Hi, I suppose you don't need much information on playing simple BASIC games.
Yeah, it's freeware.
Overview:
It's a tactical-trading-flying game, with a bit of shoot'em up features. You
need to collect money by trading in a system of planets to buy some devices
that might help you to reach your goal. However, it's a good thing if you
like surprises :-)
Note on emulators:
This game fully works on a real Plus/4. I tested the disk and tape
saving-loading, it worked for me. If your Plus/4 emulator doesn't emulate
disk and/or tape devices, you should use some snapshot options. If neither of
these work, then you might think about upgrading your emulator software.
Using the program:
In most cases, you don't need to use more than the cursor keys and
space. However, these keys have different functions in different
situations (see below). Other keys are trivial what time to use (eg.
giving filenames).
Keyboard usage in some cases:
in trading/equipment menus | up/down to select item
left/right to buy/sell space to finish |
flying in space | up/down to select equipment /
see quantity left/right to navigate ship space to fire
active weapon |
in maze | cursors to walk space to
escape from maze |
in hotel menus | special key: run/stop to
escape to main hotel menu anytime |
Program history:
- V1.0
- - Initial version made in around 1991-1992 (ah, my memory...)
- V1.1
- - First release for public. Translated everything to English,
minor bugfixes, upgraded some features beneath contempt.
Last note:
If you think you are totally lost, you can find some hints hidden in this
html document's code. To see them, select your html viewer's view
source option, then scroll down far to the bottom. And be careful: Don't
read more than you want to read! :-)
HAVE FUN.
