                                     QUEST 2

BY SIMON FOSTER

CRYSTAL QUEST 2 (v. 1.00)
===============

The Story Continues ...

It was five years before again you set off for the forbidden caves of Omahese. Your goal again
was to seek your fortune. But things were going to be more difficult this time ...
The perils that await you - the remains of the long forgotten Omaheseien civilization, the
great horrific monsters of the under-world and the remains of long ago mining equipment left
behind by the great race.

REQUIREMENTS
============

Crystal Quest 2 requires  
A 386 SX or higher processor (lesser will work but with less smooth animation).
MS-DOS 5.0 or higher.
A 256k VGA Graphics card and monitor.

THE GAME
========

Crystal Quest 2 is based on the 80's hit "Boulder Dash" and so if your familar with it
you'll love Crystal Quest 2. The aim of each level is to collect all the Crystals and head
for the exit (just like CQ1) but to get from A to B you must solve various puzzles.

THE DANGERS
===========

BOULDERS - They fall if unsupported or stood on curved objects. They can be pushed and
will crush you if they strike.

BOMBS - Like Boulders they will fall if unsupported but when they collide with an object
they explode, destroying everything (except steel blocks) in its path.

CHASER - This monster is hungry, HUNGRY FOR YOU! And it chases you all over the place. If a
Boulder is dropped on it however, it will explode into a crystal. The same effect will not happen
with a bomb.

DIGBUG - Rumour has it that the ancient miners of these caves left lots of strange mining 
machinery behind...
The Digbug moves randomly and can dig through earth. It can only be destroy by a bomb.

MONODON - The Monodon is a mutated dinosaur. After thousands of years with
no meat the Monodon has adapted to a diet of crystals. However being a meat eater it is dying to 
eat YOU. Reports are unsure on this creature since not many have returned from these caves
but from what we can find they move similar to the Digbug except they can not eat earth and 
when crushed by a rock they turn into crystals. Again the same effect will not happen with a 
bomb.

SUPER DIGBUG - This horror is luckily very rare in the underworld. Like the
Standard Digbug it can dig through earth, but unlike the standard digbug it chases you and can
only be destroyed by a bomb.

PRACKMAN(Not in version 0.91) - Unsure.

AND WATCH OUT - YOU ARE LIMITED TO TIME FOR EACH LEVEL!

THE CONTROLS
============

Arrow keys to move the player.
Q - Quits to DOS.
W - Pauses the game, pressing another key unpauses the game.

NOTES
=====

As such there is not a "proper" password system for my game. But there is a password system.
If you want the passwords, email me - s.d.f@btinternet.com.

Sorry about the keyboard pause-before-auto repeat error. I am trying to correct this problem
ASAP.

Watch out for version 1.01 COMING SOON.

Watch out for my SPRITE DESIGNER coming soon.

AND FINALLY
===========

My aim in writing this game was to see how well a boulder dash clone I could write. The main
goal of this game is to write another game which will be an "improved" clone of the classic
game REPTON my game shall be called REPTON 2000. If you have any ideas or comments on this game
or any other game email me at

s.d.f@btinternet.com

or visit me at

Oh, one final thing does any one want to develop CQ 1? If they do email me.

See ya guys and gals ;)
