(Oct '90)                    POLARICZE
(Apr '93) updated


They're here!  They've set up a shield around the Arctic keeping the
rest of the world away, including the Armed Forces.  Only one
known man was at the newly built Arctic Armory before the shield
was unleashed.  That one man is you!  Stop them before they steal
our water supply and polaricze the Earth.  This job will take you
through several bad aliens and to the mother ship.  This is where
the leading alien is, so you think!  With long range cameras from
the Armory aliens seem to be ravaging everywhere.  One of those
aliens is just outside the Armory Eyeing out the place.  You can
also see one alien in a human disguise protecting the water system
so the cargo ships carrying the water may link up and pump water
from the ground.  He has apparently acquired a ski mobile some
how, and if you could take this ski mobile it would save valuable
time and make it a whole lot easier getting to the mother ship.
It looks like about a hundred meters to the mother ship, but what
lyes in there is what is startling.

The set-up of Polaricze is simple.  The only files needed in
order to run is POLARICE.PRG,ICETITLE.MBK,DIGITAL.MBK, AND
POLARICZ.MBK.  You must keep the files in the root directory to
play.

Playing Polaricze:  The joystick control of the game is very easy
to master.  Left or Right walks in that direction.  Fire shoots in
the direction in which the character is facing, and pulling down
ducks.  While these directions control the movement while the
character is walking, once you sit down at the ski mobile the
controls change.  You have some very heavy artillery on the ski
mobile which adds several controls while playing the ski mobile.
Pulling left or right while on the ski mobile speeds up in that
direction, thus, moving left or right.  Pushing up launches a
missle, and the Fire Button fires the gun.  At the bottom of the
screen is the displays for the ski mobile.  The screen at the very
left is the number of meters left until you arrive at the mother
ship, and there is an "m" after the number.  On the other screen
which is on the right if this screen contains two numbers.  The
first number on the left is the amount of missles left and is
followed by an "m", and the number next to this one on the right
states the amount of rounds left in the gun chamber and is
followed by and "r"(15 regular shots = 1 round).  Then on the
right of the two screens and on the very right there are several
little icons.  The first one starting from the left contains a
missile, and the next one contains a gun.  For these yellow
usually means operational, Green means Firing, Red means that your
out of that weapon.  The next two icons contains a radar signal
and the one furtherest right contains a small object with an arrow
pointing to an obstacle.  When the radar is flashing this means
that an alien ship is on its way over you.  When the other one
starts flashing this means that you are in an area where large ice
mountains have formed.  Firing missiles hits the alien ships which
flies over head, and since it is so hard to hit these you get two
extra missiles when one of the ships are destroyed.  Though, these
ships are more of a distraction beware of the bombs which they
release.  Firing bullets at the small ice mountains destroys them,
but go easy on your bullets, or you'll find yourself shooting
nothing.  After you make it to the mother ship you will then fight
the last alien.  It is a very good idea to stay on the ground most
of the time unless you are shooting while you are in the this
room.  After you destroy this alien then you must must shoot the
shield generator, and then leave the mother ship.  You have a
small surprise if you make it this far!

Some hints:  Playing this game is easy, but there is a key to
every alien.  Some you have to stay low, and others you have to be
quick and work your way to the right of the screen.

Detailed Hints:

====----- You may not want to read these until you have  -----====
            tried the game and failed to progress


1st Room: the Armory

Just walk to the right until the screen changes.


2nd Room: the first alien

This alien is green and looks like he has horns.  His weapon is a
missile which is released ever so often.  I seem to have the best
luck holding the stick down and between missiles pressing the
button in, but wait a second till after the missile has passed
over your head or in other words do'nt jump up to quick to shoot at
the alien right after the missile has passed.  Also, try to build
a rhythm and stick to it.  There is another key in this whole game
and most of the aliens.  Some aliens, especially, the ones that
are in a fixed spot requires you to get a little close to them and
then shooting, and some requires getting a little closer to than
others.  This particular one about 1/3 to the right should do.
You don't really have to get real close to him, and if you try to
run by him without killing him then kiss one of your lives bye.

3rd room: Hovering aliens

These aliens are continuously travelling at you so you could set
here all day shooting them.  The key is to make your way to the
right.  You don't have to go all the way to the right killing the
aliens.  After you get so far to the right there will be one last
alien which will go bye you and you can't kill him, but he is
harmless and after that one there will not be any more on that
same room. continue this process until the aliens stop coming then
it's safer to go out of the room to the next one.  When you get
closer to the right side of the screen to the point close to where
the aliens will stop coming at you, you will have to speed up your
process.


4th room: alien snake

This room is basically the same as the last on except with a
different creature.


5th room: Human looking alien

This room is fairly simple.  The alien will pause a second after
he aims at you -so hit the ground. Try to get as close to him as
possible and continue to shoot him. He should die rather quickly.


Riding the Ski Mobile:

This is usually not a real problem.  The ship flying overhead
usually never hits you, but it is possible.  The problem with this
level is the snow mountains that you encounter when you pass the 50
m mark.  I usually don't even try to hit the ships flying over
head when I get to the snow mountains.  Oh, when you beat the game
and get board of it, try to get hit by the ship flying above you.
Try to get on the middle or right part of the screen.  It looks
pretty neat, but you may already know what it looks like by then!


The Mother Alien:

Here, we have another easy to beat room.  The alien makes a
hideous noise every so often. Actually thats my voice speeded up a
little bit.  He will shoot after he makes this noise, but he likes
making a racket all the time, and doesn't have to shoot each time.
If you want to play it safe just drop after each noise and pause a
second before getting up. But you can always blast him with the
button held down.


The Last Room:

Now, get ready, this is real hard....  You'll see a contraption in
about the middle of the room blinking.  Shoot it.  Just make sure
it blows up.

Press L for cheater, but the lives don't appear until you get
killed. They are also off center if the number is above 9.

That's all Folks:

Except for the ending and all that I'm going to tell you about it
is that the guy in the blue suit is suppose to be the president or
somebody in the armed forces that is popular.  Don't forget to
wave!!!!

See ya'll later and I hope you enjoy the program.  This program may
be passed on to friends or uploaded to BBSs'. Just make sure that
this text file is with the program.
