-
- Welcome to Alpha Man. This game will test your problem solving
- abilities, as you try to solve 25 word puzzles.
-
-
- OBJECTIVE
-
- The object of the game is quite simple. Each puzzle has the
- letters for the word located somewhere on the 7 x 11 grid
- board. Each letter is contained in a block which when pushed
- by your man, (Alpha Man), will slide in that direction until
- it either hits the side of the grid board or another block.
- The objective is to push all the letter blocks onto the
- corresponding letters that are located somewhere else on the
- game board.
-
-
- PERSONAL SCORE CARDS
-
- When playing the game for the first time, the program will ask
- you to create your own personal score card. There can be up to
- five individual player cards. These personal score cards will
- keep track of your number of moves and attempts for each
- word puzzle. When you solve a puzzle, it will be recorded as
- *SOLVED* on your score card. If you have solved that puzzle
- with the least amount of moves on record, then your initials and
- scores for that word puzzle will be entered on the Best Scores
- List.
-
-
-
- ALPHA MAN & THE MASTER BLOCK
-
-
- You control Alpha Man by using the arrow keys. There is one Green
- Block called the Master Block for each puzzle. This block does
- not slide when pushed, it will move only one grid at a time when
- pushed by Alpha Man. This Master Block can be positioned so that
- the letter blocks, when pushed, will slide into it and can then be
- strategically positioned into the right places on the grid board.
-
- The concept is very easy, yet the actual solving of each puzzle
- is quite difficult as you will soon discover.
-
-
-
-
-
- KEYS & SOLUTIONS & TAKE BACK MOVE
-
-
- To get you started, I have provided the solutions to the first 5
- puzzle words. If you select one of the first 5 words, you can see
- Alpha Man solve the puzzle for you by pressing the s<O>lution
- button. Some might consider this cheating, but perhaps by
- letting Alpha Man solve puzzle #1, you can see how the game
- is played. I have also included a take back move for those times
- when you make a mistake that make the puzzle impossible to solve.
- This take back move records only the last move made, so if you make
- a mistake and want to take back your last move, then immediately
- push the <T>ake back key. This too, could be called cheating but
- it's up to you whether or not you want to use it.
-
-
-
- All the Key Definitions are shown on the screen at all times.
- They are as follows:
-
- MAIN MENU KEYS
-
- <I>nstructions
- <C>hange Players Allows you to change players and score cards.
- <B>est Scores Shows the Best Scores for the Word Puzzle
- <Q>uit Alpha Man
-
-
-
- * NOTE WINDOWS USERS *
-
- Running Alpha Man under Windows may cause unexpected results
- The game should be played by loading it directly from
- the Dos prompt.
