331) |~ There are 6 (small, quite 'easy') 'actions' you have to perform here ;

(332) |~ They are all in this same frame (the machine room).

(336) |~ "Full Walkthru" (where you are told exactly what to do and in very full detail ; together with descriptions of what happens and why !).

===================

(337) Exit to the fourth floor corridor. Get to A VERY STRANGE ROOM INDEED !! Some crazy architect has somehow split it horizontally along the middle --- goodness only knows how or why ?!? This time, have a very good look around (if you want to make ANY 'sense' of what is to happen ??). Granny can also take a shower here if she so wishes !?

NOTE. Operate the tape recorder again (hints !?). S A V E !

(338) There is a round metallic looking knob on the floor near the bottom middle of the screen. Click on it --- anything significant happen ? Drag* it to Granny. N.B. It is ESSENTIAL that you do this HERE, or you could be in very serious trouble later (a nasty 'dead end' !!!).

(339) The set up here is absolutely zany ! Granny has got to get 'upstairs' (talk about "split level" !).

(340) Quite a bit of 'fun and games' to achieve this !

(341) She would like to get to the right hand side of this floor but the artist won't let her ............ it spoils his 'concentraaaaation' !

(342) She will have to distract him with one of her possessions. From his talking and singing, it's not difficult to guess what would appeal to him !

(343) Notice that that there is a 'counterpart' chest of drawers on the upper level !

(344) And also an 'ancient Russian fireplace' on both 'floors' !

(345) There IS a somewhat shorter method to get rid of the artist than the one described in the "Full Walkthru" (see 345) !! Maybe you've found it ?!? But you miss a fair bit of the 'fun' !!

(346) Get rid of that weirdo on the right of the camera !@#$%&? .

(347) You get a camera (with a backwards flash).

(348) Granny has apparently "missed her waxing appointment" ?!!

NOTE. Operate the tape recorder again (hints !?).

(350) Make part of the cube rotate in one plane !

(351) And now another part in a different plane ...... Country and Western music, & dancing red boots ! At least the cube looks a bit more 'normal' now!

(352) The architect is obstreperous. What has he lost ? Oh yes --- give him something 'useful' (not that it seems to actually help him much !).

(353) Muffle the music (how ?) and make the red boots stop dancing and become more accessible.

(354) You get red dancing boots. s a v e !

(355) Exit, exit, etc. (some exits are a bit 'trickier than usual') ! Go to E and then to E3.

E & E3.

(356) Exit and arrive at George's office. Click on him many times to get him to pay any serious attention ---- you'll hear just what he thinks of his mother (and vice versa) !!!

(357) Since (according to Granny --- his mother) George is only interested in "money and young women", get Granny to act the part. NOW George really pays attention and opens up his inner sanctum !

(358) Use something.

(359) Can you photograph George ? ................ Sure !!

(360) O.K. ............ and George REALLY launches into orbit !!!!

(361) Look around carefully. You get a suitcase (with a sock credit card) {it's rather difficult to see !!}.

(362) Exit and go to the villa.

GRANNY'S VILLA.

(363) Go back to George's secret room { see (021) }. Drag* something.

(364) Granny must cause dark red curtains to be drawn revealing a sophisticated missile of some sort.

(365) She tinkers with gadgetry. Whooommmfff. -------- Hatch closed ------------ Take off !

(366) You get a football helmet. --- If the bed comes crashing down and stops Granny from getting the helmet (you can try it if you like !!), don't worry --- you can very easily get it to retract again !

(367) Exit, exit, etc., and return to A.

(368) Open the double fawn colored doors at the top of the (static) staircase.

NOTE. Operate the tape recorder again (hints !?).

(369) Granny is given 'instructions' "for the sake of security".

(370) She does what she is told --- for what it's worth !!! --- and is informed that she can begin the game. S A V E !

(371) This may be a bit tricky (though sometimes extremely easy), but not really hard. As always, you can repeat as often as you need. (HINT :- If you have trouble, sun tan lotion may assist !!). If you get stuck for too long, maybe get help from (371) of the "Full Walkthru". When you 'win', Granny reaches the trophy and obtains a goblet.

E1.

(372) Exit and go to E, and then E1, and then to the giant.

(373) Find the balloon maker --- He's not far away --- A galloping stone will take Granny to him --- She shows off her dancing prowess with the wacky character (is that her idea of " jiving " ??!!@#$%&???).

NOTE. Operate the tape recorder again (hints !?).

(374) Talk to the guy. Granny wants an engine or electricity or whatever. He says she can take it --- but how ?? Give him something he wants.

(375) ................ He lied .................. He wants more than that !! You get an engine and a car battery. Exit, exit, etc., and return to D and then D1.

D1.

(376) Go to the eerie forest. Try the car (which flew out of the ax-man's head) ...... no go ! Use something pretty obvious on it and it lights up --- literally ! Exit bottom left corner. S A V E !

NOTE. Operate the tape recorder again (hints !?).

(377) Granny is in front of a bench, next to a kind of 'fruit-machine' ; with that darned kangaroo still hopping round and round in circles. Get the machine to 'light up'.

(378) Make the barrier bar descend (timing a little tricky here !) -- and see what happens to the kangaroo!

(379) QUICKLY get Granny to do something.

(380) Quickly (since he soon recovers and resumes his hopping !) cause the kangaroo to take Granny on a guided tour of the area --- ride him Cow-Granny ! On their travels, Granny picks up a magnet. On return, Granny is thrown down off the animal's back. IMPORTANT :- check Granny's braventory to see you've actually acquired the magnet. Exit right bottom corner ; back to D, and the map. Go to C and C2.

C2.

(381) At C2 go to [ii] --- see (056). Granny has arrived at a Disco. Slouch around and talk to the deejay and listen to what he has to say.

NOTE. Operate the tape recorder again (hints !?).

(382) Granny does something most grannies couldn't do !

(383) She has another session of acrobatics and sure clears the floor pronto !!

(384) ........ And Granny goes dancing ........... " rock-'n'-roll " !!??@#$%&??!!

(385) Granny wins the prize --- a clapping hat.

(386) Drag* something. A new exit opens up --- Enter this large round hole.

(387) Granny's in a Karaoke hall. Her grandson is boring everybody to tears. Play around there. Drag* an object --- 'curtains' to the brat (although you can still hear him !!).

(388) Now shut him up --- thank goodness !!

(389) 'Interact' with both of the two old geezers.

(390) Granny's 'repertoire' --- " Honky-tonk " ??

(391) Get out of there. A guard bashes Granny, shakes her, and grabs her braventory.

(392) She finds herself in another most curious room, and gets a REAL shock !! She can click on the exit-icon on the large central screen .... sit in the chair .... pull the lever on her right ..................... and get a really good close up view of her hair and other things --- but not much else !! 'Retreat' !

(393) She's back with the guard and gets her own back by kicking him where it hurts most (Kung-fu/Granny) --- She also gets her braventory returned.

(394) The guard has plenty of pin-on metal medals --- how 'attractive' !!!

(395) You get an emergency steering wheel.

(396) Now enter the door and Granny's back in that very curious room.

NOTE. Operate the tape recorder again (hints !?).

(397) Try various things including conversation with the guard.

(398) Give the guard something that will REALLY keep him occupied ! He will be too 'mesmerized' to pay attention to anything else.

(399) Granny enters a room where Florence is making 'music' on an electric guitar.

(400) 'Investigate' Florence, the cage, the door, the loudspeaker ; whatever ! Drag* something which makes the cage rise --- blessed silence !

(401) Push an object which is a bit difficult to see and observe the result !

(402) More of the same, but this time use something.

(403) Drag* something ................ ciao Florence !!!! You get an electric guitar. Exit ; exit ; ....... etc.

(410) Drag* a 'universal' object and enter the opening.

(411) One tiny Napoleon playing with a cannon ....... another running around in circles attempting to avoid being crushed by a steamroller driven by Quinn (Granny's baby grandson) !@#$%&?!@#$%&?. Get as much of the "story" as you can from the 'cannon-kid' and surroundings.

(412) "How to make a hang glider --- for Dummies" !

(413) Granny goes hang-gliding !!! Eventually, she chases Quinn away from his games !

(414) Exit ; exit ; exit; ....... etc. Go to C then C3.

C3.

(415) Take a step forward (so that the first door on your right is the 'prison' --- with the crazy video camera). s a v e !

(416) Click on the last (third --- dark green) door on the right of the corridor.

(417) Granny is in a room full of giant loudspeakers and a video camera (linked to Agent Rabbit). How can she avoid getting deafened ?

(418) Find some way to stop the video camera from tracking Granny's subsequent movements !!

(419) What's this --- a magic stick ! You get TWO crooked sticks.

(420) How can you 'manufacture' a large new (exit) hole ?

(421) Use this new exit-icon and enter the hole. Granny enters a solitary confinement room with her granddaughter Donna. ( Let the sequence run to the end ........ No, there's nothing wrong with your computer !! --- Granny's been temporarily blinded by Agent Rabbit's magic !).

(422) How can you get Granny to see properly ?

(423) Have a few 'polite' grandma/granddaughter exchanges !!

(424) Use something.

(425) Use something else to release Donna from her imprisoning hat !!

(428) Return to the plants' underground command center.

(429) Do something to the giant ventilator. Wowwww --- all protective bars are removed (together with that annoying plant) !

(430) Drag* something again.

(431) Granny takes action .......

(432) ........ And more action.

(433) Step (click) into the ventilator.
( N.B. If Agent Rabbit isn't inside and you're returned to the plants' underground command center, check in your braventory that you've still got a goldfish and also a mushroom !! --- if not, get them if you want to see the very lengthy end sequence ) :-

"ARMED & DELIRIOUS"

(Also entitled "Dementia" and originally "Granny")

"FULL" - WALKTHRU

Len Green :- 19 Sept. 1997. {updated; 2 July '00} <lengreen@hotmail.com>

INTRODUCTION.

"Armed & Delirious (Dementia)" is a unique Quest/Adventure Game from several points of view and well worth the effort of playing through to its conclusion. It is almost completely 'open-ended' and there are six Main-Worlds to explore (almost all containing many Sub-Worlds). "Armed & Delirious", as its name infers, is pretty wacky, and hence somewhat difficult for all us sane (??) gamers to follow ! Anybody who manages to do so absolutely 100% without ANY walkthru, cheat-sheet, hints, or help from anybody REALLY deserves a prize --- maybe the Distributors will send you one ...... haha !?!?!?!? But some lesser mortals may want just a little (or maybe quite a lot of) assistance. To that end there are TWO walkthru's :-

IMPORTANT NOTE :- You can of course visit all the Worlds and Sub-Worlds in ANY order you choose. You can always move ahead, but generally only up to a certain limited point, since you are probably missing an essential item you need from somewhere else. So you often have to do quite a lot of superfluous 'going backwards and forwards' (you have to do quite a lot of this anyhow, even using either walkthru !).

PREFACE.

The tape recorder gives you some 'demented' hints at many of the sites you visit. You can r
