~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ System Requirements: To play this game you need at least: 384k memory MS-DOS 2.1 One disk drive Any monitor (color or mono) How to play the game: `Sir Guy Gallant & The Deadly Warning' is a mystery/adventure game set in mid-17th century England, on the property of Gallant Hall. The player takes on the role of Sir Guy Gallant, a cavalier-knight of that era. As Sir Guy you must discover clues as to who killed your father, the late Sir James. These clues are scattered about the scene of the crime (Gallant Hall). Some clues may be obvious, others may not, while others may just be thrown in to put you on a false scent, or maybe not. It's up to you to decide! Once all of the appropriate clues have been found you will know who the killer is. Then of course you can solve the mystery! But that's not all! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To get through the game you must enter COMMANDS for the game to follow. They should be typed in this format: [VERB] [NOUN] [PREPOSITION] [NOUN] For Example: EXAMINE THE RING {This would give you info about a ring if it were present, carried, or worn by the player.} EXAMINE RING {Could also be used if you want to save typing!} Should there be more than one kind of the same noun (i.e., a gold ring, and a brass ring) you could use this command: EXAMINE THE BRASS RING {This would give you info about the brass ring only.} If you do not specify which noun (i.e., gold or brass) and there are more than one of that type item present, the game will ask you which one you mean. All you need do is type in the describing ADJECTIVE and press [ENTER]. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Other simple command examples are: UNLOCK THE DOOR WITH THE SILVER KEY NORTH GET ALL {Allows you to pick up all carriable items in a room, depending upon how much you can carry} If you want to make the most of the number of turns you have in the game, I suggest compound commands using AND or THEN, punctuation marks [,] or [;]. For Example: UNLOCK THE DOOR WITH THE SILVER KEY THEN OPEN IT CLOSE THE DOOR AND LOCK IT WITH THE SILVER KEY EXAMINE THE SILVER PIN, PUT ON THE SILVER PIN GET THE TORCH AND LIGHT IT WITH THE MATCHES; CLIMB THE ROPE THEN NORTH, SOUTH AND DOWN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you have trouble getting the game to accept your commands. Simplify your sentences as much as possible. You shouldn't have much problem if your commands are clearly worded and correctly spelled. Some game creators think that figuring out the correct commands to use in the game is part of the fun! I AM NOT ONE OF THEM!! I've played a few of these type games. Typing in command after command trying to get the game to accept one of them, became so frustrating and tiring to my fingers that most of the time I just gave up! To this end I decided that I would include a complete list of all VERBS that are used in my games. It is located at the end of these instructions. So once you know what action (VERB) to take, adding the nouns are no problem (since they are stated in the game). Function & Cursor keys: The function keys (f1 thru f10) are set up to take the place of the most commonly used VERBS in the game. Also, the numeric keypad and cursor keys are set up to take the place of the directions used in the game (i.e., North, Northeast, etc.). A diagram of these keys and what they stand for follows: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Function Keys: ÚÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄ¿ ³F1 ³ F2 ³ F3 ³ F4 ³ F5 ³ F6 ³ F7 ³ F8 ³ F9 ³F10 ³ ³GET³DROP³EXAMINE³READ³OPEN³CLOSE³INVENTORY³LOOK³SCORE³HELP³ ÀÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÙ Cursor Keys: ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ ³ ³ NORTH ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ WEST ³ ³ SOUTH ³ ³ EAST ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Keypad: ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ ³ ³ ³ - ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ UP ³ ÃÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ´ ³ 7 ³ 8 ³ 9 ³ + ³ ³ NORTHWEST ³ NORTH ³ NORTHEAST ³ ³ ÃÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ´ DOWN ³ ³ 4 ³ ³ 6 ³ ³ ³ WEST ³ ³ EAST ³ ³ ÃÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ´ ³ 1 ³ 2 ³ 3 ³ ³ ³ SOUTHWEST ³ SOUTH ³ SOUTHEAST ³ ³ ÃÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ´ ³ ³ 0 ³ . ³ ³ ³ ENTER ³ EXIT ³ ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ NOTE: To bring up a similar diagram during game play type- ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ VERB List: These are the actual verbs used in the game.
