CYBERMINE
by
Alan Poole
Since the 25th Century, robots have
been essential to the survival and
continued expansion of Earth
colonies. You probably cannot
remember a time when robots did not
run factories, harvest food, and mine
raw materials in the Outer Worlds.
We take them for granted-- but what
if something goes wrong? Contact has
been lost with the mining operation
in the Sirius system. Without their
ore, our economy, and our empire, are
doomed.
Shipments have stopped; the human
overseers are presumed dead. Last
reports indicate a strange
rebelliousness among the robot work
force. Is there a connection?
Your mission-- travel to the Sirius
outpost and investigate the cause of
the failure. If the robots are the
cause of the problems, be prepared to
terminate them.
But be careful... Like the
original human inhabitants, you may
find that robots can be deadly when
they have minds of their own.
Text adventure games like CYBRMINE
work by describing your situation and
surroundings. You move around the
game and manipulate objects by typing
in commands.
For example, if you wanted to move
east, you would type in GO EAST. If
there is a rock at your position, you
could pick it up by typing GET THE
ROCK or PICK UP THE ROCK. To throw
the rock at a robot, you would type
THROW THE ROCK AT THE ROBOT. You can
abbreviate any word by typing the
first four letters.
Useful commands include:
1. INVENTORY-- lists the objects you
are carrying.
2. LOOK or EXAMINE-- followed by the
name of an object will sometimes
give more detail about that object.
3. GET ALL-- picks up all of the
objects at your location.
4. QUIT-- ends game.
Directions are east, west, north
and south. You should experiment
with different commands and
abbreviations as you learn the game.
If your computer does not understand
your command, try wording the message
differently or try another approach
to the problem.
Here are some hints to help you
play CYBERMINE:
1. Make sure you EXAMINE everything.
2. You can outsmart the robot
guarding the mine entrance.
3. Ladders are useful.
4. Making a map of the tunnels can
help you find your way.
