The Power of Imagination
is proud to present:
THE TIMELESS EMPIRE CHAPTER I
I. System Requirements
The Timeless Empire
should run on any Amiga with
AmigaOS 1.3 or higher and 1 MByte of RAM. "Should" means that I only had the
chance to test the game on an A500, A2000 and A4000 under AmigaOS 1.3 and
3.0. If this demo runs on your system, then the registered game should run,
too.
II. Limitations in this demo
This is only a demo of the game! The demo has the following
limitations:
- You can't save or restore your game position
- Scripting has been disabled
- The size of the game area is limited
- There are no built-in hints
Anything else works like in the registered version.
III. Getting started
To start the demo, just double-click the game's icon. If your computer
should crash before the game opens its screen, try to run it from the CLI, but
remember that the game needs a
very
large stack (about 50000 bytes),
so type
Stack 50000
before starting the game.
The game requires the diskfont.library and the mathieeedoubbas.library.
Make sure that both libraries are in your LIBS: drawer, otherwise the game
might crash.
IV. First steps
After the game has loaded, you'll see the prompt (>) on your screen.
The prompt tells you that the game is waiting for your input. You can control
the game using plain English sentences such as
TAKE THE BALL
,
LOOK AT THE
FROG or
ASK THE IDIOT ABOUT THE DEAD MOUSE
.
As your first input, you should type
LOOK AT THE FIREPLACE.
. Press RETURN to
finish your input.
LISTEN TO THE MUSIC
for a while. Go
OUT
and
WAIT
until you find yourself on the hill.
SLEEP
till morning. You're
now about to embark on the journey of your life.
The next time you start playing... can you rescue the girl?!?
V. It's Shareware!
The Timeless Empire
is shareware! This means that if you want
more than this demo, you'll have to pay for it - 20,-- DM, to be more exact.
Please send
only
cash and
only
D-Mark. Packaging and postage
is included in the price, so it should be a fair price.
I spent two years on this one, so I think it should be worth paying the
shareware fee. There are lots of different solution paths (more than in any
other computer adventure game!) and your every decision will change the course
of the story.
Furthermore, each registered game comes along with some "goodies" you'll
need to solve the game, plus a built-in hintbook which helps you when you're
stuck and a special enhanced OS2.0-Version.
To register, send DM 20,-- to:
Rüdiger Hanke
An der Marienlinde 10
D-48291 Telgte, GERMANY,
You'll receive your game disk, a printed instruction manual, and the Amiga
Mipric Story System Reference Sheet. The game disk also contains a special
interpreter version for OS2.0 and higher. This version supports ASL-requesters
and allows you to change the environment of the game (screenmode, colours,
font).
VI. Updates
Yes, there will be updates! I will keep both the interpreter and
the story up to date and offer
free
updates from time to time. So
when you discovered a spelling mistake (sorry about that), bugs or if you
think there should be another way to solve a certain puzzle... write me!
VII. Currently availible New Genesis games are:
