- PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
-
-
- Have you ever felt the rush of 50,000 volts as an electric shock
- jolts through your body? Have you ever been tormented by angry
- pillows in the middle of the night? Have you ever fallen off a
- six story platform and lived to tell about it? Not many people
- have, but you will... So put on your jogging shoes and say
- goodbye to your next of kin, because you have an appointment with
- the doctor!
-
- Welcome to Dr. Sleeptite And The Nightmare Factory.
-
- Deep in the heart of the Mojave Desert, the mad Dr. Sleeptite has
- been hard at work developing a machine that creates nightmares.
- No one knows where the doctor is, but his automated underground
- complex still continues to produce its fiendish product.
-
- Your job (as Restless Ralph Runabout) is to traverse six levels of
- Dr. Sleeptite's Nightmare Factory, to destroy his Nightmare
- Capsules, and attempt to shutdown his Dream Machine. Sounds
- easy? Not when you're being chased about by the doctor's first
- invention: Killer Pillows!

- while traversing certain game level areas. Unfortunately, these
- areas can only be found by trial and error!
-
- * Study the different screens before running yourself to death! Use
- caution when crossing bridges. Bridges disappear once they are
- crossed, and can leave you stranded if you are not careful.
-
- * The mad Dr's. Dream Machine is destroyed upon contact by Ralph.
-
- * Try to avoid contact with Power Transformers.
-
- * You can jump off a level and survive, as long as you land
- directly on top of a nightmare capsule.
-
- * Avoid Acid Pits. Any contact with an Acid Pit is fatal!
-
- * You can jump off of a fire-pole and survive, as long as you are
- parallel with a solid level in the direction of the jump.
-
- * Stand still when riding elevators! Horizontal movement can cause
- ralph to lose balance, and fall off a lift.
-
- * Before advancing to the next level, you must successfully destroy
- all Nightmare Capsules on the current level, then escape through
- the 'OUT' door.
