ALL ABOUT AMOK
by: Robert Treese
Amok requires graphics with color.
Amok is a futuristic game of survival. The evil king of the planet
Zorgon stole a prototype of your planet's new battle tank. Little did
he know that you were on guard duty and had fallen asleep inside. In
order to redeem your honor and save your planet, you must battle your
way through the confusing maze of rooms and corridors, fighting off the
evil battle drones, and avoiding the ultimate guard dog HOMER.
In this battle, it is easy to tell the good guys from the bad.
Your TANK, SECURITY FLOPPY DISKS, and the TREASURE CHEST all are light
blue while all the enemies are purple.
You maneuver your tank by using the arrow keys. To fire your laser
cannon, press the shift key plus the arrow key in the direction you
wish to fire. (If the arrow keys on your computer do not work you can
use the keys i,j,k,m. If the arrow keys fire while the shifted arrows
move, press your num-lock key.)
At the start of each game your man will be located in the middle of the
left side of the screen. Each new life will also start here. In
order to exit the room, you must retrieve the SECURITY FLOPPY DISK
which opens a door into the next section. If you have killed all the
enemy drones, you may steal the TREASURE CHEST that will appear. To
exit, go out the door that opens when you retrieve the SECURITY DISK.
Do not waste too much time. HOMER is always looking for you and if you
spend too much time in one room he will come after you. He is inde-
structible and can even go through walls. When a door opens it sig-
nals to HOMER which room you are in and he will soon come out so be
careful in trying to steal the treasure.
Your TANK can only have three laser blasts in the air at one time so
use them wisely. Also, each of your tanks has a FREEZE BOMB. This
bomb will freeze everything, including HOMER, for a short time. To
use your FREEZE BOMB press the z key. To indicate if you have a FREEZE
BOMB the word Freeze appears at the bottom left corner of the screen.
When you use your FREEZE BOMB the word will disappear until you start
your next tank.
The enemy can only have a limited number of laser blasts on the screen.
The number begins at zero and increases gradually to a maximum of
five. Use this to your advantage.
While playing the game, F1 will pause the action and F2 will toggle the
sound. F8 or ESC will exit the game at any time.
Be brave and fight hard because more than your honor is at stake. Your
home planet's existence depends on you.
