- S5 DUNGEON v1.1
- ----------------
-
-
- Introduction.
- -----------------
-
- Dungeon is a 3d graphical monster shoot-em-up.
- The object of the game is to search each dungeon
- level collecting energy orbs. When these are all
- collected you are able to enter the teleport and
- beam to the next level. Each level, however, is
- inhabited by nasty monsters intent on killing you.
- You have a choice. Run away, or blow them away
- with your shotgun!
- The monsters are quite persistent and can creep
- up from behind or from the side as well as straight
- ahead. They can't harm you if they are diagonally
- away from you. You can hear them coming and
- there are also monster attack indicators around
- the playscreen indicating the direction the
- monster attacks are coming from. On the right side
- of the screen is an automap showing your direction,
- current position and areas explored.
- The game ends when your strength reaches zero.
- This only goes up when you start a new level so
- keep an eye on this. Your shotgun ammo also goes
- down, but collecting an energy orb will increase it.
- The teleport looks like an electric field and can
- only be stepped into when all the orbs are collected.
- Killing monsters may take several shots depending
- on the monster strength chosen using the options.
-
-
- Options.
- ----------
-
- When the game starts the menu screen appears
- and presents you with several menus. Most are
- self explanatory. Some menus are only available to
- registered users. Unregistered users can only play
- the first dungeon (There are twenty levels). Also,
- they cannot jump to other levels using the code words
- given during the game. Orb positions
- are also fixed, and will be the same each time. All
- the other options are available as normal.
- Registered users can enter level codes to play where
- they left off previously. Also they can
- randomise orb positions making levels more interesting
- when played again.
- All users can increase the number of monsters their
- strength and speed, but be prepared for a tough game!
- Upon registering, you will receive your own personal
- access code which will free the whole game from all
- restrictions.
-
-
- Control Keys.
- -----------------
-
- Use the up and down cursor keys for forward and
- back.
-
- Left and right cursor keys to turn sideways.
-
- Fn key plus cursor left or right to step sideways.
-
- Spacebar to fire the gun.
- (Shotgun range is two places.)
-
-
- Esc or menu quits to main menu.
-
- You can also control the whole game using the pen.
- Just tap the on screen direction arrows or fire
- to make the appropriate move.
- This can be sensitive, so watch for double moves.
- With a bit of practise I think this method works
- very well and becomes second nature.
-
-
- Installing.
- -------------
-
- The game consists of the following files.
-
- Dungeon.app
- Dungeon.dat
- Gun
- Attack
- Far
- Wall
-
- Readme.txt
-
- These files should have unzipped into a directory
- called Dungeon. Simply drag this whole directory
- onto your Psion`s SYSTEM/APPS directory using explorer.
-
- You should end up with the directory
-
- C:\system\apps\dungeon
-
- on your Psion containing all the game files.
-
- If you have any extra memory, you can also install it
- on your D drive using the above method.
-
- Dungeon will also create a small file in your System
- directory when first run for registration purposes.
-
- When installed, Dungeon will add an icon to the extras
- bar. Just select this to run the program.
-
- Updating
- --------
- When updating from version 1.0, just replace the files
- Dungeon.app and Dungeon.dat
-
-
- Registering.
- ---------------
-
- This program, and all shareware, takes a lot of time
- and effort to write. If you like it please register.
- Software authors will be much more likely to continue
- writing if they know their work is appreciated.
-
- Dungeon registration is 10 pounds payable by English
- cheque, Euro cheque in sterling, cash sterling or English
- Postal order. Foreign cheques or currency are okay,
- but must be made for the equivalent of 15 pounds
- sterling to cover bank charges.
