- Brief Instructions
-
- Most of the game is easy to get into. I've tried to make it really user
- friendly so you should be able to play without too much help.
-
- 1. To use an object, LEFT click on its name in your inventory.
- eg. Click on a gun to weild it ready for combat.
- Click on a grenade to throw it.
- Click on a key while facing a door to open/close it.
-
- 2. To fire...
- a) Click on the name of the gun in your hand (just above the inventory).
- b) Pick a snap or an aimed shot.
- c) You are now in fire mode (the pointer is a cross). The cross will only
- appear in places where you can fire (you may shoot through windows).
- d) LEFT click to fire.
- e) RIGHT click to abort (return to move mode).
-
- 3. To move, move the pointer to a square. A box should appear around it (if
- you have a line of movement). Just LEFT click to move there.
- To move around corners, you might have to move in stages becuase you may
- only move in straight lines.
-
- 4. To face a direction, point somewhere (no box neccesary) and RIGHT click
- while in move mode.
-
- 5. To get information on an object, RIGHT click on its name in your
- inventory.
-
- 6. Fire and Flame.
- Fire has 7 different intensities. When you step onto a firey sqaure, you
- will lose intensity*2 energy points (ie 2-14 points). You also lose this
- if you end a turn on a firey square. Fire does spread but also dies out
- after a few turns.
-
- 7. LOOK at the enemy to see what they are carrying and how they look by
- clicking on them when in move mode. You must be able to see them !!!
-
- 8. Vison options...
- Settable on title screen (straight forward)
-
- 9. Doors and terminals.
- Stand next to a door and click on it to open it (or you could USE a key).
- Stand next to a broken terminal and click on it to attempt a repair.
- Stand next to a fixed terminal and click to access it.
-
- 10. The icons.
- Quit - Quit game
- Pickup
- Drop
- Recharge currently weilded weapon (you can use your energy to recharge
- your gun, but it might explode....)
- View enemy - show the last enemy seen/discovered.
- * And the most important ones ....
- * Next man - go to the next player.
- * Centre man.
- * End turn - end your turn after moving all of your team.
-
- 11. Anything else ?
- a) SHOT IS DEFLECTED means you've hit an unlucky spot and done NO damage
- b) You NEVER miss when standing next to an enemy (like real life).
- c) You can plant REMEX only on your current square. USE the detonator to
- explode it.
- d) Note that you cannot throw grenades directly at walls, only onto
- floors or enemies. Normal explosives (rockets/shells) can be fired at
- walls of course.
- e) You may shoot dropped grenades to detonate them. Shooting Ammo has
- an interesting result.
- f) LEFT Clicking while scrolling the screen will jump the scroll to its
- extreme which is useful on slower machines.
