- The Game
- ~~~~~~~~
- The Deldroneye Empire existed once as a superpowerful force
- governing a sector of the universe so large it`s inhabitant
- beings would never truely understand the scale of their
- masters influence.
-
- Since their centuries of reign, and terrible wars which had
- destroyed them all, time slowly hid their influence with
- the dust of myth. Many centuries later, a group of hyper-
- travellers happened across an uninhabited planet, and later
- finding evidence of the Deldroneye Empire upon a set of old
- scrolls. They imbedded the leasons of the Deldroneye into
- their own society, and thus became proclaimed as followers,
- and where thereafter known as Deldronites. Many generations
- passed, and a civilization was foundered, wherein a royal
- court declared that their finest explorer would set forth
- and find the rumoured treasures of the Deldroneye Empire.
-
- Falcon, royal Venturex, second only to the king himself, it
- was decided would find these Relics. And for his first few
- expeditions was miraculously successful, and news spread to
- every corner of Deldronis, the capital. News also spread
- light years further to the deprived pit of the Medivians, a
- race of immoral warrior beasts, who co-incidently also knew
- about and emulated the original Medivians, who in their own
- time waged war and destroyed the same Deldroneye Empire. A
- short while after the news had faded, a terrorist attack by
- the Medivians struck out at the Deldronites. Using Falcon,
- they waited until his next discovery was unearthed, then in
- a ravenous charge, Falcon was overwhelmed and the treasures
- stolen. This episode began Falcon`s long adventure to make
- good what was generally regarded, a bad situation. From an
- inhuman torture chamber on a remote prison planet, Falcon
- had to both return to Deldronis and clear his name, killing
- the terrorists who had seized the palace. On his travels,
- he made his way briefly through the town of Zantis, located
- at the frontier marking the zone wherein the prison complex
- resided. During his stay, he was made well aware of a fist
- of supression that kept the peace. An honourable and very
- influencial group of beings called the Spam Syndicate, who
- helped Falcon travel back to Deldronis.
-
- No sooner had Falcon saved the life of the king, and killed
- the alien terrorists who had caused so much grief, the man
- who had saved the kingdom was now asked to tend the beaches
- of Deldronis as a beach comber. A decision not uncommon as
- the king was medically insane, but one that was backed up
- by the Curity minister, the real powermonger in the palace.
- Once outside the palace gates, Falcon was not even allowed
- to re-enter, a most curious attitude to be shown to such a
- high ranking individual such as Falcon. Almost immediately
- after the gates slammed shut, a cloaked messenger informed
- Falcon that the Spam Syndicate required his services and
- should come to Zantis as soon as possible.
-
- For Falcon, his obligations to the Spam Syndicate were only
- second to his concern that he was officially no longer the
- royal Venturex for which he had worked all his life. Royal
- blood coursed his veins, and disipline was his strength, he
- charted passage back to Zantis, and could only wander what
- fate had in store. And more specifically, what the S.S had
- in mind...

- How To Play
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
- For the many who are familiar with the style of controls in
- this game, instructions are not required. Finding out what
- works and what doesn`t is indeed part of the game (for ones
- with fond memories of the traditional text adventure).
-
- But to put you in mind of the method of play, regard the
- controls as a method to instruct the hero depicted on the
- scene part of the screen. You are given the commands:
-
- MOVE, LOOK, TAKE, USE, OPEN, CLOSE, TALK, GIVE and SHOW
-
- You are given an inventory box which can be scrolled along,
- giving you access to all the items you are carrying. There
- is a text bar showing how much of the command you have done
- and which will amend and change colour as you move your
- pointer over the various screen objects. As well as items,
- you can click on background curiosities and people. Action
- takes place when a commant is completed successfully, such
- as MOVE to DOOR. Or USE KEY on DOOR. Or OPEN DOOR. Taken
- one at a time, you gradually proceed to take control of the
- hero character, and no doubt you will be faced with some
- feindish puzzles.
-
- One of the most often used and valued aspects of the game
- is the SAVE FEATURE, which allows you to record where you
- are in your quest, and LOAD it back at a later date. In
- games such as these, you may take severals days or even
- weeks picking up where you left off and solving abit more.
-
- Though this adventure is a link, and will not be as large
- as it`s neighboring games, you should find plenty of puzzle
- situations to overcome. Always in mind is the fact that it
- is an adventure bigger than the game itself. Falcon has a
- history, and soon you will soon discover he has a very big
- future...
-
- Relics II
- ~~~~~~~~~
- Currently being prepared for release is Falcons biggest
- adventure yet. His travels will see him travel light years
- into space, and encountering an alien species so old it may
- even have surpassed the great Deldroneye Empire. And more,
- the return of the dreaded Medivians, who not content with
- their initial defeat, have constructed a mamouth battle
- cruiser capable of terrible firepower.
-
- Only you, guiding the destiny of royal ex-Venturex Falcon,
- can ensure both his survival and more importantly, the long
- hoped for restoration of his name and title.
-
- Save Game Warning
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- In order to cram as much adventure into this link game, you
- will find disk space insifficient to use all eight savegame
- positions. Use the first few ONLY to avoid crashing if you
- continue to run the game from floppy. HD Owners with some
- knowledge may transfer it to there hard drive. Relics One
- owners can read the Hard Drive install script and duplicate
- the process for RTZ.
