File contents
This is a game which I believe came from BBC PD a few years ago. I doesn't have any copy right messages so it is difficult to tell. I am not very good at making up senarios so the description for this game may sound a little bland. In playing it is a lot more fun. Anyway you have to move a character around the screen using the :/zx keys. A bomb has to be defused and this is done by sorrounding it with four round stones. Then there are a number of round white objects which have a sort of nuclear symbol inside them. These need to be pushed into a white square shape. You alse need to destroy all the 'soil', consume the stars and then you go onto the next screen. There is also an EDITOR so that you can design your own screens. This is what I did, mine is called EUG1. Each screen file has four screens but for some reason it doesn't seem to be possable to immediatly load a new file when the fourth screen is competed. The gane is loaded by chaining the file WADGE. You are asked if you want the game or the editor. Press G and you will be asked for a file type in EUG1 The first screen is fairly simple and designed to show what you may find in the game. Oh and I forgot to say there are two timeers counting down, one is for the bomb and will stop when the bomb is defused, the other is for the rest of the game. Consuming the diamond shapes boosts the time on this second clock. The editor will present a blank screen. You can load a file to contimue working on it by pressing L and save a file by pressing S. The RETURN key will fix a shape in a position and the SPACE bar will remove it. The keys A, B, C and D will swap between each of the four screen on the file, they don't all need to be finished to tryout your file. Finally the < and > keys will scrol through the various shapes available. There is one shape which looks like a white monster. I haven't used this one because I cannot figure out how to destroy it and without destroying it you can't go into the next screen. You might work this out. The game is fum and can be interesting. If you design a file sent it in and we can all try it out. If you want to move the game to another disc the files are called: CODE1 CODE2 CHARS EDITOR MAIN WADGE EUG1 Gus
