Trueblood: The Karthanian Ultimatum
By the year 2354, Earth has entered the galactic community.
The 21st century development of the Pagano Light Drive was a technological
metamorphosis for the human race. As the airplane had reduced the relative
time size of the earth during the 20th century, so the light drive had done
for the solar system and nearby stars. Then in the late 21st century the
development of the Schindler Time Engine openned the door to the galaxy.
It was during this period that the Earthlings made contact with the
Karthanian Empire.
The Karthanian Empire covers a third of the galaxy. This empire has been in
existence for over 1,000 years. Karthanian technology is highly advanced,
with the Light Drive and Time Engine being its only equal in the universe.
The Karthanians have but one objective: complete and utter control of
everything within their grasp.
As we enter this future world you will control the fate of Colonel Truman E.
Bloodworth, alias True Blood. He is a highly skilled and aggressive test
pilot for the new armification effort. He is one of the few remaining pure
blood homo sapiens left on Earth, or in the entire galaxy for that matter.
Hence, because of his blood line and his name, his friends call him True Blood.
Playing the game
----------------
To begin the game, type TRUBLOOD. If you have a Sound Blaster or compatible
sound card music and digitized sound effects will play throughout the game.
Sound effects only will play if you have only the PC speaker. To toggle
music off/on during the game, press ALT-M. To toggle sound effects, press
ALT-S.
True Blood contains seven levels of pulsating action. During the first level
you encounter Karthanian scout ships. Although unarmed, these ships carry
additional lives, lasers, and shields that you may acquire.
As you progress through the game two bonus levels allow you to pick additional
lives, lasers, and shields. It is likely that you will need them. As you get
closer and closer to the Karthanian stronghold, you will eventually be called
on to destroy the Karthanian base, called The Citadel. It will take many
shots from your weapons to destroy this. When you score a hit it will change
color for a brief instant. As part of its defenses The Citadel rotates, and
Karthanian warships will come at you in waves in an attempt to drive you off.
Finally you will come upon the Karthanian Mother Ship. Once you destroy it
you have successfully accomplished your mission.
Good luck. You will need it.
