Hi phreaks! 06-Jul-91 12:24:56 ~~~~~~~~~~~ I started playing the Exile Preview a few days ago. Now I'm absolutely fascinated of the game. >> Exile is the best Action Game ever released for any Computer << It is really worth playing! Here are a few hints for getting started: 1. Play with the keyboard! ========================== Joystick control is very fuzzy. You won't get the feeling if you play with joystick. 2. Keyboard mapping: ==================== Control of the hero: Q - Fly left W - Fly right P - Ascend L - Descend Tab - Change direction (very useful in critical situations) Ctrl - Turn horizontal (I don't know what this is for) Object control: , - Take object (arm gun, carry grenades or flasks...) M - Drop object . - Throw object If you drop or throw a grenade, it will get live and explodes within a few seconds. Weapon control: O - Aim at destination K - Aim at destination I - Center destination Spc - Fire gun F1-F5 - Select weapon (not implemented in demo game) Others: Cursor Keys - Move view T - Teleport home Help - Reset Game These are certainly not all keys, but I didn't find out more. Contact me at Central Europe if you have more. 3. Gerenal hints: ================= - Unlock the doors of your spacecraft with the red buttons and leave it. - Play around with objects (try getting the gun and the grenades). - Try killing the nerving birds (you will need the experience). - Bomb away barriers (perhaps doors) with grenades. - Remember: Everything that happens to you will happen to every object in the game. Btw. Everything will be teleported by the Transporter (even the explosions) - Estinguish Fire with Water (I will not tell more) - Try dropping down grenades in chasms if there are many missile bases down there. 4. Never give up! ================= It's an exiting game with lots of ideas. I'm looking forward for the final release... cu l8er, G o o n i e t h e W i z a r d --------------------------------- Keep happy hackin' Greetings to Smeg of Milliways Greg of Black Monks George
