Turn on your disk drive. 2. Insert the BASIC cartridge (on 400}/800 models only) 3. Turn on your computer.The game will access the disk constantly as you play. If you would like more} detailed instructions read APPENDIX I.HOW TO PLAY.A graphic adventure is a computerized picture book in which you are th}e central character. Using instructions of one or two words, you move from place to place, examining the objects you find the}re. You may find and take useful items you will need later, or be given objects or advice by the people you meet.Each locat}ion within the game contains both a picture and text. You may discover clues in either or both. Each new encounter poses a pu}zzle for you to solve and each solution brings you closer to completion of the game. There are many ways to complete the game}, but only one correct solution.Use the keyboard to type your instructions. Then press the RETURN key. Use standard English} words, and be sure they're correctly spelled. Each command consists of a verb and a noun. Type the verb first, then the noun}. Commands look like this: GET LAMP, DROP POTATO, LOOK SEA, TALK MAN. If you make a typo entering the command, you may use al}l of the normal ATARI editing features to correct it, before you press RETURN.To save time you may use a shortcut. Since th}e computer only looks at the first three letters of each word, you can shorten the words in your command to three letters eac}h. For example, LOOK DRAGON can be typed as LOO DRA, and the command TAKE COIN may be shortened to TAK COI.There are ten on }e-word commands: NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST, UP, DOWN, LOOK, INVENTORY, HELP and QUIT. Each of these can also be entered by usi!}ng only it's first letter (N, S, E, W, U, D, L, I, H and Q), but only when used alone. For example, if you want to travel nor"}th, you can type N, or NOR or NORTH, or GO NORTH, or LOOK NORTH, or GO NOR, or LOO NOR, but GO N, or L N, or L NORTH do not w#}ork. Always type RETURN after any command, regardless of it's length.Use the INVENTORY (I) command to see a list of the obj$}ects in your possession. Use the HELP command to get an abbreviated version of these instructions. Use the QUIT command to re%}start game from beginning.To have a closer look at something, you can type LOOK (or LOO) and the object's name, but it's fa&}ster just to type the object's name. For example, to examine a wall, you could type WALL (WAL) or LOOK WALL (LOO WAL).The g'}ame has a large vocabulary, but it may not recognize every word you type. When this happens, try thinking of another way to s(}ay your command. Instead of GO SWIMMING try SWIM STREAM. When the computer receives a command it can't read, or understand, o)}r perform, it will tell you so. Check your spelling and try again.Occasionally you may be surprised by a response you didn'*}t expect, including the news that your last command has caused your doom. In the world of DRAGON QUEST, you may be offered a +}new life and the chance to try again. When you are given another chance, the message WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRY THAT AGAIN? appear,}s. If you type Y (for Yes) and press the RETURN key, you can go on as if you never died, with all the objects you've collecte-}d still in your possession.Every so often, an action you take costs you your life, with no second chances. When this happen.}s the message DO YOU WANT TO PLAY AGAIN? appears. If you type Y and press the RETURN key, the game restarts from the absolute/} beginning, and everything you've accomplished or collected is gone. AAARGHH!!! There is a way round this disaster. If you sa0}ve the game as you play, you won't have to start from the beginning. See "SAVING A GAME".It is possible to make a mistake t}SAVING A GAME.At any moment during your search for the elusive dragon, you may meet your doom, even in places you have bee2}n before. If you do you may be given a chance to rise from the dead and continue your quest. But every so often you really do3} die. when that happens, you must start from the very beginning, without any of the objects you have worked so hard to gather4}.You can avoid this awful setback by using the SAVE GAME option to save (store on diskette) the game you are playing. Then,5} when you meet an abrupt and nasty end, you can transfer your saved game from the diskette and begin play at the point you ty6}ped SAVE GAME.Using the SAVE GAME option is also an easy way to store a game you don't have time to complete. Once your gam7}e has been stored, you can come back to it at any time.To save a game to diskette, just type SAVE GAME and follow the promp8}ts. To restore a game, just type RESTORE GAME and follow the prompts. You may enter SAVE or RESTORE GAME at any time you see 9}the ENTER COMMAND? prompt. If you would like more detailed instructions see APPENDIX II and APPENDIX III.The games may be s:}aved on any diskette formatted by DOS 2.0S (NOT DOS 3! - See FORMATTING A DISK). The games are saved under the name ADVEN$.GB;}U, where $ is the number (0-9) of the saved game. Up to 10 copies of the game may be saved on one diskette, so all the member<}s of your family may have there own personal back-up game. Each saved game requires only one sector of disk storage space, an=}d you can store the games on a diskette that contains other data.SAVE/RESTORE OPTIONS.There are several commands which ch>}ange the way the save/restore feature works. To use these special options just enter the command before you type SAVE or REST?}ORE GAME. PLEASE NOTE. When entered these commands will respond with OK. They will not take effect until the next time SAVE o@}r RESTORE GAME is typed.DIRECTORY.If you would like a directory of the saved games on a particular diskette, type DIR ON.A} On each subsequent use of the save/restore feature, you will be given a directory of the saved games on the diskette, and thB}e free space available. DIR OFF will turn off this option.USING TWO DISK DRIVES.If you have a second disk drive, you can C}avoid changing diskettes during the save/restore sequence, by typing CHANGE DRIVE. The game will then use drive two for the sD}ave game diskette. Typing CHANGE DRIVE again, will return the action to drive one.FORMATTING A DISK.If you do not have a E}formatted diskette available, you may type INIT DISK. The next time you type SAVE GAME, you will be given the opportunity to F}format a diskette. If you answer Y (yes) to the prompt, the save game diskette will be formatted, and any data it contained wG}ill be deleted. If you are allowing a young child to play the game unsupervised, then NO INIT will disable this option, and pH}rotect your disks.KEEPING A LOG.You may keep a log of your journey, if you have a printer and lots of paper. Turn on yourI} printer then type PRINTER ON. Each command you enter, and the games response, will be echoed to the printer. To stop printinJ}g enter PRINTER OFF, or just turn off the printer.CUSTOM CHARACTER SET.The game makes use of a special character set to eK}nhance it's appearance. Type the command TEXT OFF to change the text to plain and unadorned ATARI characters. Type TEXT ON toL} bring back the snazzy, special characters.TECHNICAL NOTES.This game is written in BASIC but makes extensive use of machiM}ne code subroutines to provide a very fast response. The displays are in GRAPHICS 7 (high res/4 color) and were prepared usinN}g PAINT (RESTON/ATARI) and DRAWIT (APX/ANTIC). The displays are saved to disk using a special condensed format. This providesO} an fast load and allows the entire game to fit on one side of a diskette.Almost all of the text is stored on the disk and P}is accessed as required, providing room in the program for more complex problems and a greater vocabulary than usually found Q}in a BASIC adventure. If you have avoided BASIC adventures in the past because they were slow, or too easy, then DRAGON QUESTR} is the one for you.HELPFUL HINTS.Always pay close attention to what you are carrying.Look closely at everything you caS}n.Try talking to living things, and listening to any sounds you are told about.Keep a map of where you have been; it willT} make it easier to retrace your steps. Don't assume all the paths are straight.For every hazard in the game there's at leasU}t one clue to it's solution, but you may miss it.If you get stuck don't dispair. Talk it over with friends or family. They V}may think of some new idea to try. Get others to play - they may make discoveries you've missed.If you get seriously stuck,W} try going over familiar territory again. Things may have changed in your absence.Remember that most problems require nothiX}ng more than simple common sense to solve. If all else fails, you can always go to the Inn for a drink.CONTACTING THE AUTHOY}R.Still stuck? Before you let the cats play frizbee with the disk, you may contact the author. If you will need a written Z}response, please include a stamped self-addressed envelope.
