Player's Guide by Dr. Micro
|
||
|
||
A crack by the Pacific Pirate's Guild (PPG) on March 17, 1985
|
||
|
||
|
||
YOUR MISSION: To guide bytes of information from the computer. Move from one to
|
||
six bytes from the keyboard to the disk drive. You are the protagonist,
|
||
Willy. You must watch out for the antagonist, Hex Luthor, who throws power
|
||
surges at you. Also, you must worry about the power or the clock going
|
||
haywire.
|
||
|
||
OPTIONS MENU: After choosing to play with the keyboard or the joystick, you'll
|
||
be prompted either to enter your own message or to allow the program to
|
||
choose the message for you. You'll be attempting to send this message to the
|
||
computer by playing the game. Your skill level will be determined by the
|
||
number of characters in your message, e.g. the more characters, the higher
|
||
the skill level.
|
||
|
||
CPU: [room with X,Y,A,ALU,Flags] The room is merely an options menu and a place
|
||
where you construct your flowchart (if you are going to play a full game).
|
||
Choose a room to go to by jumping from platform to platform and then walking
|
||
off the edge onto the room name you want. It'll turn inverse, then you go
|
||
stand on the clear platform and jump up. This will take you to the room you
|
||
selected. Don't select PROG as a room. If you do type CTRL-F to correct
|
||
your mistake.
|
||
|
||
Flowcharting: This is the controlling factor of the game and is important to
|
||
winning a game. The better you flowchart the better Efficency Rating you'll
|
||
receive. To start flowcharting jump on the PROG space. Then keeping in mind
|
||
that your goal is to take 1 to 6 bytes through the computer [keyboard, ram,
|
||
disk] you need to make a flow chart.
|
||
|
||
example for a 1 char. word example for a 6 char. word
|
||
|
||
KEYBOARD LOOP
|
||
RAM KEYBOARD
|
||
IF-THEN IF-THEN
|
||
DISK RAM
|
||
DISK
|
||
IF-THEN
|
||
LOOPEND 6
|
||
|
||
Many types of flowcharts are possible. The loops are needed for words with
|
||
more than one character. To make a loop jump on LOOP, to end a loop jump on
|
||
LOOP again and then input how many (1-6). The purpose of the IF-THEN is to
|
||
check the status of the Power and the Clock which go haywire quite often.
|
||
If the power or the clock fail then bytes won't by handled correctly. You
|
||
have to use good stategy when placing the IF-THEN statements in the
|
||
flowchart. If you make a mistake on the entry of an option of your flowchart
|
||
CTRL-D will delete it.
|
||
|
||
KEYBOARD: [room with 8 vines hanging down] Go up one of the vines and jump on
|
||
the button in the center. In the upper left hand corner will be the char.
|
||
you are trying to get through the keyboard and in the upper right is it's
|
||
hexidecimal representation. 8 balls should have appeared at the top of the
|
||
vines, these are the bits that form your letter. Push all the bits to the
|
||
bottom of the vines. When you have down this they will leave. You should
|
||
leave now by jumping through the tube at the lower right. Repair breaks in
|
||
the lines by climbing over them.
|
||
|
||
RAM: [room with bits falling like rain] Run to the right avoiding the falling
|
||
pulses, double back through the chip and jump on the rope at the left.At the
|
||
top there are four buttons to jump on. The one on the far left is the power
|
||
switch---don't jump on that. The up and down arrow move the tube up & down.
|
||
The tube should start at the top for the first byte. The --> button will
|
||
start loading the byte into RAM. The end of the byte will emerge from the
|
||
tube and Willy has to go down there and pull it out.
|
||
Cool down the heatsink with the fan (Hex Luther carries this heat lamp
|
||
that looks like an upside down lightbulb). Demagnetize Hex's magnet w/ your
|
||
anti-magnet. Mop up water that drips from Hex's water can. Catch static with
|
||
the thing that looks like a Devo hat.
|
||
Note: Failure to neutralize any of Hex's tricks will be damaging to your
|
||
data. If Hex jumps on the power switch hurry up there and turn it on again.
|
||
After pulling the byte all the way out it's character will appear. You can
|
||
leave at any time by jumping into the tube you came from.
|
||
|
||
DISK DRIVE: [room with a disk] Start the drive by jumping on the button. Then
|
||
jump on the read/write head (it's hanging over the disk). Stay on the head
|
||
until a small orange spot appears on the disk. This means your byte has been
|
||
saved. Again Hex Luther is hear to bother you, all the tools work the same.
|
||
This time you must stop him from over heating the drive with his heat lamp.
|
||
|
||
POWER: [room that reminds you of J-Bird] Turn all the disks to orange by
|
||
avioding all the pulses. The toolbox will make Willy invincible for about
|
||
five seconds.
|
||
|
||
CTRL-P lets you program your own screen using hexidecimal code. The first
|
||
four pads (left side) can be programmed by typing 0-F, the next four are
|
||
programmed the same way (right side).
|
||
|
||
X= OFF 0=ON 0= 0 0 0 0 8= X 0 0 0 CTRL-P will return you to
|
||
1= 0 0 0 X 9= X 0 0 X the game.
|
||
2= 0 0 X 0 A= X 0 X 0
|
||
3= 0 0 X X B= X 0 X X CTRL-N will show you all the
|
||
4= 0 X 0 0 C= X X 0 0 levels using the arrow keys.
|
||
5= 0 X 0 X D= X X 0 X
|
||
6= 0 X X 0 E= X X X 0
|
||
7= 0 X X X F= X X X X
|
||
|
||
CLOCK: When the clocks goes haywire, you've got to reset it. To do this, jump
|
||
from level to level, avoiding the pulses running through the lines. Once you
|
||
get to the top, run up one of the spokes at either end of the clock and jump
|
||
on the huge button. To leave, jump back down the levels and out the tube.
|
||
|
||
EFFICIENCY RATING: You'll be evaluated at the end of the game. Many facters
|
||
make up your score (1-64) like: time of play, whether your data gets through
|
||
or not, the status of the program and the clock. Your name will be saved to
|
||
disk if you are in the top 8 players of all time.
|
||
|
||
NOTE: This is a great program for Mockingboard users. It features music, sound
|
||
effects, and speech.
|
||
|
||
Button (0) jumps and picks up objects. Button (1) drops things.
