Back to Skool

Back to Skool is an open world[2] video game, sequel to the Skool Daze, created by David Reidy with graphics by Keith Warrington for the ZX Spectrum and released by Microsphere in 1985.

The game differs from its predecessor by an increase in the size of the play area (including a neighbouring girls' school) and a number of gameplay changes.

The girls' school incorporates its own new characters including undistinguished girls with hockey sticks, Hayley (girlfriend of the main character Eric) and Miss Take (the headmistress).

The opening and closing of the gate is controlled by the school caretaker Albert, a new character to the game.

Elements added in Back to Skool include stink bombs (used to trigger the opening of windows), water pistols (used to make the potted plants grow and spill water onto the teachers), mice that can be released in the girls' school causing widespread panic, and sherry (which can be squirted into cups and used to "intoxicate" teachers by splashing it on them with correct timing).
