MIND WARP
Mind Warp is a matching game whose object is to match pairs of
identical symbols until the entire display grid has been
exposed. The grid displays 2O rectangles on the ShareWare
version. The player selects two rectangles which expose a
colorful symbol in each selected rectangle. Points are
awarded each time a pair of symbols are matched. The point
values constantly change each time a rectangle is chosen.
Prior to selecting your first rectangle, the point value for a
correct match of the two symbols will be displayed. These
values will change randomly. Mind Warp can be played by one
or two players.
STARTING MIND WARP
From your DOS prompt, type MW and press the ENTER key. In
order for Mind Warp to run, you must be logged onto the
directory where MW.EXE, MW1.INF, MW2.INF and MW3.INF reside.
TANDY 1OOO
NOTE: If your computer is a Tandy 1OOO, the file "T1KVGA.COM"
may be required to be in memory before playing Mind Warp. If
you cannot play this game, install the "T1KVGA.COM" file in
memory first. From your DOS prompt, type T1KVGA and press the
ENTER key. You may then run Mind Warp as described above.
After typing MW and pressing the ENTER key, a screen will
appear displaying the copyright notice. While this screen is
being displayed, Mind Warp will load in the required files it
needs to continue running. You will then hear a beep and a
message will appear asking you to press either mouse button.
Pressing either the left or right mouse button will continue
with the game.
The bottom line of the screen will now display the players
initials. If this is your first game or you have not entered
your initials, you will see an asterisk in place of the players
initials (See Setup Menu for entering players initials).
MAIN MENU
Before starting each new game of Mind Warp, a window will pop up
displaying the Main Menu. The Main Menu will display the
following options:
Play
Setup
Scores
Quit
- 2 -
MAIN OPTIONS
To select one of the options, move your mouse cursor over one of
the choices and press either the left or right mouse button.
Play
Selecting the Play option will start a new game of Mind Warp.
Your screen will now display the playing grid of 2O rectangles
numbered from 1 to 2O. If you are playing a two player game,
the bottom of the screen will indicate which player is to make
the first move.
The bottom of the screen will now display the point value a
player will receive if a pair of symbols are matched when
selecting two of the rectangles. Each player will select two
numbered rectangles. If they match, that player is awarded the
point value for the correct match. A player making a correct
match will continue selecting two rectangles until all
rectangles have been exposed or the player makes an incorrect
match.
When all symbols have been paired, the game is over and the
player with the highest score is the winner (See Scoring).
Setup
Selecting the Setup option will remove the Main Menu and bring
up the Setup Menu. This will allow you to change from one to
two players (See Setup Menu).
Scores
Selecting the Scores option will remove the Main Menu and bring
up the High Score Menu. This will allow you to view the top
scores achieved in Mind Warp (See Scores).
Quit
Selecting the Quit option will return you to your DOS prompt.
You will be asked to verify if you really meant to quit. You
will see a window appear asking you to press the left mouse
button to resume the game or the right button to quit.
SETUP MENU
The Setup Menu is reached by selecting Setup from the Main Menu.
A window will appear displaying the following:
Game Easy
Players 1
Accept
- 3 -
You will have one option available to you which is Players.
The default setting will be displayed to the right of each of
the options.
SETUP OPTIONS
Move your mouse cursor over one of the options, and press either
mouse button.
Players
Selecting the Players option will allow you to toggle between a
one or two player game. As soon as you select Players, you will
be asked to enter the players name or initials with a maximum of
three characters followed by pressing the ENTER key. You will
be prompted for your response on the bottom of the screen. It
is not necessary to enter a name but you must press the ENTER
key to proceed. If you have changed from a one player game to a
two player game, you will also be asked for the name or
initials of the second player. Every time you select
Players, the previous names are erased.
Accept
Selecting Accept will retain all the option settings for future
games and return you to the Main Menu. When you quit playing
Mind Warp, these settings will also be saved for the next time
you play if you are using the Registered Version.
SCORES
The Scores Menu is reached by selecting Scores from the Main
Menu. A window will appear displaying the following:
E - 0
Clear Exit
Scores will display the top scores achieved from the Easy
game. The players initials will be shown if they have been
entered as explained in the Setup options. The scores are
updated and saved as games are played on the Registered
version.
- 4 -
Clear
You can reset the scores to zero by selecting the Clear option.
If you select the Clear option by mistake, select it again
and it will restore the previous scores. NOTE: Restoring the
previous scores can only be done following a reset to zero.
Exit
Selecting Exit will remove the Score Menu and return you to the
Main Menu.
SCORING
Two Player Game
Each correctly matched pair will score either 1OO, 75, 5O or 25
points. The point values for a match are picked at random prior
to selecting the first rectangle.
Moves
A move constitutes a selection of two rectangles. If a player
makes a move and the two rectangles do not match, the move is
penalized according to the chart below (See Move Points).
Move Points
The points for each move will depend on the type of game you are
playing (See Setup options). The following points are
subtracted for each incorrect match:
Game Move Points
Easy 2
Single Player Game
When Mind Warp is played by only one player, the final score is
half of that of a two player game.
