- Space Recon
-
-
-
- You are on a reconnaissance mission in deep space. Your job is to
- determine the grid locations of all enemy ships in each sector by probing
- each grid cell. When you probe a grid cell in which an enemy ship is
- located, a portion of that ship will become visible. Continue probing until
- you have unmasked all ships in the sector.
-
-
-
- You must be careful, however, because the enemy has left several space
- mines in the sector. If you probe a grid cell containing one of these mines
- you will be blown up.
-
-
-
- The enemy has also masked the hyper-space windows in the sector. You
- cannot continue on to the next portion of your mission until you probe and
- uncover the location of the window. Once you have, you can zoom through
- that window to the next sector.
-
-
-
- Be sure to read the recon report when you enter a new sector as it will
- tell you how many ships, mines and hyperspace window are located there.
-

-
-
- Space Recon is a set of Diagraphix files. You must have either Diagraphix
- or the Diagraphix demo software to play. You begin by selecting the file
- "Level 1". An empty grid will be displayed. The first entry in the index is
- the "*Recon Report" for the sector. Select "Get Info" from the Edit menu to
- read the recon report then press RETURN to return to the game.
-
-
-
- You probe the grid cell by selecting "Search Info" from the Options menu.
- Enter the grid coordinate(s) to search by enclosing them in quotes (")
- separated by commas (,). For example to search grid # A5 you would enter:
-
-
-
- "A5" or "a5"
-
-
-
- and press RETURN. If a portion of a ship is contained in that cell it will
- become visible. If a mine or hyperspace window is located there, it will
- become visible. If you hit a mine, the game is over. If you uncover a
- hyperspace window, ensure the Zoom tool (looks like a magnifying glass)
- is highlighted and click on the hyperspace window grid. This will take you
- onto the next level of play.
-
-
-
- If you want to probe multiple grids, you can enter "A5", "B5", "C5", "B6",
- etc. The alphabetic characters may be entered in upper or lower case.
-
-
-
- YOU MUST ENSURE THAT ALL GAME FILES (not including the Diagraphix
- program) ARE LOCATED IN THE SAME FOLDER.
-
-
-
- If you've got Diagraphix, you can lay out new levels and extend the game.
