Collector's Issue # 1 "Lance Stone: Trouble At The Woz" trial copy.
This set contains the first 1/3 of the fantastic new limited edition issue # 1
of HyperComix "Lance Stone: Trouble at the Woz". You'll soon be able to see
why the New York Times recently called Lance "A SUPERHERO TO COLLECT", and why
Business Week says "Its cliff-hanger ending leaves you itching for more."
This trial edition requires an IBM or compatible AT with a VGA monitor, 640k of
RAM and a hard drive. A mouse is highly recommended. Supports Sound Blaster.
Once "Lance Stone: Trouble at the Woz" is installed on your hard drive you're
ready to enter 21st century Los Angeles with our unlikely hero.
Lance, a shy but handsome computer graphics artist, unwittingly becomes
involved in a vast plan by a ruthless power from another planet to steal the
very lifeforce of a living being. Assimilated into society, the outworlder's
insidious objective is interplanetary genocide. All the while, Lance
unknowingly carries within him the secret that can either save or destroy the
galaxy. The plot is filled with action and intrigue, leading to a suspenseful
ending!
HyperComix represents the next generational step in the art of comic books.
Strictly following the artistic conventions of traditional paper comic books,
HyperComix is distinguished by several unique features including sound
effects, spot animation, and branching plot lines which allow the reader to
follow the story from different points of view!
If you love computers and comic books take a while to step out of the present
and into the not-so-distant future with Lance Stone!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTRUCTIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To install LANCE STONE: TROUBLE AT THE WOZ from a floppy disk type 'INSTALL'
at the prompt followed by [Enter].
To run LANCE STONE: TROUBLE AT THE WOZ get into the STONE directory on your
hard drive type and type LS01D at the prompt, then press [Enter].
At this point the opening screen will appear giving you a choice of two
options:
1) Continuous mode
2) Interactive mode
Pushing the '1' key will put you in continuous mode which, in effect, gives
you little control over the "page turning" process. The story will move along
at its own pace until the story branches (we'll get to this in a minute) or
ends. This mode is recommended for a demonstration or for those without a
mouse.
Hitting the '2' key at the opening screen will activate the interactive mode.
This mode is recommended if you want the true feel of a comic book. It gives
you the most control over the "page turning" process and allows you to easily
enter the branching plot line section of the book.
There are six icons on the bottom of the screen for controlling the action.
Clicking on the one on the far left with your mouse arrow will let you exit
the program immediately and return to DOS. The one next to it will return to
the top of the page. The double arrows facing left will return you to the
beginning of the book or the last plot branch. The single arrow facing left
will take you back to the previous page. Click on the single arrow facing
right and you'll move ahead one page. Clicking on the double arrows facing
right and will move you ahead to the next plot branch or the end of the book.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLOT BRANCHES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plot branches are points in the story where you may leave the main story line
and see the action from a different perspective. In this trial version there
is only one plot branch. During the story a small "diamond" icon will appear
in the bar on the bottom of the screen and begin to flash. At this point, if
you want to view the "branch", you would click on the diamond with your mouse
arrow (you've got to be quick, though or it will disappear and continue on
with the main story). Plot branches are just one of the many unique features
of HyperComix which differentiates it from regular comic books.
