I. Introduction-- Start Here
Playing Explorer, A Quickie Intro
System Requirements: Apple IIgs, 1.25MB RAM minimum, running some
version of GS/OS. You will need GS-ShrinkIt (sometimes called
"GSHK", "ShrinkIt-GS", etc.) to unpack .shk files.
Download ExplorerGS.shk and unShrink using GS-ShrinkIt. Move the
files to a directory (like Explorer/). Use Teach or some other
text viewer to read the EXPLORER.DOCS for directions on movement, etc..
ExplorerGS includes three adventures. Start Explorer from the
Finder. From the FILES menu, pick a Scenario and pick a character.
(Several characters are available in the Characters folder.) From
the GAME menu, click Play Game.
Once you see that everything is working okay, you can exit the game
and use GameMaker to create your own new character. If you want to keep
the one you were using, you can give him/her a new name by renaming the
char's file.
Q: Can I save a character during play?
A: Yes. Click "Save Character". You should save your character from time
to time during an adventure since this is the only way to make any
Experience, Level, etc. gains permanent.
Q: Can I save my position in an adventure?
A: At present, there is no way to save your position or 'save a game'
in ExplorerGS. The adventures are supposed to be played through in a
single session.
Many users have created adventures for the ExplorerGS system.
Usually, the result is a single file plus, perhaps, a Text file with
a story line, hints, etc..
Quite a few game makers have created their own pic and data files.
These are custom versions of the Explorer.Pic and Explorer.Data files.
Adventures with custom pic and data files are in separate folders to
avoid conflicts with the standard pic and data files. Directions for
playing these adventures are in the Expl.Extra.Doc file included in
ExplorerGS.shk. (Actually, it's pretty simple. You just move ExplorerGS
into the game folder and move it back out after you've played.)
More Things to Do
Soon, you will want to generate a new character of your own (see
docs in GameMaker) and, possibly, try more characters developed by
other players. You can create as many characters as you like.
Characters can be brought into a game from any folder; so, you can
keep all characters in a Characters folder.
Some of the most fun comes in making and sharing your own
adventures. To create your own scenarios, you use GameMaker.
In order to get your scenario or favorite character into this
and other archives, you can put everything into a single .shk file
and upload in _binary_ mode to Ground's main upload folder along with
a short Text description file. (For example, if your adventure stuff
is in "NarfGame.shk", the Text file describing it would be
named "NarfGame.txt".)
An alternative which may work faster is to attach the .shk file to
an email describing the adventure. Send to me at rubywand@swbell.net .

ExplorerGS
by Jason Smart
Explorer is the latest program by Travelling Faire Software, the
creators of Golem, The Golden Bug, and Castle Metacus. Explorer is the
desktop-based, graphic version of the Maze Launcher design-your-own
Mazegame adventure program uploaded about 2 years ago. It will run any
scenario created with the GameMakerGS program.
Since Explorer is a design-your-own-adventure program, scenarios can
take on a huge variety of forms. Obstacles faced in the various
scenarios may include mountains, rivers, forests, traps, hidden spikes,
forcefields, talking walls, lava pools, hidden passages, and a variety
of monsters and evil creatues.
Other features include auto-mapping, magic spells, treasure chests,
and boats for sailing around the seas. As your character battles with
monsters and wins scenarios he/she will gain experience, new spells, and
increased strength, wisdom, etc.
__This download includes everything needed to play__
I have provided three scenarios:
Lyle.Valley - This is a small, easy scenario meant for beginners. Play
this one first.
Islands - Find the rocky island and defeat the wyverns in their lair.
Nor.Forest - This is a much larger scenario. The object is to defeat the
demon and find the hidden sceptre. There are many hidden rooms and
passages, so keep your eyes open.
Explorer is SHAREWARE ($10), unless you have purchased any other
Travelling Faire program.
Jason Smart
------------------
GameMaker
by Jason Smart
GameMaker creates scenarios and characters for ExplorerGS. It
utilizes a desktop-based, point-and-click interface, and has an
extensive online help dialog. It provides many helpful features such as
auto-aligning of doorways and stairways between rooms, and layout
editing, for altering the overall layout of the scenario. GameMaker can
also load already existing Explorer games for revision.
Characters can be created from 28 different races, each with its own
strengths and weaknesses.
GameMaker is shareware ($10), unless you have purchased any other
Travelling Faire program.

to start a new character from scratch, you may want to download this
one, so that you can enjoy some of the many wonderful ExplorerGS games
that are being created.
As with any adventure character, you will grow in experience as you
continue to play. By seeking out certain characters in an adventure you
can increase both your level (hit points) and your spell points (for
casting spells).
If you like the character, or if you have played either the "kasnar" or
"the.great.hall" ExplorerGS game let me know.
__________
Char: SUPER

Title: Astra Trilogy
Date: 10/29/93 - 11/07/93
Upload: Shadow5037
File: AstraTrlgy.shk (72505 bytes)
AUTHOR: Samantha DaSilva
Astra (in Astra1Astra.exp folder)
My ninth Explorer game. The eighth, Mountain River, got deleted when my
brother "accidently" deleted my entire hard drive. Back to Astra, this
is the first game in the Astra Triology that I'm working on now. I have
included a background story in ascii text format.
It's relatively easy and short, except at the end, where there are
several rooms with five phantoms in small areas. (Maybe one or two...)
So to be safe from the phantoms, your character should have a pretty
high amount of HP, and about 450 MP for required spells. Your character
must be able to cast "Animate Bones", or whatever that spell is called.
-------------------
Humis (in Astra2Humis.exp folder)
My tenth explorer game. This is the second game in the Astra Triology.
There is a short beginning story (added on to the end of the Astra
story) included in ascii text format. If you haven't beaten Astra yet,
or if you beat it a while ago, it's probably a good idea to play that
first. (to keep the story straight, I think I put some stuff in Astra
that corresponds with Humis)
-------------------
King Hummel (in Astra3KingH.exp folder)
This is my 11th Explorer game. This is the final game in the Astra
Triology. I included a short intro story (added on to the Humis one) and
also a short ending story for the entire Astra Triology. (the stories
are all in ascii text format) Since my character is around level 384,
it's hard for me to tell how much hp you need to beat a game, but I
think 3000 + is about right. Also, your character must be able to fly or
cast the spell "water walk". This game is beatable without playing the
other ones first, but if you want to follow the complete story, then you
should play them in order.
I included a questionaire in ascii text format. It's basically so I can
know the levels and stuff of your character, so that I can adapt my next
game accordingly. I would appreciate if you fill it out.

This is a game I made with the Explorer Game Designer. It took me about
4-5 hours of work, and is really pretty damn good.
Originally I made it really tame with little EXP available but then
pushed lots of monsters into it and now it should be fun for
hack-slashers and role-players... This is really quite large, used up
about 90 of the 92 usable rooms, three well-developed levels, all five
keys used... Once you finish the ones that come with Explorer, download
this one!
BTW: Have fun and send me comments!

This is a rather LARGE game for ExplorerGS. It's a complete world! I
took the name of the program quite literally here... you'll have do
EXPLORE! :)
Originally this was Death Quest created by RyanW4. There were some
mistakes, and some impossible areas (hidden passages conflict with
emptiness, or there was such nothin')Reviewed the game with GameMaker,
and found some errors.I have corrected them and modified a few to make
the game a little tougher. Good luck.

Thia is my 12th Explorer game. I think the minimum requirements for your
character's HP and SP would be around 2000 HP and 70 SP, if you make
frequent stops at the healing places. A comfortable level of SP would
probably be around 500 SP.
Game intro:
In an attempt to impress your friends, you have set out to find the
legendary sword that once belonged to the hero, Kormu. You begin your
search in the town of Kastra, where you have heard the sword is located.
Apparently, many others have heard that too, as you arrive just in time
to get the last room at the large local inn...

This is a very tough game since all the guards are black phantoms and

The Great Hall (Revised) fixes many problems found in the original
adventure. You should download this revised explorer game and not the
original.
I would rate The Great Hall as a very challenging explorer adventure.
There are many traps, and hidden rooms to find. It will take a medium
to strong character to survive in this scenerio.
You must have the Explorer.GS program (including the files Explorer.Data
and Explorer.Pic) in order to play this adventure.
Remember to search everywhere and to cast a heal spell often.
If you play either The Great Hall or Kasnar please let me know what you
think of them.

This scenario is targeted toward the characters above level 20. If your
character is below, the game will pose as quite a challenge. I have
created all new graphics for this game, aside from the treasure chest.
(Many thanks to whoever created it.)
It is a very original game. (At one point, you have to explore the sky
on the back of a giant bird.) I have used all 5 keys, and all 92 rooms.
Because I have altered nearly every one of the original pics, your
character will appear totally different in this game. To put it more
colorfully - If you were originally a warlock, you will now appear as a
giant snail. Good luck!

This revised version of the "KASNAR" adventure scenerio for the Explorer
GS program fixes problems with the original version. I strongly
recommend that you download this revised version rather than the
original KASNAR.
I think that you will find both the "KASNAR" and "The.Great.Hall"
adventures for the ExplorerGS series to be challenging and fun. You
will have to search for hidden rooms in both adventures, and have a
fairly strong character. Remember to cast a lot of heal spells.
You must have both the (Explorer.Data and Explorer.Pic) files, along
with the ExplorerGS program inorder to play.
If you play Kasnar or The.Great.Hall and would like to see more Explorer
GS adventures similar to these let me know.

File: LIGHT.SHK (21225 bytes)
AUTHOR: Ron Humphries and Tim Burgener
This is a new scenario made by myself and a friend, mostly the friend.
This is a rather hard scenario in parts, and should not be tried by a
low level character (most should be in a good condition by now, mine is
229 HP 170 SP Level 15 or 16 Black Phantom with some KICKing stats. 16
in most)
IMPORTANT: This scenario has the first of our series' modified shape
and data tables. You MUST first rename your old
EXPLORER.PIC EXPLORER.DATA files to something else (or just add a '.O'
to the end of them). Then unpack this SHK file. There are 2 replacement
files for the above mentioned files, and the scenario itself.
These shapes will look STRANGE in other scenarios, but should work fine
overall. Make sure to do a file shuffle to get your old shapes back (and
rename these shapes) when you want to play other scenarios.
There are some new characters, odd characters, new decoration, and a lot
of modification to different parts of the scenario, etc. If you would
like to use these shapes in one of your future scenarios, please refer
to these shapes as
GARGANCHUWA ONE ^^^^ ^^
Our name Our first
Look for another scenario like this, but with more, and a space one
coming soon.

Nightlance is my very first Explorer adventure. I tried to make it for
1-5 level characters since there arn't many easy adventures out there.

In Rescue, all of the rooms were used and over 7 levels are contained.
Make sure to talk to everyone and search for secret doors. My brother
worked for about a week on this to challenge my character(HokieBird); we
then got together and worked some more on it, taking the bugs out and
changing a few things. Please send suggestions and encouragement to
JohnL007 and we'll come out with a sequel. Enjoy...

This is the Famous French TGV (Tran Grande Vitesse[Train of Great

this graphics set to understand the scenario.

This my first attemp at uploading a game, but my friends say that it is
very fun to play. There may be a few errors (like a wall blocking you
and there is no possible way to get by) so if there is write to me and I
will upload a fixed version of the quest.

It could take many trys to beat this game. You must find the shield or
the wand. This is NOT for 1st level players.
In this game you are on Venus colony. The Aliens are attacking the
planet. Hope you like it!!!!!!

Wand of death I
This is a VERY tough Explorer game in which I used all of the screens.
It has 3 worlds! The sequel is coming soon.
------------------
Wand of death II
Well, Burbick the wizard is back in an AWESOME sequel to the original
Wand of Death. You'll learn how to battle fire-breathing dragons and
other nasties-but don't get too hot under the collar. The evil wizard
returns with an even tougher challenge- so get hopping! Have a nice
day:)
If you play any of the Wand of Deaths for ExplorerGS, be sure to check
WandStory.txt included in this file. It is the story of how Burbick got
gained power and how this all started. Read it!

This isn't my First Explorer game; but, it is the 1st I feel is worth
uploading. When I started it I was on level 15, and it was tough. Now
I'm on level 119, and the monsters don't even slow me down. Advanced
players might want to edit the global settings and 'up the ante' before
playing!

I highly recommend a high level character since there's a lot of traps
which could cost you 50hp, and there's a lot of black and blood phantoms
loose there, especially at the end.

This is my first game; and, it is fairly challenging -- I recommend
using a character with at least 100 HP. Also, I recommend using the
pic and data files from Hydracs. (These are included in this .shk
file.) If you can spare some HP, try talking to the monsters!
