Note:
To load the game, first boot up your Workbench disk. Then insert
your Coverdisk in the disk drive, and double click on its icon.
When the drive light goes out, double click on the Island icon.
Island of Nephoton
------------------
Introduction:
The idea for the game came from the need for a project to help me
to learn to program in Lattice C. It started off as a simple text
recognition program and expanded. I will be the first to admit that
it isn't brilliant - but it's not easy to complete and quite a fun
challenge.
The Game:
This is a simple adventure game based on text input with no graphics
(sorry). The basic idea of the game is to save the world from an
invasion from the people of the planet Nephoton. The game starts as
a spacecraft has been tracked through space into the Earth's
atmosphere, down to a small island in the Pacific ocean. Your job is
to save the world by going to the island and destroying the
spacecraft.
The game loads in one block from the disk so there is no need to
leave the disk in the drive.
Keyboard Input:
The input to the game is through the keyboard, that is you enter
words and press the return key. All commands can are fairly short
and simple, to make the game easy to play. Only the first three
letters of any word are needed for it to be recognised by the
program. There is no save or Load commands as the game is not too
big to be completed in one session. A list of some of the commands
available can be called up by pressing the help key.
