Quadralien is not cpd, but make sure you have the right version for
your graphics adapter. This is one complex game, and the docs suck.
What follows is everything that I can tell you that THE PROG WON'T.
There is a LOT more to be learned from the progs help screens, so
explore!
Welcome to Asta, which has 3 levels, each with 6 chambers, and the
reactor core. Asta is controlled by DyMESC, thru slave droids which
attract (red-black) or repel(blue-white), and MegaBoxes whose fields
extend indefinitely.
Your mission is to prevent the breakdown of Asta, by sending water
barrels down chutes to reduce core temp , and reducing the Entropy
Level, a measure of the movement of DyMESC. You must also find and
destroy the Quadralien Mother. When you have enough points on one
level, you will be given the password to the next level, which can be
used to start new games at those levels.
To do this, you will manuever the two droids which you can pick from
the six available droids, each of which has its own peculiarities.
Keys:
F1 - Move Droid Mode
F2 - Orient Droid Mode
F3 - Pan Screen Mode
F4 - Activate Geiger Scanner
F5 - Swap Droid
F7 - Music Off
F9 - Pause
Esc - Restart
Space - Absorb radioactivity, access console, detonate explosive,
pick up detonators & geiger scanners.
Enter - Fire Laser.
Every chamber has some info consoles, which are also used for recharging
& other goodies. Other objects are:
<OK> - returns you to chamber;
liquid coolant barrels - send down chutes to cool Asta, some may be
magnetically contaminated, as shown by their color.
Energy Cells - push down chute to replenish Astas energy.
Explosive charges - if you have a detonater, these can be use to blow
up whatever is near & under them.
Magnetic Track - use to move Astas droids
Geiger Scanners - show you what's radioactive
Earthing box - disables & drains droids
Lighting Point - lights up chamber when you're on it
