Hints on Playing Darklands
--------------------------
Using common sense will undoubtably see you through to the end. Sometimes a
policy of attack and ask questions later is a sure fired way of getting into
a lot of trouble. Asking characters that you come across, for help, will be
rewarded with valuable information. Certain weapons are useless against some
adversaries, so choose your weapons well!
Once combat is entered into, it will continue until either you and your
opponent is DEAD - There is no SURRENDER!
There are over 200 locations within the game and many characters for you to
interact with. The object is to find three pieces of paper and take them to
a secret location, where you will be rewarded for your gallant efforts.
There are many verbs catered for including EAT, DRINK, ASK, ATTACK, WAIT,
HELP, TAKE, GIVE, DROP, Etc. If you have trouble making your intentions clear
think of another way of saying it.
Due to the size of this adventure and the dangers it contains, it is prudent
to SAVE your position to disc periodically.
The music can be turned off and on using SOUND OFF/SOUND ON. You can also
fade the music out by using SOUND FADE.
The grahics can be turned off and on by using GRAPHICS OFF/GRAPHICS ON.
RSAVE will save your current status to RAM. RLOAD will load your last saved
status from RAM.
The game runs in MODE 15, this must be selected from the desktop before you
start the game. Your USER MANUAL will explain how to do this if you are not
sure.
All that remains to say is Happy Adventuring and be HONEST!
Until the next, even bigger, even better, adventure.
Goodbye and Goodluck.
