Publications

Sheerluck is a trial-and-error game for the Commodore 64 that was published in the May 1990 issue of the Compute's! Gazette. While the title may make it seem like winning comes down to sheer luck, all it takes is a simple process of elimination. You play as a detective whose task is to match criminal names with the right mugshots. At the bottom of the screen is a Truth Meter that grades your choices based on whether you got the right mugshots or if you matched the names and mugshots.
nymx in this run plays the game until the difficulty maxes out, which is when the maximum number of suspect names to match is reached, and seemingly uses clairvoyance to beat it as fast as possible.
The baseline tab shows the default movie beating the game as fast as possible without any special conditions.
