- Collector's Issue # 1 "Lance Stone: Trouble At The Woz" trial copy.
-
- This set contains the first 1/3 of the fantastic new limited edition issue # 1
- of HyperComix "Lance Stone: Trouble at the Woz". You'll soon be able to see
- why the New York Times recently called Lance "A SUPERHERO TO COLLECT", and why
- Business Week says "Its cliff-hanger ending leaves you itching for more."
-
- This trial edition requires an IBM or compatible AT with a VGA monitor, 640k of
- RAM and a hard drive. A mouse is highly recommended. Supports Sound Blaster.
-
- Once "Lance Stone: Trouble at the Woz" is installed on your hard drive you're
- ready to enter 21st century Los Angeles with our unlikely hero.
-
- Lance, a shy but handsome computer graphics artist, unwittingly becomes
- involved in a vast plan by a ruthless power from another planet to steal the
- very lifeforce of a living being. Assimilated into society, the outworlder's
- insidious objective is interplanetary genocide. All the while, Lance
- unknowingly carries within him the secret that can either save or destroy the
- galaxy. The plot is filled with action and intrigue, leading to a suspenseful
- ending!
-
- HyperComix represents the next generational step in the art of comic books.
- Strictly following the artistic conventions of traditional paper comic books,
- HyperComix is distinguished by several unique features including sound
- effects, spot animation, and branching plot lines which allow the reader to
- follow the story from different points of view!
-
- If you love computers and comic books take a while to step out of the present
- and into the not-so-distant future with Lance Stone!

- INSTRUCTIONS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- To run LANCE STONE: TROUBLE AT THE WOZ type STONE at the prompt, then press
- ENTER.
-
- At this point the opening screen will appear giving you a choice of two
- options:
-
- 1) Continuous mode
- 2) Interactive mode
-
-
- Pushing the '1' key will put you in continuous mode which, in effect, gives
- you little control over the "page turning" process. The story will move along
- at its own pace until the story branches (we'll get to this in a minute) or
- ends. This mode is recommended for a demonstration or for those without a
- mouse.
-
- Hitting the '2' key at the opening screen will activate the interactive mode.
- This mode is recommended if you want the true feel of a comic book. It gives
- you the most control over the "page turning" process and allows you to easily
- enter the branching plot line section of the book.
-
- There are six icons on the bottom of the screen for controlling the action.
- Clicking on the one on the far left with your mouse arrow will let you exit
- the program immediately and return to DOS. The one next to it will return to
- the top of the page. The double arrows facing left will return you to the
- beginning of the book or the last plot branch. The single arrow facing left
- will take you back to the previous page. Click on the single arrow facing
- right and you'll move ahead one page. Clicking on the double arrows facing
- right and will move you ahead to the next plot branch or the end of the book.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- PLOT BRANCHES
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Plot branches are points in the story where you may leave the main story line
- and see the action from a different perspective. In this trial version there
- is only one plot branch. During the story a small "diamond" icon will appear
- in the bar on the bottom of the screen and begin to flash. At this point, if
- you want to view the "branch", you would click on the diamond with your mouse
- arrow (you've got to be quick, though or it will disappear and continue on
- with the main story). Plot branches are just one of the many unique features
- of HyperComix which differentiates it from regular comic books.
