Walkthrough for Paparazzi! Tales of TinseltownWalkthrough for Paparazzi! Tales
of Tinseltown
(An Activision, Inc. and Museworthy, Inc. product)
Written 2/11/1996 by Michael Salsbury (salsbury@usoar.net)
The object of this game is to take photos of 24 celebrities in Tinseltown, in
some sort of compromising position. The photos can (but do not have to be) sold
to various publications, ranging from sleazy tabloids to well-respected
magazines.
Each "day" of game time has a "day" and a "night" period. Each period gives you
the chance to go to two different places in order to take photos. There are less
than 14 total days, so you have to take photos on many of your trips out in
order to complete your assignment. This is complicated by the fact that some of
the celebrities are only in certain places at certain times on certain days. If
you miss the right place and time, you miss the photo.
Adding to the complication is the fact that "exactly" the right photo must be
taken of the celebrity in order to count. You may shoot up to two photos at each
location you visit, which makes your film very precious. (On my system, I had an
additional complication. The game is supposed to show you the photos you took so
that you can choose the best one. The photos were not shown on my screen, so I
had to click one and hope it was the best.)
To win this game, you must get into the following routine and follow it
carefully for each day of game play:
Watch all programs on all channels of the TV, once every day and once every
night (they do change). Some of the programs provide hints as to where the
celebrities will be, and when. If you miss the hint, you'll miss the photo
opportunity.
Check your messages, once every day and once every night (they do change). The
phone calls sometimes include tips to finding a celebrity, advice on game
play, etc.
When you have nothing else to do, go to Cheever's Camera Shop during the day
and to the Blue Fug at night. These places abound with hints, tips, etc.
The following walkthrough contains the list of TV programs appearing on all
channels, the list of messages on your answering machine, and the places you
should go during each time period of each day. If there is no specific place you
should go, it will say "Go anywhere." which means you can visit any location you
like. You may find some amusing things going on at some places, though probably
nothing worth shooting.
Note that you also have to watch your reputation. If it gets too bad, people
won't be friendly with you, won't let you in places, etc. Your reputation can be
negatively affected by selling your photos at all in some cases, and by selling
them to sleazier publications who misuse them. You can improve your reputation
by selling certain photos to certain publications, or by selling them to the FIB
as evidence.

Axle Griese
Places to Go, Photos to Shoot:
Go to Grand Hotel. Photograph Wink and Vela kissing. Stick around and get
invited into Vela's room. See how happy she is, etc., and how much danger she's
in if Otto finds out. If you sell photo, she will disappear on Day 14 and
presumably gets killed along with Dink Winkelstein. Your reputation undoubtedly
suffers. If you keep photo and don't sell it, this doesn't happen.
Go to Dark Alley. Axle will try to kill himself a variety of ways. Then he'll
say something about giving up and going home. He'll attach jumper cables to his
car and then accidentally electrocute himself. Get a photo of him lying on the
ground dead. You can sell it or keep it. (Why you can't stop him is beyond me.)
