Quick Lead In:
You are Eborix7, Point Lancer of the Guardian Legion, a genetically tailored
army, serving as earth's ultimate defense and attack force...
Blade¬ Is:
A 256 color arcade style game for the Macintosh. It features 11Mb of
8 bit graphics and stereo digitized sound. The Hero has 4 levels of animation consisting of over 250 frames each level. Enemies are just as detailed with
intricate sequences of attack. There are a total of 15 terrorizing and bizarre
screens of play.

2Mb minimum RAM partition, 2.5Mb with sound

13" Monitor (640X480) or larger
11Mb of hard disk space
System 6.07 or later
System 7 Friendly
This Blade¬ Demo requires 1.6Mb of hard disk space.
Playing The Blade¬ Demo:
Open the application Flux¬ by double clicking on it. Choose 'OPEN' from
the FILE Menu and select Blade¬ Demo. At this point the title screen
is loaded and the game is idle. To play choose 'PLAY' from the FILE Menu,
or press CMD T. This command toggles the game between play and pause.
When you're in play mode, no other selection can be made from the menus,
except CMD T, once you're paused you can then make further selections.
Key Commands:
LEFT-> Moves Hero left
RIGHT-> Moves Hero right
DOWN-> Makes Hero kneel or climb down
UP-> Makes Hero jump or climb up
ATTACK-> Makes Hero attack
DOWN + LEFT or RIGHT-> Makes Hero crawl
DOWN + ATTACK-> Makes Hero attack while kneeling
JUMP + ATTACK-> Makes Hero spin kick in the air
Character control is very simple, you can choose the keys that represent
LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN and ATTACK under PREFERENCES in the FILE Menu.
The mouse button also triggers ATTACK. The keys perform as you would
think. LEFT moves the hero left, RIGHT moves him right, DOWN makes him
kneel as well as climb down a ladder, UP makes him jump or climb up a
ladder, ATTACK makes him attack.
You can also use the keys in combination, while you're kneeling you can
crawl with LEFT and RIGHT, you can also attack from this position. When
you jump you can start moving left and right either before or after you start
the jump. If you let go of the UP key early you will immediately start to
fall, so hold on to the key to get maximum height. You may also attack while
jumping by pressing ATTACK during the jump, as long as you hit ATTACK before
the hero starts to fall he will spin attack. The spin attack also gives him a
little more height. To get maximum height in a jump, hit ATTACK as late as
you can in the jump.
The hero has one other ATTACK mode, when his heart is above 3/4 full the
Guardian Legion Logo appears to the right of the heart. This means his
stand attack is powered up. This is now his most devastating attack.
What To Do:
The idea behind the game is to collect all the Teleporter Pods by walking over
them, if there are more they will pop up after the previous is collected. When
you collect them all, the handle will appear on the Teleporter, get back to it
and ATTACK the handle, you will be transported to the next screen. Along the
way you will find PowerUp Pods, these can give you more life as well as speed.
To open the pods, ATTACK them.
