You have the option of customizing the look and feel of this door by changing text and/or color codes in this file! READ THIS!!! VERY IMPORTANT!!! If you change ANY line with a colon (:) after it, the door WILL HANG! DO NOT change them! I have included a backup of this file in the archive for people who don't believe me. Called TEXT.BAK The only things you don't want to mess with are lines with a colon on the end of it and the actual option letters in the menu's. Option letters being the letters in between the brackets []. EXAMPLE: [`bright magenta`H`magenta`] End call (hangup) ^ The H here is what actually makes the option work. If you change it, the program will STILL look for an H, NOT the letter you replace it with! Also, prices will not be changed in the program by changing the text display. You can change anything else to your liking, but keep in mind that it needs to follow the games' play so it makes sense or the players will get confused. I recommend playing the game and getting used to how it works before you attempt to change any of the text. All screen displays begin with a descriptive title ending with a colon and end with the same title followed by "end" and a colon. For example, "text:" would be the beginning of a screen display and "textend:" would be the end of it. You can edit everything in between the titles to edit that screen. BE VERY CAREFUL not to add text anywhere with a colon after it! You could accidentally be replacing a title somewhere! This will produce unexpected results! YOU CAN however, change the colors without affecting anything but the way it looks! The following explains exactly how to do that. Door color options. These options specify the various text colors that will be used by the door if ANSI or AVATAR graphics modes are available. Colors are specified in the format: {Bright} {Flashing} [Foreground Color] on [Background Color] Where foreground and background colors are one of: Black Blue Green Cyan Red Magenta Yellow / Brown White / Grey The ` (the key next to the 1 with the ~ on top) MUST be used immediately in front of and following any color codes or it will not work. EXAMPLE: `flashing bright blue on black` or `red` Color codes do not use ANY space on the screen when displayed... Any changes made to this file in future versions will be listed at the bottom of the file for ease of importation if you choose to modify anything... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PROGRAM TEXT STARTS HERE mainmenu: `bright blue`You're standing on the teleporter pad looking at a strange painting on the side of the building. You can't see the whole thing because half the building is missing from what looks like a fairly large explosion.

You wonder what would come out if you sliced him open with your pen laser... `magenta`[`bright magenta`F`magenta`] Ask him about the future [`bright magenta`P`magenta`] Ask him about the past [`bright magenta`N`magenta`] Ask him about the present [`bright magenta`S`magenta`] Smash Ralph's face [`bright magenta`Q`magenta`] Quit to Main Menu RALPHEND: looklove: `bright blue`You're feeling lonely so you decide to check out the local action. There are an awful lot of people in here... should be a piece of cake to find some company. What is your preference? `magenta`[`bright magenta`M`magenta`] Male [`bright magenta`F`magenta`] Female [`bright magenta`N`magenta`] Never mind lookloveend: lovemale: `green`It doesn't take you long to spot a great looking guy checking you out. You smile with a come get me look. He smiles back and saunters over to the bar. After a couple brief minutes of conversation, you head up to a room where you can get some privacy. He turns out to be the greatest lover you've ever had! After many hours and many orgasms you wake up alone and head back to the bar. lovemaleend: lovefemale: `green`You wander around the bar looking for a beautiful woman to spend some time with. After a few minutes, you see a gorgeous blond sitting all by herself. She see's you comming and gives you a shy, seductive smile. You walk up, and without a word, you take her into your arms and plant a kiss on her lips. You feel her legs giving out with a slight trembling in her breast. She gasps for air and whispers "take me now..." You oblige her immediately and take her to a room. She's the sweetest, most fantastic woman you have ever been with. After many hours of passion and sweat, she tells you she must go and leaves before you can stop her... You head back to the bar. lovefemaleend: nocondoms: `bright red`You don't have any protection! Are you SURE you want to do this? `magenta`[`bright magenta`Y`magenta`] Yes [`bright magenta`N`magenta`] No nocondomsend: vd: `green`You wish you had been more careful the next day...

He grabs you by the neck with his massive fist and lifts you off the floor with one hand. A deep rumbling builds from within him until it explodes into a terrifying roar... After a moment, you are able to breath again and your heart slows down to a liveable rate. He squints his beady blood red eyes and stares at you, waiting for your next move. `magenta`[`bright magenta`H`magenta`] Hit him again [`bright magenta`G`magenta`] Give up hitralph1end: hitralph2: `bright red`You swiftly pull a Noregian stealth blade and try to slice his throat but his arms are too massive and get in the way. You hear a sickening crunch as Ralph squeezes your neck and crushes every bone and muscle. You realize, just as the life is leaving you, that you made a horribly bad decision... hitralph2end: hitralphgiveup: `green`You try to speak but all you manage to do is open your mouth and gurgle a little. Ralph releases his grip just enough for you to choke out an appology of some sort... You realize that Ralph is a little too much for you at this time as he effortlessly tosses you to the ground. hitralphgiveupend: killralph: `green`You merely point your finger at Ralph and think about the weapon firing at him. The end of your finger erupts a bright flash of purple light and totally envelopes Ralphs' body... He immediately transforms into his hideous original form and you turn away in disgust. Looking back, you see Ralph (or something that was Ralph) writhing in pain, a horrible spectacle of a grotesque alien death. It doesn't take long to dissolve him completely and you find yourself standing alone in the control room of the teleporter! `flashing bright red`You killed Ralph! You won the game! You now control the time transporter! killralphend: streets: `bright blue`You head out of the lighted and "safe" area of the city and into the dark alleys and deserted streets where the Nightcrawlers rule... The skin crawls up your back as you shiver with excitement and anticipation of the dangers you're about to face. `magenta`[`bright magenta`N`magenta`] North [`bright magenta`S`magenta`] South [`bright magenta`E`magenta`] East [`bright magenta`W`magenta`] West [`bright magenta`Q`magenta`] Chicken out `bright blue`Which way? streetsend: northbound: `bright blue`As you head north thru the deserted streets you notice a lingering stench that you hadn't noticed in the safe zone. You can't quite place it but your skin crawls with the distinct knowledge that it's the smell of death... You hear a moaning sound coming from the building on the right and continue on your way as quietly as possible... northboundend: southbound: `bright blue`The sound of a terrified woman screaming hysterically pierces the night as you head south. You hear the sound of something impacting her body and then the screaming stops abruptly, ending with a wierd gurgling sound... You have a sudden urge to run but you manage to continue on under control... southboundend: eastbound: `bright blue`You head east out of the safe zone and soon find yourself in an area that must have been what was once the wealthy side of town. There are large lots with huge houses that have gates and fences around them. It's obvious that no one has lived in them for years tho. You soon find yourself in a rural area with mansions on both sides of the wide road. Up ahead, on the top of a rise, you see a HUGE mansion with many spires and steep roofs jutting into the sky. It looks as if it's occupied with flickering light comming from several of the windows. You decide to investigate... eastboundend: westbound: `bright blue`As you head west you find it nearly impossible to make quick progress. The streets are covered with rubble from destroyed buildings and wrecked cars... You eventually come upon what looks like an impassable barrier but with some searching you find a route around it and continue on. westboundend: northsight: `bright blue`After traveling several miles, you find yourself at an intersection that has three sides completely blocked off. A dead end... turning to find another way, you are stopped by the sight of many Nightcrawlers blocking your exit. Fighting your way out is obvoiusly your only option... northsightend: northfight: fight again? `magenta`[`bright magenta`C`magenta`] Continue to fight [`bright magenta`G`magenta`] Get the hell out of here northfightend: southsight: `bright blue`You walk for miles but never find anything worth mentioning... You feel very weary and decide to head back. southsightend: eastsight: `bright blue`It takes you quite a while to reach the mansion but after many obstacles, you finally find yourself standing in the front courtyard. You take a couple steps toward the mansion when you suddenly feel a wierd molecular pull on your entire being. Kind of like the time transporter, but different... In an instant you find yourself in a cell-like room. You notice a funny smell and try to hold your breath but it's too late and the room fades to black as you pass out. eastsightend: eastdude: `bright blue`You're having a strange dream... a world with incredible machines and the most advanced weapons you've ever seen... something jostles you out of your dream... you suddenly bolt upright, eyes wide, scanning the area... you're on a cot, in the middle of what must be the living room of the huge mansion. In front of you is a table with a glass of some blueish liquid on it. A voice behind you says "Drink the walya, it will clear your mind". You spin around and leap in the direction of the voice, seeing a middle-aged man sitting about 10 feet behind you. Throwing a heel directly at his solar-plexus, your foot encounters a force field of some kind and you're knocked backward. The man smiles, and tells you not to be afraid. The trap you fell into is meant for the Nightcrawler Gang members and you are obviously not one of them... "For a price" he says, "I will give you information about a doctor who does weapon imbedding. It is expensive and you must be strong enough to survive the implant, but it will give you the power you need to kill Ralph...!" `magenta`[`bright magenta`A`magenta`] Ask for the info [`bright magenta`T`magenta`] Tell him to go to hell eastdudeend: nogoldeast: `green`You think twice before heading back to the dude's house without 10,000 gold pieces... nogoldeastend: dudeinfo: `bright blue`I need gold from the past... There is no more in this time period and I can't go back and get it myself so I need you to get me 10,000 gold pieces. For that, I will give you instructions on how to find the doctor in the future. Come back when you have gathered the gold... dudeinfoend: eastdudenot: `bright blue`The man chuckles, "Have it your way". eastdudenotend: eastgotgold: `bright blue`You head east to give the dude his gold so you can get the info for the future and get your implant. After walking for several miles, you feel the air quivering around you and a brilliant flash of light in front of you. The dude is standing on the street in front of you with a big grin on his face... "You have the gold!", he exclaims. You nod in the afirmative and hand him the sack of gold. He laughs and motions you closer. You advance a few feet and listen while he gives you the whereabouts of the doctor in the future. After he's sure you know what to do, he slaps you on the back and says "Good luck man! I don't know what the Doc's charging these days but I'm sure it'll be expensive! Have fun!" You step back with a sudden urge to shoot the asshole... "WHAT! I just risked my life to get you that gold! I have to pay for this implant now?!" He looks at you with a puzzled expression... "You didn't think it was free did you?", he laughs. Then, with another flash of light, he dissapears into the night... You're pissed, but you have nothing better to do than to find the Doc and see what he charges... eastgotgoldend: westsight: `bright blue`You notice some activity in one of the buildings. While you're trying to decide if you should get the hell out of here you here a shot and the ground in front of you explodes. You are blown back a few feet and the world fades to black around you... When you open your eyes you realize that you must have been out for only a few seconds. You see a huge dude approaching... `magenta`[`bright magenta`R`magenta`] Run [`bright magenta`F`magenta`] Fight westsightend: westsightdead: `bright blue`You come upon the dead, bleeding body of Garak... An eerie feeling comes over you and the sound of hundreds of angry people gets closer and closer as you listen. You decide that you'd better get out of here before they get here and rip you to shreds! The smell of the money pisses you off as you turn and run back to the edge of the safe zone... westsightdeadend: killgarak: `flashing bright red`You killed Garak! `green`You spin around, scanning the area. His followers are scattering, apparently scared of you. You decide that hanging around probably isn't a good idea, but you check out the building that Garak came from first and find a ton of cash stashed in a room! You grab as much as you can carry and head back to the safe zone... killgarakend: ranfight: `bright blue`You have a strange feeling that you're being watched, you quickly glance over your shoulder and see the jet black baseball cap of the Nightcrawler gang slip into a doorway. `magenta`[`bright magenta`R`magenta`] Run [`bright magenta`C`magenta`] Continue ranfightend: nowentro: `bright blue`You find yourself in a dark alley looking out on the building you saw at the teleporter... Walking out to the street side you see some lights off to the west so you head that direction. nowentroend: nowmainmenu: `bright blue`You are surprised at the number of people here but you quickly blend in with the mob and head into the center of what appears to be a huge mardi-gras of some sort... There are quite a few shops and businesses here. `magenta`[`bright magenta`B`magenta`] Bar [`bright magenta`M`magenta`] Motel [`bright magenta`P`magenta`] Pawn shop [`bright magenta`H`magenta`] Hit the streets [`bright magenta`R`magenta`] Restaurant [`bright magenta`W`magenta`] Waterfront [`bright magenta`A`magenta`] Aquarium [`bright magenta`Y`magenta`] Your stats [`bright magenta`E`magenta`] Eat some beef jerky [`bright magenta`S`magenta`] Savings & loan [`bright magenta`Q`magenta`] Quit this time period nowmainmenuend: pastmainmenu: `bright blue`The view in the doorway changes in front of you. I becomes a scene of magical beauty. The color of the trees and shrubs here seem so much more alive than you're used to! Everything seems to have a life of it's own. You're standing in a small meadow. Thru the trees you can see the back of a building that must be an inn or something... `magenta`[`bright magenta`I`magenta`] Lancelot's Inn [`bright magenta`M`magenta`] Mines [`bright magenta`W`magenta`] Woods [`bright magenta`D`magenta`] Dragon's Cave [`bright magenta`Q`magenta`] Quit this time period pastmainmenuend: mines: `bright blue`You head up the well worn trail toward the mines. On the way you pass many weary, would be miners... When you finally reach the mines, you realize that the pickings are going to be slim. But you're sure that with your brains you could find enough to make it worth your while. `magenta`[`bright magenta`M`magenta`] Mine some gold [`bright magenta`Q`magenta`] Quit the mines minesend: dragontrail: `bright blue`You see a barely traveled path leading up to the base of the mountains. There's a sign posted at the mouth of the trail hidden by overgrown brush. You examine the sign closer but you can only make out a couple of words... `flashing bright red` DANGER! Dragon's Lair! `bright blue`There a lot of other writing on the sign but you can't make out the words. You head up the trail mindless of the dangers you're about to face. You're more concerned about the fabulous treasure of gold you heard the dragon has hidden in it's lair! dragontrailend: dragoncave: `bright blue`After miles of brush, scaling small cliffs and streams you find yourself in front of a cave opening in the side of a mountain. Your heart starts racing with the knowledge that you've found the dragon's lair! Cautiously moving toward the entrance, you secretly hope the dragon is nowhere around... Just when you start to think you got lucky, you hear a deafening roar from within the bellows of the cave. `magenta`[`bright magenta`C`magenta`] Continue [`bright magenta`R`magenta`] Run for your life dragoncaveend: dragondead: `bright blue`After miles of brush, scaling small cliffs and streams you find yourself in front of a cave opening in the side of a mountain. Your heart starts racing with the knowledge that you've found the dragon's lair! Cautiously moving toward the entrance, you secretly hope the dragon is nowhere around... Then you see the dead, steaming body of the dragon, it's guts bubbling and hissing from the heat still present. A huge bubble of gas escapes from somewhere in the huge corpse and a overwhelming stench overcomes you and you nearly vomit from the reek. You wish you had killed it futher from the cave entrance as you stumble back... dragondeadend: dragonrun: `bright blue`Terror overwhelms you completely and you find yourself running headlong down the trail away from the dragon. You only hope no one see's you before you're able to regain your composure... dragonrunend: dragonkill: `bright yellow` *** `flashing bright red` You Killed the Golden Dragon! `bright yellow`*** `green`You are quite pleased with yourself as you realize that you have done what most could not! Rushing into the cave you haul as much gold as you can carry back to the transporter point. dragonkillend: woods: `bright blue`You enter the forest looking for some action and adventure... `magenta`[`bright magenta`H`magenta`] Hunt for stuff [`bright magenta`Q`magenta`] Quit the woods woodsend: inn: The inn is a small place with only a few people lingering around... `magenta`[`bright magenta`L`magenta`] Look for a fight [`bright magenta`O`magenta`] Order a drink (15 gold) [`bright magenta`Y`magenta`] Your stats [`bright magenta`E`magenta`] Eat some beef jerky [`bright magenta`Q`magenta`] Quit the inn innend: futuremainmenu: `bright blue`As you enter the future, you realize why no one has ever come back. The sky is blue again, and the city is bright and clean! People are flying around in strange looking soundless ships that seem to have no engine but are amazingly fast! You begin to think about not going back when a ship stops and a lady starts screaming, "TIME TRAVELER! KILL HIM!". You decide you had better get going or you won't be going back after all... `magenta`[`bright magenta`F`magenta`] Find the doctor [`bright magenta`Q`magenta`] Quit futuremainmenuend: futuredoc: The doc is a funny looking guy huge eyes that make him look like some comic book character. He has haphazard patches of hair that look like he's never combed it and baggy clothes. futuredocend: operation: `green`The doc puts you out with some kind of electronic gadget and you wake up, after what seems like only a minute with the doctor saying your all set. You can't believe it's done but you look at the end of your forefinger and see a small slit. The doc tells you not to shoot yourself in the face and explains how to use it. operationend: nightcrawlercont: `green`You decide to ignore the obvious and continue on your way as if nothing was out of the ordinary. You manage to take a few steps when a man wearing a jet black baseball cap steps onto the sidewalk directly in front of you. He smiles a big gap toothed grin. `magenta`[`bright magenta`R`magenta`] Run [`bright magenta`F`magenta`] Fight nightcrawlercontend: nightcrawlerrun: `green`You decide that you had better git while the gittin's good and begin running toward what looks like a more populated district.

Just when you think you are about to die of terror and exhaustion, you round a corner and enter a lighted area. nightcrawlerrunend: restaurant: `bright blue`The restaurant is a quaint establishment with a nice atmosphere.

It's better kept than anywhere else in the zone that you can remember. Immediately in front of you is a huge glass underwater window looking out on dirty green water with absolutely nothing alive floating in it. `magenta`[`bright magenta`T`magenta`] Take a tour [`bright magenta`Q`magenta`] Leave the Aquarium aquamainend: aquatour: `green`You tag along with the tour that is just starting in the hopes of finding one of your enemies here. The tour doesn't take long since many species of fish are now extinct. There's a few mutant breeds and some of the old ones that managed to survive the polution, but nothing real exciting... aquatourend: undermain: `bright blue`Entering the underground, the entrance widens out into an area looking every bit as much like a regular city street.

You had no idea that there was this many people in the safe zone, much less in an underground casino! It is a lavish place with fountains and high ceilings.

There's one off to the right with an empty chair. As you walk over you check out the other three people playing against the house. One is a great looking blond woman with stacks of chips in front of her. The other two are men that don't look too happy. Probably loosing to the blond, you chuckle to yourself. You take a seat and place your bet. blackjackend: waterfront: `bright blue`The waterfront is a dank, musty, smelly warf. It has the look of what might have been a very busy, active place at one time, but the only activity here now is a dirty bum pukeing his guts out at the end of a pier. `magenta`[`bright magenta`T`magenta`] Talk to the bum [`bright magenta`B`magenta`] Beat the crap out of him [`bright magenta`Q`magenta`] Leave the waterfront waterfrontend: bumdescription: `green`Tall, burly, his mane of hair disordered, his tangled beard flecked with unidentifiable bits and chunks of matter too disgusting to contemplate, the bum is an awful sight. Where his beard does not conceal it, his face is gnarled by scars, as if he had been poked and slashed with a white-hot soldering iron. His large nose is hooked and crooked, his lips spotted with weeping sores. Upon his dark and diseased gums, his teeth perched like broken marble toombstones. bumdescriptionend: beatupbum: `green`You decide to take your aggravations out on the poor, defenseless bum. You lay into him with a front heel kick and connect with perfect precision to his jaw. There's a horrible crunching sound and blood spurts everywhere.

Suddenly you realize that you can't remember where the Underground was... beatupbumend: healbum: `green`You explain to the doctor that it was an accident and that you would like to take care of the poor bum. The doc looks at you warily but agrees to fix the bums jaw anyway, for $1000. After a couple hours the bum has a nice brace on his jaw and is able to mumble semi-intelligible words. healbumend: bumpulp: `red`You realize that while you were beating the bum into a pulp you broke his jaw and he can't talk.

You are amazed at the size of this establishment as you look around. There must be at least 500 people in here! drinkend: motel: `bright blue`You enter the dark entrance to the motel, hoping that no one saw you. As you walk toward the front desk you have to push your way past a couple necking in the middle of the hallway. There's a sign on the wall that says: `bright red`╔═════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ `flashing bright yellow`All rooms - $50.00 `bright red`║ ║ ║ ╚═════════════════════════╝ `magenta`[`bright magenta`G`magenta`] Get a room `magenta`[`bright magenta`B`magenta`] Break in [`bright magenta`Q`magenta`] Never mind motelend: breakin: `green`You sneak in the back door and make it into the hallway unnoticed. Pulling out your lock-pick tool you swiftly pick the lock to the room. Sneaking the door open and closing it behind you without a sound, you breath a sigh of relief that you haven't been seen. breakinend: busted: `green`Suddenly the door bursts open and you realize that you were premature in breathing a sigh of relief... There's about 10 cops rushing in the door. `bright red` ON THE FLOOR WITH YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK!

Later, in jail, a huge guy smelling like he just came out of a sewer gets tossed in the same cell as you. He looks at you and smiles, licking his lips. It takes you a while to get to sleep, but after a couple hours you drift off. Sometime around 4:00am you wake up in time to see a blurry flash and feel a heavy blow on your head. jailend: bustfight: `green`You scream the warriors scream as you turn to fight your last fight. You only manage to break one cops jaw and then you feel your body being riddled with bullets... bustfightend: locations: `green` Locations = 1,11 - North 2,12 - South 3,13 - East 4,14 - West 5,15 - Underground 6,16 - Waterfront 7,17 - Aquarium 8,18 - Casino 9,19 - Entering present 10 - Restaurant bathroom 20 - Bar bathroom 101 thru 120 - Motel rooms locationsend: userfight: `green`You launch your attack with a flying round house... userfightend: gamehelp: *** Pike Place game help *** `bright blue`The object of the game is to take over the time transporter... The only way to do that is to kill Ralph! There are three time zones to enter. Past, Present and Future... The best place to start the game is in the present. Exploring around, you will find many places to go. You can get into fights, go to the underground and gamble, buy weapons, etc. To kill Ralph you'll need a special weapon that can be obtained in the future. You need to find the dude who can give you instructions on how to get around in the future before you'll be able to go there. When you enter the past, your weapon (if any) is transformed into the equivalent spell power and your available ammo is used for the number of spells you can cast. Once you have accumulated enough gold, you can then buy the information to get into the future and find the doctor who will do the special weapon implant to kill Ralph. Good luck! Some things to remember: You can see [Y]our settings and [E]at beef jerky from just about anywhere, even though you don't see a Y or E on the menu. If you don't stay in the motel, you are randomly placed somewhere in the game. Other players can find you if they go to the same place you have been placed. They have a 50/50 chance of seeing you when they pass by. Don't spend all your money right away. You'll need it in the beginning. Beef jerky is a health restorer. You will accumulate some thru out the game. If you run out, you can order drinks at the bar or the inn or you can order meals at the restaurant. If you win a battle, your health is restored to 100% automatically! If you beat up the bum at the waterfront, you'll be missing out on some- thing you don't want to miss out on... Of course, if you do beat him up you can always pay for the doc to fix him up. gamehelpend: storyhelp: `bright blue`It is the year 2010. Gangs have taken over most of the cities and forced law and order into small pockets called safe zones. A being who calls himself Ralph has brought a time transporter to earth and is giving access to time travel to just about anyone who wants it. Unfortunately many people have miss-used this access and have caused major problems with the time line. The very existence of earth is threatened. You must find a way to kill him and stop time travelers from causing more problems. storyhelpend: ralphhelp: `bright blue`No one knows exactly where Ralph came from. It's rumored that he's from a distant planet somewhere in the Gama quadrant. He controls the time trans- porter and threatens the very existence of life on earth due to his uncaring use of time travel. Rifts in time have caused major catastrofies and if someone doesn't stop him earth will simply implode on itself and will cease to exist. ralphhelpend: colorhelp: `bright blue`No help is available yet... if you get color going in your name or in a message, have fun playing with it! A color definition will be available in the next version of Pike Place. colorhelpend: ralphnowhelp: `bright blue`The year is 2010. Pike Place market, in Seattle, is now a safe zone with the entire area surrounding it controlled by the Nightcrawler gang. There's an underground realm where you can gamble in the casino and find illegal weapons. You'll need to find the entrance and get the password to get in. ralphnowhelpend: ralphpasthelp: `bright blue`The transporter has been locked on a time in the earth's past when dragon's and knights walked the earth. It is a time when gold was rich in the hills and life was free and easy. ralphpasthelpend: ralphfuturehelp: `bright blue`No one knows anything about the future since no one has ever returned from there... ralphfuturehelpend: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CHANGES since ver 1.0 Changed the "BBS Terminal" option in the main, bar and casino menu's to "Terminal Connection"...
