Caribbean Quest
|
|
|
|
The Object:
|
|
|
|
You must recover stolen items from the bad guy. To do this you
|
|
use your simulated modem to gain access to other computers and
|
|
get information needed to fulfill your mission.
|
|
|
|
Once you think you have the data you need, you must type "GO
|
|
AIRPORT" to start your adventure.
|
|
|
|
The adventure is pseudo-real time. You must arrive and work to
|
|
finish your task while avoiding guards making their rounds. The
|
|
clock is always on the screen. Be in the wrong place when a guard
|
|
arrives and you are caught. Your mission fails.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Simulated Modem
|
|
|
|
With the simulated modem you can pass phone numbers--have them
|
|
'dialed' and determine if another computer answers. If it does,
|
|
you can then connect and get into the other computer.
|
|
|
|
To use the modem, you must write a Basic program. Its first two
|
|
lines MUST be:
|
|
|
|
10 A% = 0: B% = 0: N% = 0
|
|
20 MODEM = 19203
|
|
|
|
Then if you write:
|
|
|
|
30 A% = 516: B% = 265
|
|
40 FOR N = 1 TO 9999
|
|
45 N% = N
|
|
50 CALL MODEM
|
|
60 NEXT N
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will try all numbers from 516 265 0000 to 516 265 9999.
|
|
|
|
If a number is another computer is reached, the number and a
|
|
prompt will be displayed.
|
|
|
|
516 265 0046 # <- flashing
|
|
|
|
If you answer the prompt with a "Control-C" within 10 seconds,
|
|
you will connect to the computer. If you do not input "Control-C"
|
|
you will return to your Basic program and it will continue to
|
|
run.
|
|
|
|
Once connected, you must input a password. You get 5 tries before
|
|
you are disconnected and put back into Basic. The articles give
|
|
clues to passwords.
|
|
|
|
|
|
By the way, there is also a 'HELP' screen. You get it by typing
|
|
'HELP' and return.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: This is a modified version of DOS 3.3. Many commands are
|
|
locked out. Some are added, i.e., HELP, GO AIRPORT.
|
|
|
|
This disk must remain write protected. If you write to it, all is
|
|
lost.
|
|
|
|
When you get to side 2 you may stop the clock by typing 'H' and
|
|
return (H for hold). To restart, press the space bar and return.
|
|
(This works on side 1 also)
|
|
|
|
When you are in your room, you may advance the clock by typing
|
|
'A' and return.
|
|
|
|
To save game, type 'SAVE'.
|
|
|
|
To load a saved game, type 'LOAD'.

YOURTOWN, U.S.A.: Today the owner of Tailspin Airlines revealed
|
|
the details of the latest hijacking of one of its small passenger
|
|
aircraft.
|
|
|
|
Jack Crashright, the pilot and owner of the company, said he
|
|
was forced to fly to a small uncharted island off the coast.
|
|
|
|
After forcing all passengers to leave the plane and disabl-
|
|
ing its navigational equipment, the hijacker forced Jack to take
|
|
off from the island. Only his great skill and resourcefulness
|
|
permitted him to find his way back without any navigational aids.
|
|
|
|
A search has been launched for this remote Caribbean island
|
|
and the lost passengers, but as in past cases of this nature,
|
|
there is little hope of finding them alive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HERTOWN, U.S.A.: Mrs. Winifred P. Windom has reported three
|
|
priceless antiques stolen from her private collection. The three
|
|
pieces, still not identified, are believed to have been stolen by
|
|
Abdul E. Zarwati. Zarwati and his constant companion Zelda, with
|
|
her dogs Zulu and Zip were seen leaving the airport bound for
|
|
Zarwati Island, where the summer palace is located.
|
|
|
|
While there is no proof Zarwati is the thief, he is a col-
|
|
lector with what is believed to be a vast private collection of
|
|
priceless trivia.
|
|
|
|
The authorities are powerless without proof, but it is
|
|
thought that a 'soldier of fortune' has been retained to recover
|
|
the items.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
with volume #001 before remerging
|
|
