- The Dungeon Escape
-
- Version 2.0
-
- -MWD- Software
- Created by Michael Duhm(Doom)
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Quest is back with many new improvements over version 1.0. The
- graphics have been redone to give it a whole new look. A new monster has been
- put in the game, and there is a new concept, Food. You now must also eat to
- survive the game. The secret passages have also been changed, along with the
- position of keys, to give you something new to look for. The overall look of
- each dungeon hasn't changed though. I hope you will in enjoy this version of
- Quest as much as, or even more than, that of the previous version.

-
- Object of the Game
-
- An EVIL WIZARD has banished you to the depths of a dark dungeon and
- now you must find a way out. Make your way to the stairs hidden in each level
- of the dungeon. But to get there you must find keys along the way to open
- doors to new sections of the dungeon level. If that wasn't hard enough you
- must also battle monsters and fight your way to safty.
-
- Items
-
- Keys - The most needed of all items... The key can be used to open
- up doors and treasure chests.
- Jewels - These shiny items can be used to purchase things in between
- levels. You can find them in bunches of three or one all by
- itself.
- Potions - This bottle of liquid will give you 10 hitpoints(but will
- not exceed your maximum hitpoint level). Once you find(or
- buy) one of these items, press the Enter Key to drink it.
- Food - This piece of meat will help you survive your long trek
- the dungeon. Once you find(or buy) one of these items,
- press the Space Bar to eat it. Remember to eat it when you
- are hungry to get the most out of it.
- Chests - With a key you can find 6 jewels in one of these.
-
- Monsters
-
- Skeleton - Not very strong. These weak monster randomly roams the
- dungeon.
- Ghost - Not much stronger than the skeleton, but this monster can
- move diagonally and is a little faster.
- Zombie - Quite slow. These dead guys are pretty strong and they
- will slowly hunt you down.
- Mummy - (New) About the same as the zombie, only this monster can
- take a lot of hits and still fight back.
- Bats - Randomly flys though the dungeon. They are quite fast and
- hard to hit. They are weaker than the skeleton.
- Goblin - Small little guys that chase you through the dungeon halls.
- They are fast, but not too strong.
- Orc - Pretty slow monsters who wander around aimlessly. But if
- you do come in contact with one, watch out, they are very
- strong.
- Dragon - It might not move much at all, but it is very strong. It
- is protecting the exit to day light. You must beat it to
- get out of the dungeon... Good Luck!!!

- Hints
-
- You don't really need any hints do you, I mean I am sure you can beat
- the game without my help. But, if you really think you need some help I will
- see what I can do for you. Here are some hints that I find really help me
- beat the game(yes, I have beat it).
-
- - Raise your experience as fast as possible, it will make the later level a
- lot easier. To do this try to only buy experience points in between
- levels, unless you must buy something else to survive.
- - Always watch your hitpoints when fighting a monster, and try to keep a
- potion handy at all times.
- - There are secret passages all over the place. If you can find them you
- will be well rewarded.
- - Always try to destroy all monsters in a level. This will give you the
- maximum amount of experience points you can get in a level(if your good you
- should be able to get to experience level 10 by the end of the game).
- - Don't worry about your food too much. If you are fast your should be able
- to get through 3 levels before you become hungry. Try not to ever buy
- food, there is enough hidden in the levels for you to survive on.
- - If you need any farther help e-mail me, and I will try to help you as best
- I can. My screen name is MikeD576.
