School Daze

Skool Daze is an action-adventure game released by Microsphere in 1984 for the ZX Spectrum and ported to the Commodore 64 the following year. It was written by David Reidy (whose wife, Helen, was a school teacher at the time) with graphics designed by Keith Warrington. The game was commercially and critically successful, and praised for its original concept. It has since been regarded as one of the pioneers of the open world sandbox game genre.

The player assumes the role of a schoolboy named Eric whose objective is to steal his report card out of the staff room safe by accomplishing various tasks around the school. The computer controls all the other characters, including the headmaster, the teachers, and the pupils.
