- About the game:
- As I've said before, there really is a Quest I, I wrote it in a very
- old version of Basic (2.1), so I can't use it in anything. I will, however,
- one day translate and release it. As for Quest ][, you are, . . . well . . .
- you're YOU. You travel back about 240 years, in an attempt to rescue a lunatic
- and his beautiful daughter. Why?, nothin' good on T. V. You move around in
- Europe, going to cities, and the like. You fight various types of enemies, and
- you do all kinds of fancy things. The oppertunity may arise to do very strange
- things, such as take off all your clothes and dance on the floor naked. While
- this may seem useless, sometimes it may prove vital. You cannot save games in
- the unREGISTERed version, but if you do REGISTER, you will get much more for
- your dollar than if you were to buy from any other software company. The
- unREGISTERed version is primarily text, while the REGISTERED version will
- contain more graphical scenes. Also, included in the REGISTERED version will
- be information on a saved game editor, and an editor for changing the
- specifications of the game (city names, enemy types, enemy strengths, etc.).
- More info on the REGISTERed version below. You better appreciate this game, it
- took me four months to make, it just kept getting more and more complex, and
- began to take longer and longer but now it's FINISHED, well no it's not, but
- soon.
-
- A few instructions for you idiots out there (the rest of you can play no--
- well, you ALL are idiots, so read on). When the game starts up, enter your
- name (you know, what your mother calls you, and I don't mean stupid). You
- start out by travelling through time, but be careful, it can disorient you if
- you're not used to it. You wake up in a room, and have to move on. The first
- thing you will encounter is a fight. You start out with 14 hitpoints, and 10
- strength. To increase your hitpoints either camp out in the woods, or go to a
- town and stay at the motel. Staying at the motel increases your hitpoints more
- than sleeping on the ground does, not to mention the fact that when you camp,
- you may be attacked or robbed. To move around, either use the arrow keys or
- press <m> (all of this is covered in the game). When you are at a town, try
- all the doors, just <k>nock first!! I don't know about you, but if a stranger
- barged into my house without knocking, I'd call the police too! Talk to
- everybody, you can ask them general questions like, "Have you seen any
- strangers recently?" You may get useful information, you may get bogus info,
- but asking them direct questions will usually result in off the wall answers.
- It is important that you visit every town, you never know where Trepto and his
- daughter may be. When asked for distance to move, if you wish not to move in a
- certain direction, just leave the line blank. Be careful of townspeople and
- shop owners, they can be crooked and sometimes gip you (or even blatently rob
- you). If you want, you can attack a townsperson by typing <a> within 1 space
- from them. I wouldn't count on the police for much, the only decent thing
- they'll do is file a missing person's report for you. When you are given
- information from anyone, be weary, they have been known to misrepresent the
- facts. It is best to talk to everybody before deciding on a certain course of
- action, I would say save before anything major, but this is the unREGISTERed
- version, and you CAN'T save!
-
- Special town instructions:
- Just read the help.
-
- If you find any bugs or problems, report them to me. It is imperative that you
- tell me exactly what the error message was, where in the game you were, and
- what YOU did immediately before the error. I will then fix (if it's REALLY
- broken!), it and send you a repaired copy.
-
- Benefits of REGISTERing:
- First and foremost, you get more graphical interphace, more towns to
- visit, more enemies, and more idiot-friendly conversation scenes. Saving and
- loading features, as well as the ability to find items along the way. Also,
- you will be given the opportunity to buy more items at the shops. VERY limited
- magic power may be bestowed upon you too, like sleep, transport, and protect.
- Maps, in the REGISTERed version, you may have the option to view the map with
- your specific location highlighted, and the possibly the option of tracing your
- movements. PERHAPS I MAY even add sound card compatibility for true-to-life
- sounds, MAYBE! Plus information on purchasing a save game editor, a map
- editor, and a general editor which edits things like enemy types, strengths,
- and towns peoples names. The towns will be larger and more detailed. There
- will be all kinds of FUN stuff, ie. the Lincoln Monument, island towns, and
- railroad towns. Also in the REGISTERed version, you will be able to buy train
- tickets and travel to many of the towns in France and England. I dare say
- that so far, the best new feature is saving and loading games. During the
- testing processes thus far, it is REALLY convenient.
