LOADER LARRY INTRODUCTION
Larry Lontrose has lived his whole life in Longview.
Like his father and grandfather before him, he works
for the only factory in town. Generations of Lontroses
have worked hard for the factory, yet nobody in his
family (except his Aunt Mable who eventually became a
Junior Vice President during the 1930's) has ever been
promoted from the loading docks where most employees
are put to work. Larry however has bigger plans for
himself. As a boy, he was told by his parents that he
could achieve anything if he worked hard enough at it.
Determined to make something of himself, he decides
to work overtime on the night shift to impress his
his superiors.
Each night Larry toils away until the early morning.
At exactly six o'clock every sunrise, the Longview
church tower bells ring telling Larry his night shift
is over. Being very tired and exhausted from the labor,
he always finds himself each morning in a room where the
exit doors always seem impossible to reach. This is
because the other employees just leave various boxes and
other objects strewn around the room. Can you help
Larry reach the doorways in each room, so he can go
home and get some much needed rest ?
Starting out as a part-time loader, Larry knows how
to lift the boxes and move them to strategic positions
to help him reach the exit doors. He can jump up about
4 feet which is about the size of the boxes he can carry.
OBJECTS
There are many objects Larry can use to make his way to the
door in each room.
Boxes
Balloons
Ladders
Tnt
Walls
Steel Walls
Switch
Generators
Wooden Bridges
BOXES: Larry can carry and jump with boxes and place them
anywhere there is an empty space for them.
BALLOONS: Larry can jump and push balloons right, left or down.
He can walk on top of balloons and can place boxes on
them. If he is not holding boxes, he can get underneath
a balloon and jump up and grab a ride upwards if the
balloon has a clear path above it. Balloons will
disintegrate if pushed into Generators. He cannot
use TNT while riding balloons.
LADDERS: If Larry can reach a ladder then it will be added to
his inventory. He can use a ladder at anytime by
pressing the <L>adder key. The ladder will extend
upwards as high as it can reach, and Larry can climb
up and jump off it at any point. He can also use TNT
to blast through walls while on it.
TNT: If Larry can reach the dynamite, then it will be added
to his inventory. If he is not holding a box, he can
use the TNT to blast through a wall. TNT cannot be
used against any other objects including Steel Walls.
He can use the TNT while on a Ladder.
WALLS: These can be blown up by using TNT.
STEEL WALLS: These are indestructible.
SWITCH: If Larry can reach the Switch, then all the Electric
Generators will be turned off and they will vanish
from the room.
GENERATORS: These Generators are very dangerous if Larry touches
one. They will make balloons pop if they are pushed
into them. Boxes can be placed on top of them to help
Larry avoid the deadly voltage. They can be turned off
if Larry can reach the SWITCH.
WOODEN BRIDGES: If Larry walks directly across one of these, they
will crumble and vanish from the room. He can place
boxes on them to help keep them intact if he needs
them later on.
EXIT DOOR: This is Larry's final objective for each room.
Larry is hoping to be promoted from his present job as
a part-time Loader... can you help him solve all 20 rooms!"

SOLUTIONS
Solutions to the first 3 puzzle rooms have been provided for
you. By pressing the <?> key, you can see Larry solve the
room. There can be many ways to solve a room.
JOBS / PUZZLE POINTS
Each Puzzle Room has puzzle points if it is solved. These
Puzzle Points determine Larry's Job Status. This Shareware
Version has 20 puzzle rooms to solve. If you can solve all
of them, Larry will be promoted 6 times until he is the
Supervisor for the Loading Dock.
PUZZLE ORDER
The puzzle rooms get harder as you go along. When you first
begin Loader Larry, you can only access the first 3 rooms.
Anytime you solve a room, the puzzle room button on the
Load Puzzle Menu will turn from grey to red. You will be
allowed to load a puzzle number that is 2 higher then the
highest puzzle solved. Therefore if you solved puzzle
number 3 the first time you play the game, you would then
be allowed to play 1,2,3,4 or 5 the next time you load a
new puzzle.
