PARASITE
INTRODUCTION
The year is 4791 and you and a buddy.........
RIGHT!!! thats enough for a storyline, nobody reads the bloody
things anyway.
This game is a one or two player roleplaying/shootumup/maze game.
If you have played any of the PD/Shareware/Licenceware games Black
Dawn II, Legions of Dawn, Hellbound you should feel right at home.
Basically you and a buddy have to wander around a number of maze
complexes, blast the baddies, get the gold and bugger off home.
Simple as that, However If that's not enough detail for you
read on..........
GETTING STARTED
When PARASITE boots up you should have in front of you a
very tasty looking menu system. From here you can start a new game,
save a game, load a game etc etc.
Please note that to play a two player game you need the following :-
A friend and a second mouse. If you have neither then your missing
out on the best bits of the game SO GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!!!!!
INTO THE ARENA
After the level has loaded your character should be standing
in the first base. To move around the game area use the arrow
buttons to the right of the game window. You can also use the
following keys to move : -
Player One (Top Screen)
Forward - Up Arrow
Backward - Back Arrow
Sidestep Left - Left Arrow
Sidestep Right - Right Arrow
Rotate Left - Del
Rotate Right - Help
Player Two (Bottom Screen)
Forward - W
Backward - S
Sidestep Left - A
Sidestep Right - D
Rotate Left - Q
Rotate Right - E
To use objects in your hands(guns, Knifes etc) just click on
the object.
INVENTORY
To access the inventory click the right mouse button.
In the inventory at the far left are twelve slots. These are
you main bag slots. Further right are your left and right hands,
Torso(Where armour goes),head(where headpieces go) and the use
icon(For consuming food,using light crystals etc)
RELOADING GUNS
Simply hold a power supply(Battery) and click and the object
you wish to reload.
PICKING UP AND PUTTING DOWN
To discard/pickup and object onto the gamefloor simply click
on the floor.
UNLOCKING DOORS
Hold the key and click on the door. Easy Eh?
THE M AND I BUTTONS
Clicking on the M button will tell you how many monsters
are left on the level.
Clicking on the I button will tell you what you are standing in
front of.
TWEEK IT TILL YOU LIKE IT
At the left of the game screen are a number of buttons
here's what they do :-
TopLeft - Sound FX ON/OFF
TopRight - Pause
BottomLeft - Stats - Displays information about your character
BottomRight - Quit
LEAVING THE LEVEL
The level can only be left when all the monsters are dead.
When they are look out for a glowing read portal(you can't miss it)
and jump in.
LOADING AND SAVING
To save a game click on the save button in the main menu.
PARASITE contains three one player save positions and three two
playing save positions.
The computer automatically knows if your playing by yourself or
with a buddy so don't worry if your playing a two player game
that saving at save position #1 will erase your one playergame,
it won't.
Loading is so easy I won't bother explaining it.
INSTALLING TO A HARD DRIVE
Installing to a harddrive is easy enough. All you do is
first copy the fonts to your fonts directory.
Then copy all the file from this disk to where ever on your
harddrive.
Finally assign PARASITE: to wherever Parasite is on your harddrive.
