THE COVENANT
PSS 1985
CONTROLS : Keyboard, Kempston, Cursor
---------------------------------------------------------------------
AIM : The eponymous Covenant refer to a long lost parchment which
carries the entire cultural record of long dead people, who have now
mutated and are scattered along with fragments of the Covenant among
the 256 caverns of a subterranean world. Your task is to find the 64
pieces of parchment and also to gather the mutant creatures, so that
when you have the complete parchment the planet surface can be
repopulated.
GAMEPLAY : You travel in a globe armed with a stun gun. The globe
itself is rather difficult to control! Whenever you or it come into
contact with a creature, energy will be lost, so your first task in
any cavern is to stun the creatures within andtake them on board by
manoeuvring your craft over them.
The whole cave system is divided up into blocks of four rooms. Each
area has a key, a piece of the Covenant and some anaesthetic. The
latter refils the stun gun; you must stun all the creatures in a
zone before you can move onto the next area.
You only have one life, so be careful! However, lost energy can be
regained by standing on a power point. At any stage of the game you
can see your current status by pressing the space bar.
COMMENTS : "An inspired but difficult game."
RATING : 83% (CRASH #19, August 1985)
NOW : A somewhat weird game with nice graphics, but just too hard (for
me, at any rate).
