- INTRODUCTION
-
- Hello, this is my first adventure game written in BASIC. I hope you enjoy
- this game and find it as challenging to play as it was to write. I am
- encouraging you to study the structure of the program and write your own. I am
- now working on my second adventure, PIRATE TREASURE, taking place on a pirate
- ship and a desserted island. It should be available soon. Now, on with the
- description:

- DESCRIPTION
-
- Escape From SSADB is a text adventure in the tradition of great adventures
- like Zork by Infocom and Adventure by Scott Adams. This program isn't as
- complicated as Infocom's, which uses full sentences, and only uses two word
- commands like GET KEY or HIT COMPUTER.
- In Escape From SSADB, you are a government agent captured by the Russians
- and taken to a secret base hidden somewhere in the United States. While you are
- there you learn of the Soviet's plans to fire nuclear missles from inside the
- US and make it look like an inside job, thus making the Soviets safe from
- counter attack. You must save the US from nuclear attack by getting out of your
- cell, finding proof about the missles and escape the Top-Secret base. If you
- succeed you will be a national hero; if you fail the US is doomed.
- Now take your trustee brick and newspaper (you'll see in the game) in hand
- and venture forth in to the realm of spies and agents.

- COMMANDS
-
- Listed below are a few simple commands used by the program. Remember, if
- you use a command like THROW ROCK the program will follow by asking you what
- you want to throw it at.

- GET (object) - to take an object
- DROP (object) - to put down an object
- THROW (object) - to throw an object at something
- SCORE - to show your current score
- QUIT (or Q) - to leave the game
- INVENTORY (or I) - to show what you are carrying
