One of your cousins is also trying to find the hidden contraption, and you both have less than 48 hours to complete the challenge. The time limit is turn-based: each command you type in takes one minute of in-game time. You begin at your hotel, and you have 2 dollars. The first task you will need to take care of is a bout of food poisoning that you picked up on the journey here, which threatens to take you out of the race early... From Mobygames.com. Original Entry
