Playing Mazer 2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Move around in 'virtual reality' world via mouse; interact
|
||
|
|
via four kinds of "Energy Pulses": Creative, Destructive,
|
||
|
|
Affirmative, Negative (CRT, DST, AFF, NEG).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CRT- Creates, restores / friendly
|
||
|
|
DST- Destroys, attacks / hostile
|
||
|
|
AFF- says "Yes"
|
||
|
|
NEG- says "No"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To fire a pulse, hold down mouse button and select one of the
|
||
|
|
symbols at the corners of the message area below the main
|
||
|
|
view. When you release the mouse button after selecting a
|
||
|
|
pulse type, that type of energy is released in the direction
|
||
|
|
you are facing. Clicking fires energy pulse of type last
|
||
|
|
selected. Releasing button in blank area between symbols
|
||
|
|
does NOT fire a pulse. (Also: Clicking in this area is
|
||
|
|
signal that any current message has been read and you are
|
||
|
|
ready to continue.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Status Bars: Left bar = Overall Energy level (HP, health, etc.)
|
||
|
|
Right bar = Temp Energy level (energy available to
|
||
|
|
fire pulses)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ESC key: Pauses Game; allows Save/Restore up to four
|
||
|
|
Games (#1-#4) and/or Quit

? system error 0201: "out of memory" --> may try booting
|
||
|
|
bare-bones GSOS from disk
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Goal/Objectives: must determine for yourself
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Accelerator boards: game is a bit too fast on Zip-GS 9MHz;
|
||
|
|
probably, it's a good idea to reduce speed setting.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mouse moving: inconvenient to have to pick up and move
|
||
|
|
mouse to move; would be better to use button for 'move
|
||
|
|
in current direction' and use SPC to fire pulses.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sound: no sound!
