Jason Jupiter, Star Cadet, In 'Unfinished Business' (1990).
Author: Neil A. Drage.
In the first terrible chapter of this fateful story a mining ship
carrying the deadly ore of borxidium (the most radioactive
substance known to man and naturally forms into a heart shape
when exposed to the air) crash landed on the planet Shufti-Arquar
III, near its capital city Monquar-Arquar. The borxidium
scattered all over the planets surface. Naturally the only man
that could clean up the borxidium and save the Arquarians was
mankinds' most well known and most heroic hero, the one and only
Jason Jupiter,Star Cadet.
Jason Jupiter succeeded in collecting every single piece of
borxidium, or so he thought. Little did Jason know that half of
the contents of the ship had washed under ground. This fact was
found out when the whole planet started to heat up at a rate of
50 degrees Celsius a year. At that rate, the experts said, the
planet would explode in 5 years.
Now Jasons' bosses, the Galactic Federation, were not happy about
this and decided to sack him (in fairness to them they did give
him a gold watch for the heroic deeds he did over the years). But
Jason took this very badly, he went and bought a small flat in
Islington with the money he'd saved. He sat in his flat for days
on end, drinking and trying to forget his life as the greatest
hero in the Galaxy. Basically he declined into a drunken slob.
Then one day things changed, a social worker came round and
talked with him about the old days, this brought the memories
flooding back. It filled him with excitement. And an idea struck
him, go and clean up Shufti-Arquar by himself, this would surely
make him a hero again.
Once again Jason will not find his task easy, he will be
confronted with terrible underground rock formations that topple
with the slightest vibrations. He will often find that he is
trapped under tons of rubble which is impossible to move, he will
have to sacrifice a life if faced with this. Another problem is
the wildlife, well namely the Savage-Sprewn-Scuttered-Sprog. This
animal was once a mild mannered, docile, tame creature that
wouldn't hurt a fly, but now it has been completely mutated by
the deadly effects of the intense radiation. BEWARE!!!.
By the way Jason will have to be careful of the radiation himself
it can become too much for our hero. To help him along he is
given a radiation counter, denoted as RADS. If the amount of rads
reaches the critical level of 150 then Jason will die, and the
mission is over!
There is one piece of good news!!! Jason does not have to collect
every piece of borxidium in the caves, the rest can be left to
decay normally. Jason is told how many he needs with the 'Need'
counter at the bottom of the screen and is signalled by a high
pitched noise when he can leave.
You can control Jason with the following keys:
N = Move Jason Left
M = Move Jason Right
A = Move Jason Up
Z = Move Jason Down
<space> = Teleport to next cave (when allowed)
D = Loose a life (occasionally needed!)
E = Exit game
(P.S. - By the way, if you're confused, Jason arrives in the Teleporter
in each cave, but can teleport out simply by pressing the space bar
from anywhere on the screen, if he has enough borxidium.)
Have a crushingly good game!!
