Introduction =============================================================================== Urban Upstart is an interactive fiction adventure by Richard Shepherd Software that was made for the Commodore 64 in 1983. The aim is to escape from the town of Scarthorpe. There are many locations that can be explored, although not all areas have to be visited in the order to complete the game. There are a few red herring items as well, so the game can be completed quite quickly if you manage to avoid the unnecessary items and locations. The graphics are very basic, but if you can look past this then Urban Upstart is quite an enjoyable game. =============================================================================== 2.
