QUEST FOR ETERNITY
==================

by David Coekram

The Overlords of the Universe have a vacancy for one Master of Eternity. 
As a candidate you must pass a small test of ability. Of course, failure 
means death!!!

To begin with you find yourself on a starship. On the surface, your 
objective is fairly straightforward, to operate a disused teleportal 
booth, and thereby return to the Chamber of Creation. However, the 
Overlords must be absolutely sure of your logic, endurance, courage 
and determination. So the teleportal booth is 2000 light years away, 
on one of the most hostile planets in the Universe. Oh, and by the 
way, the starship doesn't work either.


The computer has opened up a whole new world off games. Go beyond the 
games of fast reflexes and zapping aliens and you reach into that world. 
The computer takes on a life of its own. Adventure and strategy games 
start where arcade games finish. Here is the world of imagination and 
thought. MIND GAMES are a range of programs designed to stimulate that 
imagination and take you into new and strange worlds.

Sophisticated graphics, and great presentation are all part of the 
package.


Loading:

The program on the cassette can be loaded into the computer using the 
following instructions:

Atari 4/6/800: CLOAD. When the program is loaded type RUN. If the program 
               loads subsequent programs remember to type RUN to run each 
               program.

BBC, Electron: CHAIN"". If your tape recorder does not have motor control 
               remember to stop the tape if told to do so.

Spectrum:      LOAD"". If the program loads subsequent programs remember 
               to stop the tape if told to do so.

Check the label on the cover to make sure that this tape is the correct 
one for your computer.


Playing the Game:

As adventures go this is a mind-twister. Over seventy locations and 
objects to collect. Your mission begins with the problem of getting the 
starship to work. Then you must visit a number of planets to find the 
objects you need, then go and find the teleportal booth. Once you've got 
that going you can make it to the Chamber of Creation.

The game responds to inputs such as:

GO NORTH
PICK UP THE ROPE or TAKE ROPE 
PRESS THE BUTTON or PRESS BUTTON

It also accepts the following single letter abbreviations: N, S, E, W, U, 
D: for North, South, East, West, Up and Down 

I: Inventory

Remember to finish each input by pressing RETURN or ENTER. The program 
recognises 99 verbs and 162 nouns - if you try to do something that it 
doesn't know about it will soon tell you. The game has a SAVE facility in 
case you find it too much for one sitting. Just type QUIT and follow the 
screen prompts.

The best of luck.
