The DEZERIAN ASSIGNMENT Copyright 1993 Steve Englestad
The Dezerian Assignment has two major assignments. Codename RED KEY
places you on a desert world in search of the Red Key. You drive a
desert vehicle with a first-person view and visit trading posts and oases.
You have been landed on Dezeria by the Federation of United Planets to
seek out the Red Key which is needed to proceed to the second stage of
the Dezerian Assignment, Codename DESTRUCT
This adventure requires EGA graphics capability, and a hard drive. It
will run on 286 machines but 386 and up is recommended.
Installation:
Copy all the files to a new directory on your hard drive.
If in a zip file (REDKEY.ZIP), unzip the file.
Run UNPRED at the DOS prompt to unpack the compressed files.
Once all the files are unpacked you are ready to begin by entering
REDKEY at the DOS prompt. It would be a good idea to print out the
documentation and read it before starting the game.
If you wish to continue your adventure after successfully finding the
RED KEY and getting picked up, DO NOT initialize the game but order The
Dezerian Assignment: DESTRUCT and load all the files from that disk
right on top of your successfully completed RED KEY Assignment. You will
then be able to run DESTRUCT and use the red key to proceed to the next
assignment.
Documentation is in the file REDKEY.DOC
REDKEY.EXE is the program to run to run the adventure.
INITRED.EXE is the initialization program which lets you clear
your progress and start the game over.
SNAP.BAT By entering SNAP i where i is a digit from 0 to 9
RESTORE.BAT and RESTORE i in the same way, you can save and restore
your progress from the DOS prompt.
REDKEY.DOC is the full documentation for the game and can be printed
to any standard printer. Read for full details.
REGIS.DOC A single page registration/order form.
CONFIG.SYS A version of CONFIG.SYS to be copied to the root
directory if you do not have one. It shows how the
FILES and BUFFERS commands should read.
OTHER PRODUCTS
Dezerian Assignment: DESTRUCT
This follow-up to RED KEY takes you through the completion of the
Dezerian saga. In a unique technique of leading the successful
completion of one adventure into another, DESTRUCT must be installed
in the directory where RED KEY has been successfully completed.
The red key found in the first quest gives you access beyond the
first quadrant and into the further reaches of the planet as you
search for signs of your predecessor, Johnston and seek out the
Galactic Vaporizor Device (GVD) before time runs out. The map
included with RED KEY (sent upon registration) covers the entire planet.
With DESTRUCT you receive a hints manual to help you use the many
objects that will be found and you continue your quest.
First Expedition
An ocean-going adventure supported by island charts and sky charts
and a protractor to plot your position as you explore a fictional
ocean world. This is an earlier game of mine which uses CGA level
graphics but it is one of the bet CGA packages I've seen. It is
cleanly presented and fully supported by a wonderful story of the
invading Menace which left the ocean planet so frightened, no one
has left their island for generations until you go on your voyage.
The Quest for the Trinity Controllers
Once I completed First Expedition, I created a whole new world in
which you can explore using the same craft. The story is different
and the islands are all different in shape, location and nature.
A more advanced island creation routine permitted me to create clusters
of islands. The story is set in a land of sorcerers and magic. I call
this adventure The Quest for the Trinity Controllers. The messages in
Trinity tend to lead you more than in the original First Expedition
which has the background story book for hints and insights. Trinity
is a new data set to be run with the same program as First Expedition.
You receive a new data set on floppy, a story booklet and a new chart
of the world of the Quest. You must register First Expedition to
purchase this set.
