-
- While exploring a large maze of underground tunnels in the state of
- Nevada, USA. You emerge near the entrance to a 'TOP SECRET'
- Military installation. Cautiously, you decide to sneak around and
- explore the area. While nearing a large building, gun shots,
- screams and other sounds are heard. Around the corner of the
- building, a man comes stumbling towards you, and falls at your feet.
- The man appears badly injured, but he manages to tell you a horrible
- story....
-
- 'Inside the large building a group of scientist's and
- I, have been working on a project called 'CY-CLONE'.
- 'CY-CLONE', involved taking DNA from some soldiers
- and combining it with a Super Computers artifical
- intelligence.
- Then using an altered radioactive isotope, along with
- cloning, we were able to create a race of beings called
- Cyborgs.
- The purpose of our project, was to create a race of
- warriors for a possible future engagement between
- humans and an extraterrestial race.
- Unfortunately, the Super Computer used to give the
- Cyborgs, their artificial intelligence, was infected
- with a virus. The virus caused the Cyborgs to change,
- they soon regarded anyone or anything other than
- themselves, as extraterrestials.
-
- Every human inside is dead, and I am slowly dying...
-
- You must stop the Cyborgs! If they are not stopped
- they will soon start cloning themselves and take over
- the world.
-
- Follow me....
-
-
-
- Limping badly, the scientist manages to take you inside the lower
- level of the installation, to the main 'CY-CLONE Cloning Chamber'.
- As you enter a room a massive door slams shut behind you,
- separating you from the scientist. You stand patiently on a gold
- colored platform. Suddenly, a strange beam of green light
- envelops you. Your body feels like it's on fire. The pain grows
- more and more intense, then you hear the scientist talking to you
- over an intercom....
-
-
- 'In a couple minutes you will faint, when you
- become conscious again, you will be a Cyborg.
- There will be three of you! If all three of
- yourselves are killed, the world is doomed.
- If you destroy most of the Cyborgs and make
- it through all six levels of the installation,
- the computer will change you back into a human
- again.
-
- Good Luck!
-
- Oh yea... You will be armed with a phase-gun, it's
- good for three blasts, then you will have to locate
- another one. I don't think you will have any
- problem finding another weapon when you need it,
- just keep a look-out.
- Now let me tell you about the levels and the Cyborgs
- on each...
-
-
-
- LEVEL 1:
- --------
- This level contains the blue dummies, as we called
- them. They have no intelligence as of yet!
- Back and forth they go on a mindless quest of
- nothingness...
- These blue dummies reside on every level of the
- installation, along with the one below...
-
- LEVEL 2:
- --------
- Here is where something strange has happened, the
- Cyborgs have created a Red warrior, we never did
- figure out what his purpose was, is he just
- another dummy or is there more to him than meets
- the eye...Beware!
-
- LEVEL 3:
- --------
- Caution must be used here! The Cyborgs have nade
- their first armed warrior, this Dark Blue terror
- is on a rampage of destruction.
-
- LEVEL 4:
- --------
- This level contains a White Cyborg, but in this
- case, white doesn't represent good. This warrior
- has been given a small amount of artificial
- intelligence, he will try to track you down while
- firing a blast of phase energy at you.
- Even worse he is equipped with a energy absorbing
- shield. It will take one blast of your Phase-gun
- to neutralize the shield before he is vunerable.
-
- LEVEL 5:
- --------
- The Golden Boy lives here! That's what we use to
- call him. Beware, he's no boy.. This terror has
- an even stronger shield then the White Cyborg.
- It will take two blasts of your Phase-gun to
- neutralize the shield before he is vunerable.
- Watch out, he is even more smarter and aggressive
- than the White Cyborg.
-
- LEVEL 6:
- --------
- This is Terror! The Golden Cyborgs have created
- a new warrior. He is fast, and glides along
- silently. His weapon is unlike anything on the
- earth, and he has an intelligence to match.
- He has the shield power of the golden cyborgs
- plus one feature no other Cyborg has.
- He is invisible.....

- ***>>> HOW TO PLAY <<***
-
- When you arrive on a level, you are the green cyborg. Immediately move
- to a partial safe area. What is a partial safe area, you ask? Any place
- away from the corners of the screen. In the corners you will see flashing
- spots of energy, these are Cyborg teleport pods, where you see a pod, a
- Cyborg will soon appear.
- Use a joystick to move your Cyborg...
- Pressing the fire button shoots a blast from your Phase-gun in the
- direction you are facing, unless your out of ammo, in this case locate
- and pick up another gun, by touching it.
- At the top of the screen is the 'SCORE:' the score increases by
- destroying Cyborgs. Cyborgs have different point or score values, so you
- can clear a level faster by destroying the cyborgs that are worth more.
- Of course the Cyborgs that are worth more, are also the most dangerous.
- LIVES: is the number of Cyborgs or lives you have remaining, if it says
- 2, that means one in reserve and the one your now controlling, etc..
-
- Here are the score-points needed to complete each level and the score-
- points that the different colored Cyborgs are worth:
-
- LEVEL 1: Blue Dummies 100
- 3000 points needed to advance ot level 2
-
- LEVEL 2: Red Dummies 300
- 6000 points needed to advance to level 3
-

- - TECHNICAL-
-
- This game was written on my AMIGA 1200 68020 system,
- which has 2 megs of chip ram, and 8 megs of fast ram.
-
- It can be played on an AMIGA 500-600 system, but is
- about 3 times slower. How do I know this? Because I
- have an AMIGA 600 with 2 megs of chip ram only.
-
-
- It is written in AMOS. The only amal code is the routine
- to control the player and his weapon blast. The enemy
- Cyborgs and their weapon blasts, etc. are all in regular
- or non-amal code. This uses all native 'AMOS THE CREATOR'
- commands, no extensions such as TOME, etc.
- Everything is BOBS no sprites are used...
- It was created in two months, working at a calm pace...
