Dungeon V1.0 Written By Giark Copyright 1994 Fly By Nite Videe-Oh! Disclaimer This FBN product is provided as is. FBN is not responsible for any loss of data or damage from improper use of the program. It may be distributed freely, but the archive must remain intact. Congratulations! You've grabbed yourself yet another fine FBN product. We strive to keep our releases innovative and bug free. If you find any bugs, you should let us know. I'm trying something different here - REAL shareware. For those of you who haven't been following the FBN saga (Why not? Shame on you!), our releases have been either freeware or no limit shareware (you know, none of that annoying `item disabled in shareware version' crap). Well, no one has bothered to respond in any way at all - even to say `this game sucks, man!'. So, in an effort to get you to respond and give feedback to us at FBN, this game is real shareware. That's right, I've disabled the modem and null features and the size of the dungeon so you silent masses will have to contact FBN. It's your fault. Dungeon is a two player (only full version) game where you wander around in the dungeon and beat up anything that gets in your way. In the two player modes, the other player does NOT need the program; in fact, the game would not WORK if you were both using it at once. The other player only needs an ANSI terminal program set to: Full Duplex Word Length 8 Stop Bits 1 No parity (also written as 8-N-1) and the same baud rate (bps actually) as you. The main screen presents a green title bar on a black background. The default settings are: Solo game (only kind available without registering), 300 BPS (doesn't matter in a solo game. Go ahead and set it to 28800), Small dungeon (again, the only one available in non-registered version. Send me mail, dammit!). The selections are shown in the status bar by the appropriate indicator: Co: for communication type, Sp: for BPS (or baud rate for you inaccurate dorks) and Sz: for size of dungeon. Once you've selected your options (register and you will actually have lotsa options!), press return to start the game. Solo mode Just run around the dungeon, pick up weapons and stuff, beat up monsters, then quit when you're bored. (register or be doomed to this forever) Link mode The program expects a Hayes(r) compatible modem to be hooked up and switched on. It will set your modem to auto answer and then wait for a connection. Once it gets it, it will send a blurb to both you and your opponent, get your names, and then away you go. (KILL!) Null mode This mode will only work if you have two computers (or two ports on a multi-port card) linked by null cable. It goes right to the opening message and into the game. The Commands N - move north NE - move northeast E - move east SE - move southeast S - move south SW - move southwest W - move west NW - move northwest Get Weapon (GW) - get rid of the weapon you have and take the new one Get Armour (GA) - get rid of your armour for the shiny new stuff or swig back a potion Fight (F) - fight monsters in your area Run (R) - run away when you get the snot beat out of you Chat (C) - attempt to contact the other player Yell (Y) - yell something to the other player Attack (A) - attack the other player Help (?) - get this list of commands Quit (Q) - surrender Heal (H) - drink a healing potion (you have two) OK, so the commands aren't complex. You try beating on a dragon with your fists for a while, see if you want complicated controls! Well, there it is. Great way to take out your frustrations! Good for tourneys, too. Shareware Whining Section Ok, I am not asking for a lot. Just send me email (Giark) or an actual letter. Yup, that's all. If you send a letter, though, send enough for postage and send a blank disk, unless you want to leave your phone number and I will direct send you the program (no long distance!
