[ Introduction: ]
The Kingdom of Bovinia was about to crown the new king
when the evil Bob stole the Bovine Staff and claimed him self
ruler.
BOB's reign has left Bovinia in ruins. Taxes are high.
The economy is falling apart. Bribes and blackmail rule
the countryside.
You have received a secret summons by the former King to
defeat BOB and restore power to the rightful ruler.
He offers you his last 50 gold pieces and the only name he
knows that might be able to help you.... Gandolf..?...
The rest of the story delevelops as you play.... that's the whole
idea with role playing games... right?
[ Object of the Game: ]
You are to find BOB and defeat him in an all-out battle
for Bovinia. The first player to complete certain events,
finds and kills BOB, wins the game.
Beware if you find BOB right away....
As you move from Icon to Icon (block to block) you should
use the LOOK button to seach for items and clues.
When you quit... the game will remember where you were
last. But be careful.. other players can fight you when
you are offline (not playing). If you have enough Gold,
you can stay at one of the Inns. Here, other players can
not attack you.
>>>>>> Most importantly, talk to the bartenders in the city,
they are full of information if you know what to ask.
You accepted to type in responses to the bartender
through your keyboard (not your mouse). You can type
the word "LEAVE" to exit from a conversation with a
bartender. You can enter the words "HINT" or "HELP"
or "?" to get hints on what to ask the bartender.
The bartender has the ability to tell you everything
you need to know about the game. BUT... you must
figure out what to ask him on your own. Just use
a little common sense in your thinking and you should
be able to get anything out of the bartender.
[ Weapons: ] page 2
Wooden Club -Least Powerful
Dagger
Mace
Long Sword
Battle Sword -Most Powerful
Magic Bow - Ultimate Power
You can carry 5 weapons. But you can only use one at a time,
>** meaning, when you find a weapon you must select which weapon to use
(make your active weapon); otherwise you fight with your hands.
If you get into a Battle with another player and you lose,
the other player can take any of your weapons. You can find a few
weapons laying around. You can always buy weapons in a city if
you have enough Gold.
[ Armor: ]
Helmet -|-Least Protective
Sheild |
Armor -|
Steel Helmet -|-Most Protective
Steel Shield |
Steel Armor -|
You can use (carry) 3 pieces of armor at all times. Full battle
gear consists of a Helmet, a Shield, and an Armor suit. You can mix
and match between the the Steel and the Non-Steel armor. Just like
with weapons, if you are in a fight against another player and you
lose, the other player can take your armor.
Armor can be found laying around. You can also buy armor in a city.
[ Player Levels: ]
Skill: You start out at Zero. The only way to gain skill
is through battle against other players or against BOB's
monstrous warriors. If you defeat another player you'll
gain 3 skill points. If you defeat a monstrous villan
you will gain 2 skill points.
Health: is on a 100% scale. You start at 100%. You lose a
fight when your health drops below 25% during a battle.
You can regain health by finding bread (5 health points) or
by going to the Doc in a city, or purchase bread from
the market. There is only one special way to get your
health above 100%....
With a higher skill level, you can fight more aggressively
and find more items.
page 3
Strength: Your strength depends upon what armor you have
and which weapon you currently have active. When you do
an Inventory of your Items by select [ I ], the game will
calculate your current strenght rating.
Realize you will be fighting with your hands unless you
select [ X ] to change you current weapon... as you change
weapons your cureent strength rating will change. So you
may want to know what you current strength is before
selecting [ Y ]es to a fight.
[ E-mail: ]
The World of BOB has a built-in E-Mail feature!
You can write 17 line messages to other players. You
can keep messages in your mailbox or delete (destroy)
them. You can instantly reply to any message by clicking
the Reply key. Remember to Destroy messages you do not need.
If you are online playing BOB, and someone sends you a
message, you will hear a sound and see the mail flag
on your Status Bar. If someone writes to you when you're
not playing BOB (shame on you), then the next time you enter
the game, you will be notified at the Welcome back screen.
If you do not know a players name, just hit return to
get a pick list of names to choose from.
[ Battles: ]
All battles are fought until one of the warrior's health
drops below 11%. If you have Won the battle, then you
get a chance to steal your opponent's items. If another
player wins, then you are done playing for the day.
If you win against another player, your skill level
increases by 3. Skill level increases by 2 in any other
fight. You are always given the choice to FIGHT (Y/N)?
when you run into another warrior. If you are given this
choice and you select Yes, then if the other warrior is
another active player (online), you have the choice of
sending that player a one line message before Battle.
Remember the art of war... all battles are won before
they are fought.
Once you say [ Y ]es to a fight both players ( or Villian)
gets to make one attempt at a hit. After each attempt the
users have a choice of whether to continue the battle (Y/N).
[ The World's of BOB: ]
There are 6 Worlds in BOB. Each is 16x8.. 128 blocks. Each
world has a region name to help you keep track of yourself
Each world can contain up to 30 sub-worlds. A sub-world
is exactly that, a world under the world. Each sub-world
is 5x5.. 25 blocks. I'll bet that most of the good stuff
is hiding in sub-worlds. When you execute a LOOK command
on a world block and there is a sub-world under that block,
you will automatically drop into that sub-world. You can
type L (Leave) to exit the sub-world at any time. Each
World (region) has 5 cities. Use the LOOK command to enter
the city. Use the L again to leave the city.
Hint: Bartenders are full of information. If you ask the
right questions or have enough Gold.
[ Status Bar: ]
You'll figure it out.
Just Remember that the <cr> Button is for redrawing the
screen or can be used a Return.
