- FINAL FRONTIER
-
- by A.D. Flower & M.M. Collis
-
- The year is 2094 and the Earth's energy supplies have become virtually
- non-existent. The only supplies that can be found must be bought from black
- market traders at extortionately inflated prices. This is where you come in.
- You have been sent to a planet with a colony of 50 people to set up a land
- base. From there you will send ships and people to the moons surrounding
- this planet to construct mines and excavate the only metal ore in the galaxy
- that is now able to produce the power required by the population of Earth.
- You will be able to carry out one of six choices during each day that
- passes. These choices are explained below.
-
- 1 Oxygen - This allows you buy oxygen from earth to supply your land base.
- The oxygen must be kept at a reasonable level to stop people dying from lack
- of it.
-
- 2 Build - You start the game with one un-loaded ship available for sending
- to the moons. The build option allows you to build more ships for this
- purpose.
-
- 3 Load - This option will allow you to load any number of ships (provided
- that you have that many) with the items needed to go to one of the moons and
- set up a mine.
-
- 4 Send - This option will allow you to send a number of your loaded ships to
- a moon to set up the mines. You must estimate the ammount of fuel required
- for the journey (HINT: not more than 20 per ship !!). If you do not allow
- enough fuel ships may become stranded during their journey and they will be
- lost thus making it necessary for you to build more ships.
-
- 5 Recover - Allows the un-loaded ships that you have, to be sent to the moon
- on which the mines are, to collect and return with ore. The fuel has to be
- estimated with results as above.
-
- 6 Sell - You must at some point sell the ore that you have recovered to
- Earth. When you have sold enough you will be asked to take over another
- planet.
-
- Should you be in a situation where you wish to quit the game (you will be, I
- assure you !!) pressing all three mouse buttons together will achieve this.
-
-
- Note: You start the game with 2000 units of money.
-
- P.S. Good Luck. You WILL need it !!!
