Well, if it's the same as the C64 version, you can (o)ffer the shopkeepers
money, but you won't get anything from them. The only way I know to get
food is to go to a food shop (they have names like McDonald's or Alfred's
Fish and Chips). Not every town has a food shop. Try looking in different
towns.
