HERMES THE GODS' MESSENGER
====== === ==== =========
written by a Gallo using GTAC
Graphic Text Adventure Creator.
This software is Public Domain and can be copied
and distributed freely, provided all the files are
included unchanged.
This is just a PD limited version of a full
adventure game, which will be available next October
1993. It is written using GTAC, which is the main
program that handles datas, objects and characters
in the WIMP RISC OS environment. The adventure
itself is stored in several DATA and DRAW files.
This new system allows you to play a complete
adventure game without loosing the friendlyness of
the Acorn Desktop.
Double-click on the !Hermes icon to load the program
and install its icon on the iconbar. Click on it
with the left button of the mouse to start the game.
Clicking with the middle button recalls a menu,
where you can choose several actions:
SAVE lets you save your current status in order to
restore it later (just drag the saved file icon on
the !Hermes icon to load it back).
GRAPHICS toggles the graphics window ON and OFF. You
can do it as well by clicking on the CLOSE icon on
the graphics window and then clicking with the left
button on the !Hermes icon.
INVENTORY shows what you are carrying at the moment.
RESTART lets you start again the adventure from the
beginning, in case you are stuck somewhere and do
not know how to continue.
The INTRO file in the !Hermes directory contains
explanations about the storyline.
The REGISTER file contains the registration module:
if you complete it with your details and send it to
me, you will be informed about upgrades of this PD
version and about the full game.
If you discover any bugs or have any questions,
