- Blackstar - Agent of Justice
-
- This game is a graphic adventure. You are sent on a quest and your goal
- is to complete the task at hand. Along the way, you will pick up and use
- objects which aid in your quest. You'll talk to people ... you may even kill
- someone. Don't worry, you won't be killed in this game ... being such a stud
- an all. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't save often, which is always a
- good idea in a game such as this.
-
- There are four basic icons you will see. Each represents a specific
- function. As you move your mouse around, the icons will change to the
- appropriate icon for the situation.
-
- The pointer is the default icon. Use it to click on inventory items and
- other interface areas.
-
- The hands are used to GET an item as well as LOOK at an item. Click on
- something to GET it, and read the message when you pass over an item to
- LOOK at it.
-
- The walking icon indicates you can WALK to another area. Click to move
- to a new scene.
-
- The mouth means you can TALK to that person. Click to start
- a conversation.
-
- An innovative feature of this game is the THINK icon. Simply pass the
- cursor over Blackstar's head and his eyes will close as if he is deep in
- thought. Click while the eyes are closed and Blackstar will reveal his
- feelings about the scene or situation. Often his feelings might be considered
- hints.
-
- To see your inventory of items, pass the cursor over Blackstar's coat and
- it will highlight. Click on the coat and whatever Blackstar is carrying
- will appear. Click on an item and it will appear in the inventory box. If you
- do not want to use something, move the cursor outside of the inventory area.
-
- Click on the item in the inventory box and USE it on something or someone.
- Your cursor will change to that object until you attempt to use it.
-
- To move around town, click on the Map icon and a map of the city will
- appear. Just click on a spot and if you are allowed to go there, you will now
- be there. Simple as that.
-
- To Save, Restore, Quit or do other system functions, click on the
- Floppy icon and a menu will appear. Pick your choices from the menus which
- pop up. The Mouse menu changes the sensitivity of the mouse.
- S = slow ... M = medium ... F = fast.
-
- Don't forget that to clear the text, you must click the right mouse button.
- If you learn to do this properly, the game will play much smoother. Most text
- lines can be read over and over, so don't panic if you miss a message.
-
- Remember to try anything. Talk to anyone you can. Go back to places again
- since you never know when something or someone will show up. As in real
- life, opportunities to gather information may only happen once, so if you
- feel something is important, write it down. If certain situations don't make
- sense, they will if you order Episode Two, although this game does have a
- specific quest to solve. That's about it. Please enjoy the game.
