Dungeon

S5 DUNGEON v1.1 ---------------- Introduction. ----------------- Dungeon is a 3d graphical monster shoot-em-up. The object of the game is to search each dungeon level collecting energy orbs. When these are all collected you are able to enter the teleport and beam to the next level. Each level, however, is inhabited by nasty monsters intent on killing you. You have a choice. Run away, or blow them away with your shotgun! The monsters are quite persistent and can creep up from behind or from the side as well as straight ahead. They can't harm you if they are diagonally away from you. You can hear them coming and there are also monster attack indicators around the playscreen indicating the direction the monster attacks are coming from. On the right side of the screen is an automap showing your direction, current position and areas explored. The game ends when your strength reaches zero. This only goes up when you start a new level so keep an eye on this. Your shotgun ammo also goes down, but collecting an energy orb will increase it. The teleport looks like an electric field and can only be stepped into when all the orbs are collected. Killing monsters may take several shots depending on the monster strength chosen using the options. Options. ---------- When the game starts the menu screen appears and presents you with several menus. Most are self explanatory. Some menus are only available to registered users. Unregistered users can only play the first dungeon (There are twenty levels). Also, they cannot jump to other levels using the code words given during the game. Orb positions are also fixed, and will be the same each time. All the other options are available as normal. Registered users can enter level codes to play where they left off previously. Also they can randomise orb positions making levels more interesting when played again. All users can increase the number of monsters their strength and speed, but be prepared for a tough game! Upon registering, you will receive your own personal access code which will free the whole game from all restrictions. Control Keys. ----------------- Use the up and down cursor keys for forward and back. Left and right cursor keys to turn sideways. Fn key plus cursor left or right to step sideways. Spacebar to fire the gun. (Shotgun range is two places.) Esc or menu quits to main menu. You can also control the whole game using the pen. Just tap the on screen direction arrows or fire to make the appropriate move. This can be sensitive, so watch for double moves. With a bit of practise I think this method works very well and becomes second nature. Installing. ------------- The game consists of the following files. Dungeon.app Dungeon.dat Gun Attack Far Wall Readme.txt These files should have unzipped into a directory called Dungeon. Simply drag this whole directory onto your Psion`s SYSTEM/APPS directory using explorer. You should end up with the directory C:\system\apps\dungeon on your Psion containing all the game files. If you have any extra memory, you can also install it on your D drive using the above method. Dungeon will also create a small file in your System directory when first run for registration purposes. When installed, Dungeon will add an icon to the extras bar. Just select this to run the program. Updating -------- When updating from version 1.0, just replace the files Dungeon.app and Dungeon.dat Registering. --------------- This program, and all shareware, takes a lot of time and effort to write. If you like it please register. Software authors will be much more likely to continue writing if they know their work is appreciated. Dungeon registration is 10 pounds payable by English cheque, Euro cheque in sterling, cash sterling or English Postal order. Foreign cheques or currency are okay, but must be made for the equivalent of 15 pounds sterling to cover bank charges.
