They are realitivly easy, even on hard mode, so don't expect to much of a challenge. But just you wait, once I figure out how to do ASM I'll make some great Marc the Superkid (and maybe a others) games! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2) Getting Started: (1) Hook up your TI-Graphlink cable to your computer (2) Start the special software for your calc. (3) Send Superkid.83g or Superkid.8xp (depending on your calc) to the calculator. (4) If you don't have a Graphlink, you'll have to manually type it in until you get one. Painfully tedious :( (6) At the title screen of Superkid 1/2, choose to start the game or load a game (if you've previously played before) (7) Choose the mode of difficulty (8) Enjoy! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3) The Story So Far: Marc the Superkid 1: The Bonds have decided they've had enough of your meddling. They want to get rid of you once and for all. They have rebuilt their greatest robots and are sending them to you, one at a time. You must face each one of them until you finally reach their final robot, Bruno. Can you defeat them and save the world??? Marc the Superkid 2: The evil Marc the Superkid has returned to your dimension once again. He wants one last battle with you. If you win, he'll leave you alone for the rest of eternity (yeah, right!). The only problem is, he will not face you until you take on and defeat 11 of the most dangerous robots you've ever had to face. Unfortunately, the powers you used to beat them before aren't strong enough to destroy them. The good news is once you destroy a robot, you get it's strongest power. Can you defeat the evil Marc and get rid of him forever??? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4) Controlling Marc: Main controls: Move right or left: Press the right or left arrow keys. High Energy Beam: Press MODE. Low Energy Beam: Press 2ND. Special Attack: Press A (Math). Quit during play: Press Y=. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 5) Gameplay: The object of each level is to destroy the robot so you can continue. If ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 6) Marc the Superkid's Arsenal: Marc the Superkid the Game 1: Unfortunately, in this game there were no special attacks to gain from your opponent. Sorry. Marc the Superkid the Game 2: However, Marc the Superkid the Game 2 is another story (literally ;) ). As you destroy the robots created by the evil Marc the Superkid, you gain a special attack from them in which you can use. Just press the key equal to the letter given to you on the screen showing the power-up you received. Naturally, if you try one of the keys before you gain the power-up, it won't work for obvious reasons. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 7) Known Bugs Being a program in BASIC and my limited skills, there are quite a few bugs in the games. For example, if you use you're special attack when you are to the right of the robot, the game will give an error. Correcting this would make the program much larger and, therefore, much slower. You MUST not press the buttons quickly, like you can do on Mortal Kombat or other fighting style games because the calc will run out of memory. Lastly, if it appears that you have one : left and so does your opponent and your opponent attacks first (as he's close by), you'll probably die instead of the robot. This is because Marc's health bar is checked before the robots health bar so it'll be like that was a final strike from you before you die. Sorry to get your hopes up on this one. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 8) Contacting the Programmer: If you find any bugs in Marc the Superkid the Game or have any questions about it or just want to tell me what you think of the game, don't hasitate to contact me.
