About the game:
As I've said before, there really is a Quest I, I wrote it in a very
old version of Basic (2.1), so I can't use it in anything. I will, however,
one day translate and release it. As for Quest ][, you are, . . . well . . .
you're YOU. You travel back about 240 years, in an attempt to rescue a lunatic
and his beautiful daughter. Why?, nothin' good on T. V. You move around in
Europe, going to cities, and the like. You fight various types of enemies, and
you do all kinds of fancy things. The oppertunity may arise to do very strange
things, such as take off all your clothes and dance on the floor naked. While
this may seem useless, sometimes it may prove vital. You cannot save games in
the unREGISTERed version, but if you do REGISTER, you will get much more for
your dollar than if you were to buy from any other software company. The
unREGISTERed version is primarily text, while the REGISTERED version will
contain more graphical scenes. Also, included in the REGISTERED version will
be information on a saved game editor, and an editor for changing the
specifications of the game (city names, enemy types, enemy strengths, etc.).
More info on the REGISTERed version below. You better appreciate this game, it
took me four months to make, it just kept getting more and more complex, and
began to take longer and longer but now it's FINISHED, well no it's not, but
soon.
A few instructions for you idiots out there (the rest of you can play no--
well, you ALL are idiots, so read on). When the game starts up, enter your
name (you know, what your mother calls you, and I don't mean stupid). You
start out by travelling through time, but be careful, it can disorient you if
you're not used to it. You wake up in a room, and have to move on. The first
thing you will encounter is a fight. You start out with 14 hitpoints, and 10
strength. To increase your hitpoints either camp out in the woods, or go to a
town and stay at the motel. Staying at the motel increases your hitpoints more
than sleeping on the ground does, not to mention the fact that when you camp,
you may be attacked or robbed. To move around, either use the arrow keys or
press <m> (all of this is covered in the game). When you are at a town, try
all the doors, just <k>nock first!! I don't know about you, but if a stranger
barged into my house without knocking, I'd call the police too! Talk to
everybody, you can ask them general questions like, "Have you seen any
strangers recently?" You may get useful information, you may get bogus info,
but asking them direct questions will usually result in off the wall answers.
It is important that you visit every town, you never know where Trepto and his
daughter may be. When asked for distance to move, if you wish not to move in a
certain direction, just leave the line blank. Be careful of townspeople and
shop owners, they can be crooked and sometimes gip you (or even blatently rob
you). If you want, you can attack a townsperson by typing <a> within 1 space
from them. I wouldn't count on the police for much, the only decent thing
they'll do is file a missing person's report for you. When you are given
information from anyone, be weary, they have been known to misrepresent the
facts. It is best to talk to everybody before deciding on a certain course of
action, I would say save before anything major, but this is the unREGISTERed
version, and you CAN'T save!
Special town instructions:
Just read the help.
If you find any bugs or problems, report them to me. It is imperative that you
tell me exactly what the error message was, where in the game you were, and
what YOU did immediately before the error. I will then fix (if it's REALLY
broken!), it and send you a repaired copy.
Benefits of REGISTERing:
First and foremost, you get more graphical interphace, more towns to
visit, more enemies, and more idiot-friendly conversation scenes. Saving and
loading features, as well as the ability to find items along the way. Also,
you will be given the opportunity to buy more items at the shops. VERY limited
magic power may be bestowed upon you too, like sleep, transport, and protect.
Maps, in the REGISTERed version, you may have the option to view the map with
your specific location highlighted, and the possibly the option of tracing your
movements. PERHAPS I MAY even add sound card compatibility for true-to-life
sounds, MAYBE! Plus information on purchasing a save game editor, a map
editor, and a general editor which edits things like enemy types, strengths,
and towns peoples names. The towns will be larger and more detailed. There
will be all kinds of FUN stuff, ie. the Lincoln Monument, island towns, and
railroad towns. Also in the REGISTERed version, you will be able to buy train
tickets and travel to many of the towns in France and England. I dare say
that so far, the best new feature is saving and loading games. During the
testing processes thus far, it is REALLY convenient.
