- Trueblood: The Karthanian Ultimatum
-
- By the year 2354, Earth has entered the galactic community.
-
- The 21st century development of the Pagano Light Drive was a technological
- metamorphosis for the human race. As the airplane had reduced the relative
- time size of the earth during the 20th century, so the light drive had done
- for the solar system and nearby stars. Then in the late 21st century the
- development of the Schindler Time Engine openned the door to the galaxy.
-
- It was during this period that the Earthlings made contact with the
- Karthanian Empire.
-
- The Karthanian Empire covers a third of the galaxy. This empire has been in
- existence for over 1,000 years. Karthanian technology is highly advanced,
- with the Light Drive and Time Engine being its only equal in the universe.
- The Karthanians have but one objective: complete and utter control of
- everything within their grasp.
-
- As we enter this future world you will control the fate of Colonel Truman E.
- Bloodworth, alias True Blood. He is a highly skilled and aggressive test
- pilot for the new armification effort. He is one of the few remaining pure
- blood homo sapiens left on Earth, or in the entire galaxy for that matter.
- Hence, because of his blood line and his name, his friends call him True
- Blood.
-
- Playing the game
- ----------------
- To begin the game, type TRUBLOOD. If you have a Sound Blaster or compatible
- sound card music and digitized sound effects will play throughout the game.
- Sound effects only will play if you have only the PC speaker. To toggle
- music off/on during the game, press ALT-M. To toggle sound effects, press
- ALT-S.
-
- True Blood contains seven levels of pulsating action. During the first
- level you encounter Karthanian scout ships. Although unarmed, these ships
- carry additional lives, lasers, and shields that you may acquire.
-
- As you progress through the game two bonus levels allow you to pick up
- additional lives, lasers, and shields. It is likely that you will need
- them. As you get closer and closer to the Karthanian stronghold, you will
- eventually be called on to destroy the Karthanian base, called The Citadel.
- It will take many shots from your weapons to destroy this. When you score
- a hit it will change color for a brief instant. As part of its defenses
- The Citadel rotates, and Karthanian warships will come at you in waves in
- an attempt to drive you off.
-
- Finally you will come upon the Karthanian Mother Ship. Once you destroy it
- you have successfully accomplished your mission.
-
- Good luck. You will need it.
