FINAL FRONTIER
by A.D. Flower & M.M. Collis
The year is 2094 and the Earth's energy supplies have become virtually
non-existent. The only supplies that can be found must be bought from black
market traders at extortionately inflated prices. This is where you come in.
You have been sent to a planet with a colony of 50 people to set up a land
base. From there you will send ships and people to the moons surrounding
this planet to construct mines and excavate the only metal ore in the galaxy
that is now able to produce the power required by the population of Earth.
You will be able to carry out one of six choices during each day that
passes. These choices are explained below.
1 Oxygen - This allows you buy oxygen from earth to supply your land base.
The oxygen must be kept at a reasonable level to stop people dying from lack
of it.
2 Build - You start the game with one un-loaded ship available for sending
to the moons. The build option allows you to build more ships for this
purpose.
3 Load - This option will allow you to load any number of ships (provided
that you have that many) with the items needed to go to one of the moons and
set up a mine.
4 Send - This option will allow you to send a number of your loaded ships to
a moon to set up the mines. You must estimate the ammount of fuel required
for the journey (HINT: not more than 20 per ship !!). If you do not allow
enough fuel ships may become stranded during their journey and they will be
lost thus making it necessary for you to build more ships.
5 Recover - Allows the un-loaded ships that you have, to be sent to the moon
on which the mines are, to collect and return with ore. The fuel has to be
estimated with results as above.
6 Sell - You must at some point sell the ore that you have recovered to
Earth. When you have sold enough you will be asked to take over another
planet.
Should you be in a situation where you wish to quit the game (you will be, I
assure you !!) pressing all three mouse buttons together will achieve this.
Note: You start the game with 2000 units of money.
P.S. Good Luck. You WILL need it !!!
