- SPEAR OF DESTINY
- ================
-
- Spear of Destiny brings virtual reality to the PC, hurling you into an
- intense battle between good and evil in which only you can save the world!
- A breathtaking musical soundtrack sets the mood, while amazing
- ``first person'' visual perspective and spectacular digital stereo sound
- effects give an experience like no other game you've ever played!
-
- It's World War II and you are B.J. Blazkowicz, the Allies' most durable
- agent. In the midst of the German Blitzkrieg, the Spear that pierced the
- side of Christ is taken from Versailles by the Nazis and secured in the
- impregnable Castle Wolfenstein! According to legend, no man can be
- defeated when he has the Spear. Hitler believes himself to be invincible
- with the power of the Spear as his army of destruction sweeps across Europe.
-
- Your mission is to recapture the Spear from an already unbalanced Hitler,
- with the hope that the loss of his most coveted weapon will push him over
- the edge! You must infiltrate the heavily guarded Nazi stronghold and
- time is running out!
-
- In your quest to recover the Spear, you will encounter the exciting and
- hazardous challenges, secret doorways to hidden passages, gruesome mutants,
- and powerful monster-like ``bosses''. All this in the midst of the massive
- fire-power of well trained enemy soldiers throughout the castle! See if
- you have the ``right stuff'' to accomplish the most dangerous mission of
- the war!
-
- This is a complete two-level playable version of Spear of Destiny - a
- Wolfenstein 3D Graphic Adventure. Your mission is to make your way
- safely through each of the levels to find the elevator to the next floor.
- On the way, you'll have to fight your way past the guards - they'll kill
- you if you don't get them first!
-
- Setup
- -----
-
- If you have an AdLib, Sound Source, or Sound Blaster compatible sound
- device, you're in for a special treat. Spear of Destiny features an
- original musical score, and digitized sound effects. If you're using
- a Sound Blaster, make sure there's a line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT similar
- to: BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T2.
-
- Free up as much memory as possible. The more there is, the faster and
- smoother the game will run.
-
- Playing the Game
- ----------------
-
- Start the game by typing SOD.
-
- You will be able to control the game using your mouse, joystick or
- keyboard. All the controls are configurable from the menu within the
- game.
-
- The primary game actions are: movement, opening doors or passages, and
- shooting.
-
- MOVEMENT is accomplished by using the [up] and [down] arrows to move
- forward or backward. You can turn to the left or right using the [left]
- or [right] arrow keys. The joystick and mouse can also be used and work
- as you'd expect. The mouse is, by far, the best way to control movement.
- You can move sideways (instead of turning) by holding the right mouse
- button down. This is extremely useful for looking around corners where
- danger may be lurking.
-
- OPENING doors or passages is done with the [space] bar. To open a door,
- you need to move right up to it and then press [space]. The door will
- open, and remain open for a few seconds, and will then close
- automatically unless you or one of the other characters is in the doorway.
- There are many secret passages in the game which are hidden behind objects
- on the walls or behind ordinary wall panels. They are opened in the same
- way doors are. Hint: there's a secret panel in the back of the first
- alcove to the left when you start the game.
-
- SHOOTING is done with the [Ctrl] key, the joystick button, or left mouse
- button. Naturally, you need to be aiming your gun at the enemy you intend
- to shoot. There are a number of weapons you can choose from, and they are
- selected with the [1],[2],[3] and [4] keys. The [1] key selects the
- knife, [2] selects the pistol, [3] and [4] selects the machine guns
- (which you'll have to find before you can use them).
-
- GAME SPEED and smoothness can be controlled by changing the size of the
- view port. If you're using a 386/25 or higher you'll be able to get very
- smooth action with a full screen view. If your system is a little slower,
- you can improve the speed of the game by making the view port smaller.
-
- Playing Tips
- ------------
-
- You can pick up any treasure you find by simply running over it. The
- treasure is what gives you points, and most of it is hidden in secret
- passages. You'll have to explore carefully, pressing on the walls to
- find them. A good player will be able to rack up at least 100,000 points
- in the demo.
-
- Ammunition is all-important to your survival in the game. You can take
- the blue ammunition pouches from the guards you shoot by running over
- them. There are also a number of ammunition stores in the game, some
- in the secret passages. Finding these will be essential to your survival.
