Choose your language by pressing either F1 or F2. The setup program will display a menu of choices about your system hardware and game options. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor, and the enter key selects an option. When changing the game and opening delays, press the up or down arrow key to change the value. The data directory should be set to the current directory unless you are running World Quest from a CD-ROM. If this is the case, then set the data directory to a drive where your configuration files and high scores may be written. Once you have saved your configuration in a data directory, you should always run World Quest and the setup program from the WQ2DATA directory by running the following batch files: wqsetup.bat - Runs the setup program wqe.bat - Runs World Quest (English version) wqd.bat - Runs World Quest (German version) If you do not run the programs from this directory, they will not be able to find your configuration for the game. 浜様様様様様 Main Menu 藩様様様様様 The menu looks like this: Play Game Enter Level Code Instructions Ordering Info Credits High Scores Quit Game Use the arrow keys (or joystick) to select an option, and hit return (or press joystick button) to execute the option. High scores are viewed only from the main menu. To reset the high score table, delete the file high.sco. After reading the info on the main menu, select start game to begin your quest. You must venture around the surface of several planets, in order to destroy the aliens populating the area. Once you've secured the planet, your race can begin rebuilding its own cities. 浜様様様様様様様 Game Controls 藩様様様様様様様 浜様様様様融 Keyboard 藩様様様様夕 Arrow keys: Move ship CTRL: Shoot missiles ALT: Drop bomb 浜様様様様融 Joystick 藩様様様様夕 Joystick: Move ship Button 1: Shoot missiles Button 2: Drop bomb 浜様様様様様様様 Miscellaneous 藩様様様様様様様 Space: Drop nuke Esc: End game F1: Pause game F2: SB Music on/off F3: SB New song F4: SB Effects on/off + Increase Game Speed - Decrease Game Speed The alien defense bases will shoot at you using various types of missiles, which you must avoid. Some bases are placed so you must destroy them with a bomb. You must use some strategy to destroy the bases with the least amount of damage to your own ship. To rescue a hostage, first shoot the buildings they are being held in. They will start running around, trying to get your attention. To pick them up, simply move on to them. They will get into your ship and be transported to your home planet. If you only have one ship left, and your shields are below half, the screen will begin to flash purple, as a warning that you should be more careful. If you are using the commercial version of World Quest, press L while playing the game for extra lives when you're in trouble. This allows you to play the whole game without using level codes. 浜様様様様様様 Level Codes 藩様様様様様様 Each level has a level code that you can enter. If you type in a correct code, the game will begin at that level. Level codes are shown on the status screen after you've finished a level. Be using level codes, you will be able to play all of the levels, however your score will start at 0 regardless of where you begin. 浜様様様様様様様様様 About World Quest 藩様様様様様様様様様 World Quest V2.0b was created with the WordUp Graphics Toolkit V4.0.
