System requirements:

|
|
Airball will run on an APPLE IIgs with at least 768k and a
|
|
color monitor. A joystick is recommended, but not
|
|
necessary. To load the game, simply place the master disk
|
|
in your default disk drive, then double click on the
|
|
"AIRBALL.NODRAG" icon ( the fastest mode of play). Or
|
|
"AIRBALL.DRAGONS (has the dragon on both sides of the screen
|
|
but sacrifices some speed) the game will then load.

Introduction
|
|
|
|
"Now you're really in trouble" said the Evil Wizard. "I've
|
|
warned you about trespassing in my mansion. Now, since you
|
|
did not take heed of my warnings, I'm turning you into a
|
|
ball of air and sending you deep into my mansion of over 250
|
|
rooms, to search for my spellbook that may give you clues on
|
|
how to transform yourself into a human again. It will not be
|
|
a simple task, for you, as the ball of air, have a slow
|
|
leak, and you'll need to jump on the air pump in some rooms
|
|
to stay inflated. Take heed, for if you pump up too much you
|
|
will burst! If you are lucky enough to find the spellbook in
|
|
these rooms, you'll next have to pick up the objects I've
|
|
left such as: crosses, tins of beans, a Buddha, a dragon
|
|
statue, a pumpkin, a flask and even crates that you'll need
|
|
to get over treacherous obstacles! This is your one chance
|
|
of survival", he cackles.
|
|
|
|
"Sounds easy," you laughingly boast to the evil wizard. "Oh!
|
|
Does it now!" He sneeres. "Well I'm also putting spikes in
|
|
these rooms that will take your breath away, as well as
|
|
killer pads on the floor. You have no chance for
|
|
success...Hee! Hee!"
|
|
|
|
Playing instructions
|
|
|
|
At the start of the game you will be put on a pump. As long
|
|
as you remain on the pump your internal pressure will
|
|
increase. If your pressure becomes too high you will burst.
|
|
At the bottom of the screen your pressure is represented by
|
|
a yellow bar, pay close attention to this bar because this
|
|
is how much air you have left until you find another pump.
|
|
|
|
Once you have acquired sufficient pressure you must search
|
|
for the spellbook. Watch out for hidden dangers, as your
|
|
skin is easily punctured. There are rooms that require help
|
|
to gain access. {Hint: you need to find the flashlight to
|
|
enter the dark room.} If you are lucky enough to find the
|
|
spellbook, return it to the starting room and follow the
|
|
wizard's advice.
