***THE ORB OF ZOT*** BY RAYMOND MULLIKIN http://www.raytoons.cjb.net After you download the files on your calculator. Select top program called Agad to run. Make sure you do not erase the pictures off your calculator. The game won't work without them. OBJECTIVE --------- Your mission is to steal the ORB of Zot. The orb is located on level four among many fake orbs, making the right orb difficult to find. This means you will have to gaze at all the orbs until you find the right one. And don't forget the monsters! There are tons of them for you to fight while you are on your journey for the orb. PLAYABLE CHARACTERS ------------------- At the beginning of the game you can choose between seven diffrent characters. Here they are: 1) Hobbit -- This guy is fast! Sometimes the hobbit may be able to make for than one move per turn! They are also the quickest to lift a shield to block a hit than other characters. They also make the best thieves and sing real good (you'll see what I mean in the game). Some problems with this guy is that he is that he takes few hits to kill, he doesn't start off with any spells (he can learn a few in the game), and he doesn't have as powerfull of a punch as other characters. 2) Man -- The average guy. He is a good runner, but not the best. He is smart, but not as smart as an elf or half-elf (but he is a quick learner). He is stronger than most of the characters, but not as strong as a dwarf. One special move this character has (which can be either good or humiliating to the character) is that when he gets angry, he can cause crazy things to happen! 3) Half-Elf -- he is in between a man and an elf! He can cast a few spells and is not as strong as a man. 4) Dark-Elf -- He is the master of dark spells (like the death spell and the poison spell). He is fast, but not as fast as a hobbit. He is also very very weak. Heavy armor is recommended for this guy. 5) Light-Elf -- He is the master of light spells (like the healing spell or the confusion spell). Besides this, he is pretty much like the dark elf. He doesn't use the death spell or the poison spell, since their are against everything this elf believes in. 6) Dwarf -- This guy is tough and strong (his bone-crush attack is great), but very slow! He is to dumb to ever really learn any spells. 7) Kobolt Lord -- This doglike character is a lot like a man, except for a couple things. He can trample his enemies (cutting their HP in half!) and all kolbolts in the game give him stuff (they hate everyone else). 8) KNOMES -- You can buy/sell items and weapons from these merchants at any time you meet one. If you are extremely greedy, you could also try to beat them up and take their supplys. But be carefull! There extremely tough in combat! TALENTS AND SPELLS ------------------ 1) Steal -- This gives your character the ability to steal whatever your opponent has. A hobbit is the most skilled at this... and the dwarf is probably the worst. 2) Bone Crush -- The dwarf's ability to give his opponent a bone-crushing hug. He gets this ability later on in the game. 3) Charm -- The ability to charm your opponent. If you are successfull, he may give you presents and/or money. 4) Anger -- The character will make more aggressive (and random) attacks when he is angry. A man is the easiest character to get angry. 5) Light Spell -- heals your character. 6) Death Spell -- Kills your opponent. If you aren't intelligent enough to use the spell you may kill yourself, so be carefull! 7) There are many other spells to find/learn as well. The Confuse Spell and the Transform spells are two of my favorites. ITEMS ----- 1) Magic Lamp -- Will carry you anywhere on the level. 2) Darts -- These do considerable amounts of damage to an enemy. Weak characters, like hobbits, love using these weapons. 3) There are many more items in the game... if you can find them! Special Tricks -------------- * If you are almost dead and its like it is going to be impossible to defeat the monster that you are fighting, them throw your weapon at him. This feature is located under the *items* menu. Throwing your weapon does greater damage to your opponent, but you lose your weapon when making the attack. * You can recruit knomes to help you in battle. Doing this may be extremely expensive, but they are very helpful to you in battle. * If you won't your hobbit to move extra quickly in battle, do not buy any armor for him to wear. He will be a lot harder to hit, but it will take less hits to kill him. * Light elves automatically heal themselves when not in combat. * The Ice Beast's greatest weakness if FIRE. * The death spell is very dangerous to use since it there is a small chance that it may kill the character. Make sure your character has extremely high intelligence before you use it... and do use it sparingly. * A bearskin will keep you warm in the cold. * The are many more special tricks. See if you can find them all. * It never hurts to run away if you are in a jam (like when you fight a dragon)! Hobbits and elves are the best characters for this. Dont even bother using this feature with a Dwarf! * Dwarfs are way to slow to use shields. The enemy usually hits him before he can block the hit.
