INSTRUCTION
In school, Mikie has decided to take a message to his girl-friend
in the schoolyard. This is far from an easy task though - which
is where you come in...
 
Mikie has to go through five different areas: the classroom,
locker room, canteen, gymnasium and schoolyard. In each area he
must collect all the hearts on the screen before moving on to the
next one.  Each time he collects a heart, a letter is added to
a message at the top of the screen. The staff, however, are not
too happy at this and will do their best to catch Mikie!

 1. CLASSROOM  - Mikie must collect the hearts from under the
seats of his classmates, who are sitting on the hearts. He has
to bump people onto another seat before picking up the heart;
meanwhile, the teacher will attempt to catch him and will
occasionally get so frustrated that he throws his false teeth at
Mikie. Contact with the teacher or the teeth loses you a life.

 HALLWAY : Having done that, you must leave the room and go into
the hallway, where you will be presented with a row of doors. The
one leading to the next room is marked with "in"; Mikie must go
there while avoiding the patrolling janitor and teachers.

 2. LOCKER ROOM     - you must collect three hearts from each of
the lockers, by facing a locker and shouting once for each heart,
and avoid capture by the teachers. If they get too close, Mikie
can pick up a basketball and hurl it at his pursuers to distract
them. After  the locker room, it's back into the hallway again.

 3. CANTEEN    - Mikie has to gather the gather the hearts
scattered around on the floor and shout at the ones on the table.
Again, you are pursued, this time by cooks; you can distract them
by picking up chickens and throwing them at the pursuers.

 4. GYMNASIUM  - collect the hearts while avoiding the dancing
girls.  Contact with one stuns you, allowing the gym master to
catch you.

 5. SCHOOLYARD - Mikie has to collect all the hearts here while
avoiding the three caretakers. If he gets them all, he can go to
the top of the screen and give his girlfriend a kiss and his
message.
