Program description:
New York is an adventure program written in BASIC. The goal of New York
is to escape from a New York City ghetto. There will are many obstacles
to overcome, and many hardships to endure. After you escape the
dangerous ghetto areas, you must find adequate food and shelter, or you
will soon die from the rough exposure of the city. The program has the
subtitle "interactive fiction" because you direct the course of the
game. You determine what will happen by simply talking to the computer,
and telling it what you want it to do. Sometimes you will have to
rephrase a particular sentence or use different wording, as the
program's vocabulary is much smaller than yours. For most situations,
simply specify a verb and an object. Examples: Get (object) such as
"Get library book" or use (object) such as "Use explosives" or drop
(object) such as "Drop rusty key." Also, read (object) such as "Read
magazine" and shoot (person) such as "Shoot thief" are allowed. The
verbs "Put" and "Get" require an indirect object. Format: Put (object)
in (object) such as "Put diamonds in plastic bag" and give (object) to
(person) such as "Give handgun to police officer." One word commands
such as Time gives current time. Inventory lists what you are carrying.
Score gives current score. Save saves your current position to disk.
Restore restores a saved game. Quit quits the game. To move around,
Type the words "walk (direction)." There are four allowable directions:
North, South, East, and West. Please note, All streets, buildings,
names, etc. are fictitious. You may use lowercase or uppercase letters;
the program does not distinguish between the two. Unlike other
interactive text games, in which only one solution exists, New York can
be solved different ways. You can overcome the obstacles in this game
by using evil tactics, or you can try using less violent methods. The
choice is entirely up to you. You will find different obstacles and
different endings for each method you choose. There is on-line
documentation with this program which can be printed via the program
options. New York will run on 128k of memory with a color or monochrome
computer.
