- 3DHOUSE3 - by Charles Carr
- Version 3 - February 1993
-
- To run 3DHOUSE3, type [RUNVGA 3DHOUSE3.RUN]. Make sure both files are
- in the path. When the title menu comes up, choose '3' if you have a
- mouse. It can easily be used with the keyboard though, and SHOULD work
- as-is with a joystick. Give it a try.
-
- If you have a SoundBlaster or Adlib compatible sound card you'll be
- 'alerted' when you wander into a wall.
-
- This new version has many improvements over earlier ones: more objects
- (Sammi has a new friend!), better palettes, a hidden version number
- (good luck!) and a tighter screen in general.
-
- An undocumented feature (aren't they FUN?!): Putting the crosshairs
- on a door and firing (by pressing the left mouse button) instantly
- transports you inside it. A fast way to get around. I wish I could do
- THAT at home! Some things teleport you when clicked.
-
- Using the keyboard:
- ------------------
-
- Q - rotate left H - move left
- W - rotate right J - move right
-
- P - look upward R - rise
- L - look downward F - descend
-
- O - move forward U - U turn
- K - move backward I - center view vertically
-
-
- Also, pressing 'V' then 'B' allows you to rise VERY high using 'R' and
- 'F'. Bird's-eye view!

- When using the mouse, pressing the right button usually does the same
- thing as the the left - only much faster.
-
- I wrote 3DHOUSE3 with DoMark's "Virtual Reality Studio" using Incentive's
- FREESCAPE language. It's great - definitely worth getting if you're into
- this sort of thing. ACCOLADE is the American distributor. You might be
- able to order it directly from them but it would probably cost a bit more
- (800/245-7744). Check game distributors in any issue of "Computer Gaming
- World" magazine for a discounted price.
