u B . O . F . H . [BASTARD OPERATOR FROM HELL] SERVERS UNDER SIEGE V1.0 AN ELECTRIC HAREM PRODUCTION IN 2002 MANUAL [The Story] Take the role of a BOFH as you arrive late at work to find your work place overrun by a group of insane activists. They have ordered personnel to leave, taken all work- stations and servers as hostages and set up bombs in the network equipment closets. Of course, this makes you boil with wrath and the only logical course of action seems to be waging war on the activists single-handedly. [The Mission] Your goal is to combat the activists leaders at the sixth floor and finally reclaim the servers room. But first, you must defuse the bombs in the network equipment closets. Search the activists you have killed for extra weapons, first aid kits and bomb defusing instructions (from technicians in green uniform.) Also seek useful tools from the building. [How to Play] You see the BOFH, and the surroundings from an overhead view. For control, use the Joystick in Port 2 or the keys: QWE A D + SHIFT ZXC Press Up/Down to walk forwards/ backwards and Left/Right to rotate Left/Right. Fire Button uses the currently active weapon. [Other Key Controls:] [M] - Music On/Off [Q] - Quit Game (when Paused) [V] - View Defusing Instructions [1-9] - Select Weapons [SPACE] - Select Next Weapon [STOP] - Pause Game [Status] The Status Line at the bottom of the screen shows * your score * healt, * time until the bombs explode * number of bombs, activists computers remaining, * your currently active weapon * ammunition left. [Weapons] 1 - Fists 2 - Cat-5 Whip. This can be found in the IT Engineer's Room on the second floor, to the left of the lobby staircase. 3 - Electric Drill 4 - Crossbow. Hold down Fire to aim, release Fire. 5 - Pistol 6 - Shotgun. Makes more damage when you manage to hit with all pellets (in close range.) 7 - Submachine Gun 8 - Flame Thrower 9 - Grenades. Hold down file to increase throw strength and release to throw. [The Enemies] Enemies can be identified from the color of their uniforms: Dark Grey - Fist-guy Light Grey - Pistol-guy Red - Shotgun-guy Light Blue - Submachine gun-guy Cyan - Crossbow-guy Green - Technician Black - Leader [Defusing Bombs] From each technician you get one letter for each closet containing a bomb. There is a 3-letter code that indcates (as first letters of the color names) what three wires must be cut. The order doesn't matter, but cutting any of the four [wrong] wires will result in detonation of the bomb (and all the others, because the bombs contain an ethernet interface :-) ) [Defeat/Victory] The Game is lost if the BOFH dies, or if the bombs explode. You have won when all bombs have been defused, the leaders have been defeated, and you are standing in the server room, still alive. [Hints] * As technicians see you they try to run away. It might be hard to find them again if you let them go! * Try to sneak up on an enemy from behind. * Conserve ammunition by punching or whipping unarmed activists. Silent methods of attack will not attract enemies like flamethrowing, gunfire, or explosions will. * The Crossbow is at its best when enemies have not noticed you yet. * Use Grenades with caution: they can cause much damage -- also to you! * If an enemy drops a First Aid Kit an you are already at full health, try to remember the place. You will need it later! Same goes for ammunition (there is a certain maximum of bullets you can carry.) * Every time you go Up/Down stairs reduces time by 5 seconds. Therefore, try to plan your route with minimal floor changes. * Be prepared when you enter the sixth floor. The Leaders might have powerful weaponry. * If you win, bonus is awarded for survived computers. Servers are considered especially valuable, so try to persuade the leaders to exit the Server Room and combat them outside. * If you defuse a bomb without all the leters (by guessing), you receive an additional 10000 points. This is not really recommended, ujless you're running out of time... [The Map] KJA1, KJA2, KJA3, KJB, KJD, KJE, KJF and KJR are the network equipment closets. X marks your starting position.

They don't combat violent paramilitary activists, but face other no less formidable trheats each day :-) All the respect to them and their work! This game uses some routines and ideas from the cancelled DETECTIVE TAKASHI, so it didn't go entirely to waste!
