You were sitting at your computer one day, █ █ totally absorbed and hypnotized by its trance-inducing coruscations, when █ █ suddenly, zap! --A ligntning bolt came crashing through the window and █ █ surged through you and your computer. Blackness overwhelmed you for a few █ █ moments that seemed endless. When your consciousness began to return, a █ █ swirling light of meaningless gyrations gradually began to slow down █ █ until something could be made of them. And, as things slowly cleared, you █ █ found yourself somehow blended into the heart of the computer in a █ █ landscape molded from transistors and chips, caught up, captured and █ █ trapped in a world beyond the limits of human imagination, in another █ █ dimension, another time and space, you would come to call the enchanted █ █ land of Neverwhere -- a world wherein you will be called ZAPPER! █ █ Enchanting though this place called Neverwhere may be, you find █ █ yourself driven and compelled by one obsession. This feeling grows so █ █ intense that it overwhelms your every thought. This drive, this yearning █ █ to get out of this place and find some way to get back into the real █ █ world of your loved ones and friends becomes your dominant impulse. Your █ █ every action becomes more and more bent on getting out, on escaping, █ █ on returning to life from whatever state this may be. █ █ In your journeys you find yourself surrounded by strange beings, █ █ paradoxical lifeforms called LIFERAS who were anticipating a messiah █ █ named Zapper when you arrived. And they had built monuments bearing his █ █ name. When they saw you, they thought you were their expected savior, and █ █ this is how you came to be called ZAPPER. █ █ When you first arrive, you search around, and somehow stumble into a █ █ doorway that teleports you into another part of this world, where you █ █ first encounter the Liferas. You find that when you bump into them they █ █ usually will give you messages and teleport you to other places. When you █ █ shoot them, they respond in different ways than they do when they are █ █ bumped. They are being enslaved by evil, strong beings who also inhabit █ █ the land of Neverwhere -- the dreaded Zargons. █ █ The Liferas offer to help you return to Earth if you will help them █ █ defeat the Zargons.You would like to help them with their plight,but your █ █ concern to return to Earth may also be fulfilled by the Zargons, if you █ █ can get the upper hand on them.And you begin to suspect that the Liferas █ █ may be your true enemies who "zapped" or conjured you here to save them █ █ from their plight.Above all, your allegiance is to yourself and the world █ █ in which you were born and raised, and your solitary mission is to escape █ █ this place and return to Earth. █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════█ █ HINTS , TIPS , CLUES , AND STRATEGY █ █═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════█ █ The object of the game is to escape this place Neverwhere and get back █ █ to the real world. █ █ At the beginning of the game you should use your <F> key to lower your █ █ position;then,using the left/right keys <Q> & <W> & the forward key <O>, █ █ direct yourself to go through the bottom of the "A" in the word "ZAPPER". █ █ Inside you will encounter a rectangle which will teleport ya to AREA TWO. █ █ In AREA TWO you will encounter tall, skinny, pyramid-like structures █ █ which are lifeforms.If you bump into one of these it will teleport you to █ █ one of the many other areas in the game and will frequently give you █ █ messages, clues, and various remarks.If you shoot them they will respond █ █ differently and send you to different places than if you bump into them. █ █ Also, doors and rectangles will sometimes teleport you. █ █ Be sure to save your games frequently, especially when you make it to a █ █ new area. Press <1> and a blank screen will come up.Type what you want to █ █ call your saved game,(like "1A","1B",etc), and press enter.Another screen █ █ will appear; press enter again, and the game is saved. To reload a saved █ █ game, press <2> & type the name you choose, then press <ENTER>. █ █ The game is won when you stumble upon the hideout of the king of the █ █ Zargons and he helps get you to a doorway leading into the real world if █ █ you will keep his place secret. █ ██▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀██ █═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════█ █ KEYBOARD MOVEMENT CONTROLS: █ █ O moves forward "I" KEY STRAIGHTENS VIEW █ █ K moves backward M tilts right █ █ J moves right N tilts left █ █ H moves left SPACE fires gun █ █ R moves up 1 save game position █ █ F moves down 2 load game position █ █ I turns forward C center cursor on or off █ █ U turns backward TAB slow or fast game █ █ W turns right █ █ Q turns left NOTE!
