Bad News -------- Your extremely dangerous mission is to FIND THOSE PLANS AT ANY COST! Bad News -------- In order to try and throw the enemy off your trail, we have decided to "STAGE" YOUR DEATH! and give you a new identity. Your new name is "MIKE RODOT". Question? --------- Is there any good news? Answer ------ Yes, you can have fun doing the whole mission without even leaving the comfort of your home computer! Playing the Game ---------------- SPYTREK - At last, a truly original and amusing adventure featuring colourful high res' graphics and brain teasing problems for you to overcome! The Adventure begins with you lying flat in a COFFIN! But later you will find yourself in an AEROPLANE, a mountain CABLE-CAR and even punting a GONDOLA along a VENICE CANAL! Playing Instructions -------------------- To move around and perform any actions in the game, you must enter instructions in the form of sentences. "Spytrek" has a large vocabulary and is very flexible in understanding your commands. i.e.: Simple commands: "NORTH" moves you north. "EXAMINE THE TRAMP" will give you a closer look at the tramp, etc. More complex commands: "TAKE THE PILL AND SWALLOW IT", or perhaps "TAKE THE WIG, WEAR IT THEN ENTER THE HOLE". Sentences may be strung together using "AND", "THEN" or simply a comma ",". Note that the game will automatically interpret "IT" as meaning the last noun you typed. i.e.: In the above example - The WIG. During your mission you will meet some other mostly helpful characters. Try communicating with them by asking or talking to them. l.e. - "TALK TO THE DRIVER" or maybe if you can't do something yourself, ask one of the characters to do it for you! Typing "HELP" may sometimes give a useful clue. Typing "WORDS" will switch graphics off. "PICTURES" will turn them back on. Note that you do not need to type the "speech marks" when entering commands. Above all have fun and try to imagine that you really are there... But then you ARE!... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | Loading Instructions | | | | Type LOAD"" and press ENTER.
