Personal review

A sequel to the brilliant 'Skool Daze'. Ingenious game, showing excellent early AI techniques. Things are happening all the time throughout the school on screen and outside the screen.
First of all find the water pistol, then wait until you get a lesson in the 'Blue Room', then, when everyone has settled, go outside the room so as you can see Einstein snitching on you. Run back to your seet before he finishes. The teacher will speedily return to the blackboard in the wrong position and start rubbing (It's all about timing so it may take a few attempts). He will go too far and go out the screen, leaving only a frozen image of himself that will dissappear if you walk through it. Quickly run down to the cloakroom, below the toilets, make sure you're on the very left of the screen. Turn so as you are facing right, but still on the very left of the screen. Shoot your water pistol. You will notice that the screen will scroll to the right. Keep pressing right and the screen will scroll all the way to the girls school without you. Wait a while and, Hey Presto, the teacher will come through the upper right hand side of the screen into the headmistress' staff room.

Description

In this sequel to popular Skool Daze once again you must try and save your own neck!

Having managed to steal your report during the last few skooldaze of term, you've spent the whole holiday forging teachers' signatures and handwriting to make yourself look like the brightest, sweetest natured, most helpful little soul ever to carry a satchel.... Now all you've got to do is get it back into the Headmasters's safe!

Back to Skool follows the same gameplay style as its predecessor, but this time the school is bigger (there's a girl's section to explore) and there's a larger cast of characters. There's also more to do this time around, with more objectives to complete before you can finish the game.
