- Your Quest
- ----------
- It's long after the nuclear war and the only surviving humans live
- in a few domes across the country. You are the fiercest warrior of
- the age and a refugee from Oil City, one of these domes.
-
- You received a strange message from Hoosier City, another domed
- city. It seemed to be a distress call but was abruptly terminated
- at the source before you could be sure. No messages have been
- received since.
-
- You must go to Hoosier City by helicopter and check out what has
- happened. As you arrive at the Hoosier City dome you are attacked
- by its automatic defense system. You skillfully pilot your copter
- between the enemy pods and take out an enemy gun position with your
- rocket. Then you approach the landing pad.
-
- Upon landing on the dome you take the elevator down to the center of
- the city. You walk out and the elevator doors lock securely behind
- you. Immediately you notice that the inhabitants of Hoosier City
- are hideous mutants. You know now that you must rid the city of the
- evil mutants and discover the fate of the true citizens of the city.
-
- A few of the citizens may still be in the dome. If they are they
- will help you complete your mission. But unfortunately the only
- weapon you possess is a sword. Nevertheless you are determined to
- be victorious.

- The Hoosier City Dome
- ---------------------
- The dome is an incredibly large structure. It occupies many square
- miles and is inhabited by various creatures. Some are friendly but
- most are not. The dome was constructed over a lake to provide water
- for the inhabitants.
-
- You may enter most structures. The entrances to some are hidden.
- To discover the entrances to these you must listen to friendly
- citizens hiding in Hoosier City. You will find them hiding in caves
- and other places. They may also tell you how to find weapons and
- equipment guarded by the inhabitants of the dome.
-
- There are many underground caves, passageways and secret places in the
- Hoosier City dome. Discovering and exploring these is crucial for a
- successful completion of your mission.
-
- Some areas of the dome are sectioned off by doors. To open these
- doors you must have a key of the corresponding color. You must have a
- pass card to open security doors. White doors and secret passageways
- open without keys. Opening chests also requires keys of the
- corresponding color.
-
-
- Treasures
- ---------
- Scattered around the dome are items you will need to succeed in your
- mission. These include the following:
-
- Money bags -- These contain anywhere from $50 to $250. Money can be
- used to buy ammo from the various Bob's Stores in the Dome.
-
- Dollar Signs ($) -- These give you $1,000.
-
- Hearts -- Picking up hearts adds to your health quotient.
-
- Half Hearts -- adds to your health quotient.
-
- Full Hearts -- These bring your health to its current maximum.
-
- Health Vials -- These bring you to full health and extend your health
- meter.
-
- Life -- adds a life to your current game.
-
- Keys -- Picking up green or red keys adds to your respective totals.
- They can be used to open doors or treasure chests.
-
- Freeze Clock -- stops all enemies for a short period of time.
-
- Zap -- kills all enemies with poor armor that are on the current
- screen.
-
- Weapons
- -------
- Following the letter W on the upper left of the game screen is a
- weapons list. Initially it is blank because you have no weapons.
- When you acquire a weapon it will appear there. There are many
- different weapons you may discover. The sword and the axe have
- unlimited ammo. All other weapons have limited ammo. The number of
- shots remaining appear under the weapon.
-
-
- Equipment
- ---------
- You must find four pieces of equipment. These are armor for
- smashing rocks and taking half the damage your enemies inflict on
- you, the flashlight for seeing underground, the boat for navigating
- across water, and the aqualung for underwater travel.
