NIGHTWING
Written by Clive Wilson (Ulterior Motives)
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (C64 Version)
Scenario
Winging through time upon the back of a giant bird, you find yourself in a huge dome. ahead is a
tableau on which you see that Earth is void of humanity who fled aeons ago. Unlock the secrets of
the dome and so return humanity to the land. Seek out the Sacred Texts which contain clues to the
means of returning the Old Ones.
Notes
1. A special command RECALL allows you to view any of the texts once you have found them.
2. Once you have entered a scenario you cannot use the elevator again until you have found the
text.
3. If at any time your score falls to zero you die. To replenish energy you should rest or sleep.
4. Wisdom is gained by doing things correctly but is lost much more quickly by doing things
wrongly.

(redescribe), TYPE ACTIVE (a unit opens and a phasex pops out), GET PHASEX, EXAMINE PHASEX
(it's a small laser pistol), TYPE ENVIRONMENT (you've accessed the environment screen),
TYPE DEACT (you have now switched off the environment protection), S, W, N, N (you can now go east
because you deactivated the environment), E (into building - you find text Alpha), W (a squad of

redliq which you find later to counteract the poison), E (computer room), EXAMINE COMPUTER, GET
BUBBLER, EXAMINE BUBBLER (it's a small bubble memory cartridge - however it won't run on
this machine), W, W (crew's quarters), MOVE MATTRESS (beneath it you find a sheet of
plastowood), GET PLASTOWOOD, N (library - the visidisc you find here is used in the room to the
west, but if you get it and go west a droidkin locks the door behind you and you are trapped with no
way out - the visidisc when placed in the vidiplayer gives information on how to control the ship. -
make sure you quicksave first if you wish to try it), E (back to bridge - if you try to go east from
here you will be told the elevator is not here at present).

sequence - if you go east in to the elevator the ship will blast off killing you), N (back to

vanishes).

ROBOMASTER (he is transfixed by it's beauty - now you can get closer), USE SCRAMBLER (it
scrambles his brains), E (Text Delta is here - the final of the four texts), W, W, S, S, E, N
(before you stands supabrain computer), SCORE (at this point you must have gained sufficient wisdom
to operate the supabrain), EXAMINE SUPABRAIN (on one side you see a bubble memory port), INSERT
BUBBLE IN PORT (it hums into life - the four sacred texts present you with four numbers "SIX
TWO ONE FIVE" - the first text gives you the clue that each number is less than the previous),
TYPE SIX FIVE TWO ONE (as the supabrain comes to life so a shimmering appears in front of you...
then the room is filled with humanity as the lost ones return... with their arms around your
shoulders, they thank you and show you the way back through the radix to your own time... as they
fade so does the memory).
