- HORACE GOES SKIING
-
- Before Horace can get to the ski-slopes he must fetch his skis from a
- hut on the other side of the busy road. Horace will move in one of
- four directions according to the keys you press.
-
- UP = Q
- DOWN = Z
- LEFT = I
- RIGHT = P
-
- At the beginning of the game Horace has $40 to spend. If he is knocked
- down it will cost him $10 in ambulance fees. After Horace has
- successfully crossed the road, guide him into the door of the hut
- where he will fetch his skis. The charge for ski hire is $10. Horace
- should not enter the ski hut unless he can afford the hire charge. If
- Horace has spent all his money he can accumulate points and money by
- crossing the road repeatedly. At every 1000 points boundary, Horace
- receives a $10 bonus. Horace should not linger on the road longer than
- necessary since the traffic becomes progressively more congested.
- After fetching his skis Horace must return across the road to the ski
- slopes.
-
- In the second part of the game Horace must ski down the Hannekon run
- avoiding the trees and slaloming between the red and blue pair of
- flags. If horace fails to pass between the flags a warning note is
- sounded and Horace will lose points. Horace can parallel left or right
- with the I and P keys as above respectively. Horace increases his
- points by passing between the flags and he can also receive a 100
- points bonus by passing through the finish barrier. As in the highway
- section, there is a $10 bonus at every 1000 point boundary. If Horace
- should hit a tree then he can continue on the slope providing his skis
- do not break. If his skis do break then Horace must again cross the
- road for a new set of keys and then return across the road to the ski
- slopes. If Horace successfully completes the course without breaking
- his skis then he must cross the road to the next ski slope.
-

- game started by pressing G and H together.
