********* Welcome to Project 64! http://project64.c64.org The goal of Project 64 is to preserve Commodore 64 related documents in electronic text format that might otherwise cease to exist with the rapid advancement of computer technology and declining interest in 8- bit computers on the part of the general population. If you would like to help by converting C64 related hardcopy documents to electronic texts please contact the manager of Project 64. Extensive efforts were made to preserve the contents of the original document. However, certain portions, such as diagrams, program listings, and indexes may have been either altered or sacrificed due to the limitations of plain vanilla text. Diagrams may have been eliminated where ASCII-art was not feasible. Program listings may be missing display codes where substitutions were not possible. Tables of contents and indexes may have been changed from page number references to section number references. Please accept our apologies for these limitations, alterations, and possible omissions. Document names are limited to the 8.3 file convention of DOS. The first characters of the file name are an abbreviation of the original document name. The version number of the etext follows next. After that a letter may appear to indicate the particular source of the document. Finally, the document is given a .TXT extension. The author(s) of the original document and members of Project 64 make no representations about the accuracy or suitability of this material for any purpose. This etext is provided "as-is". Please refer to the warrantee of the original document, if any, that may included in this etext. No other warrantees, express or implied, are made to you as to the etext or any medium it may be on. Neither the author(s) nor the members of Project 64 will assume liability for damages either from the direct or indirect use of this etext or from the distribution of or modification to this etext. Therefore if you read this document or use the information herein you do so at your own risk. ********* The Project 64 etext of Molecule Man Converted to etext by Neil Tomlinson. ********* MOLECULE MAN ------------ MOLECULE MAN - THE INFERNAL SURVIVAL GAME! ------------------------------------------ Lost in the middle of an enormous maze, time and radiation are yoiur enemies. Escape via the teleport would be easy, apart from the fact that you need to collect the 16 parts of the circuit first. In this cruel world extra time can be bought with money. However, when you find a coin you have to decide whether to buy life pills or the bombs you need to reach certain parts of the maze. CONTROLS -------- Definable at the start of play. THE MAZE DESIGNER ----------------- A seperate program that follows after the game. To load it, stop the tape after loading the game, reset the computer and follow the normal loading instructions. You will see a cyan window in the top right hand corner, a yellow window running down the left hand side, a window labelled current, two indicators X and Y and a list of commands. The cyan window displays the locations, you can move the window to display any location, or display all the maze by pressing V. To edit the maze, you must first select the object you wish to use, press O, Space or Fire and move the cursor in the yellow window over the object you require. As not all the objects can be shown at once, move the cursor off the top or bottom of the window to scroll through the other objects. Press O to select. Press E and a cursor then appears in the cyan window, move around the maze, moving off the side of the window to move onto the next location, press fire to place the object. You can change all the objects to the current object by pressing L and restore them by pressing C. LOADING INSTRUCTIONS -------------------- Hold down SHIFT and press RUN/STOP. M.A.D.
