Laser/The/Instruxns

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

 Eek! There appears to be a problem with the Sheepwell reactor - it keeps
 going critical and in hot weather melts down. You play the role of
 "Chin-up" Bill in his Laserdrive - the only man who can stop potential
 catastrophe by firing a laser bolt directly into the heart of the reactor
 thus causing a controlled(!) destruction of the whole plant. 
 Of course it's not as easy as that as the reactor is protected by 
 concrete blocks - some immoveable, others you can destroy with your laser. 
 You'll have to deflect the laser round the blocks by strategic placing of
 mirrors which are not only portable but rotateable. 

 Naturally, as there is no threat to life around reactors you will find an
 abundance of sheep which for some unconnected reason glow phosphorescent
 green when the reactor begins to go critical. As the heat and radiation
 builds the sheep then turn day-glo pink and grow two heads - probably due
 to the nitrogen in the soil or excessive high spirits. This indicates 
 imminent meltdown so you'd better hurry or that's mutton off the menu for
 a few weeks! 
 
 If you fail to destroy the reactor in time it obliges by self-destructing
 but takes you with it. Don't worry if your hair falls out and your gums
 turn blue, it just reflects a poor northern diet. However, if you can
 destroy it, the authorities then sneak away and build an even more
 ingeniously protected reactor just as reassuringly safe as the last one.

 So once again you take your half-life in your hands to save the planet
 from a disaster totally unlikely to occur; or if it does one you'll never
 hear about anyway!

                             - KEYS -

                           Z    =    LEFT
                           X    =    RIGHT
                           "    =    UP
                           ?    =    DOWN
                      RETURN    =    FIRE LASER

                         ALT    =    Pick up / Drop mirror
                           A    =    Rotate mirror anti-clockwise
                           S    =    Rotate mirror clockwise

 

 Notes:

 LASERFIRE
         
 You cannot fire the laser from "dangerzones" which are depicted by the
 familiar radio activity symbols (grey squares).
 You cannot fire if you are positioned over a mirror or sheep either.
 If you have moved onto a dangerzone when laserfire hits the reactor
 you will be obliterated too. You cannot destroy the dark grey blocks
 but you can blast away the blue 'uns! (Which then turn into dangerzones)

 MIRRORS

 By placing mirrors you can delect the laser - especially helpful as you
 can place the mirrors where you could not normally fire from like
 dangerzones or between blocks. Be careful only to strike the mirror's
 reflective side or else it will be destroyed - you will need them all
 (I think!). Mirrors can be rotated either when picked up or if you are
 just positioned over one. I don't think you can put a mirror over a
 stunned sheep - see below for details!

 SHEEP

 The sheep are, let's face it, a damn nuisance and keep getting in your way.
 You can shoot the sheep but for some unaccountable reason the laser only
 stuns 'em rendering them immobile for a while. Owing to natural evolution
 the sheep soon recuperate and serve as indicators to the reactor status. 

 WARNING
 
 After this game you may perhaps develop an irrational hatred of all things
 woollen or grow two heads. However this is nothing to worry about since
 eating radioactive lamb cuts down on lighting bills as you will be able
 to see it glowing in the dark and therefore save dwindling fuel resources. 
 
 Having two heads may also make you think twice about "safe" nuclear fuels.

 
 AND FINALLY...

 That was a partly political broadcast on behalf of the "Head in the Sand"
 party.

 Now then, where was I? Oh yes, just white-washing the windows and taking
 the doors off their hinges.....
