~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | | | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | | | Autoduel Short Dox | | | | by | | | | Happy Cynthax Nautilus | | | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | | | | This is just a short summary of commands and a description of things in | | Autoduel for those of you who have never played Car Wars or Autoduel Cham- | | pions. The game is in a futuristic setting where society fell because of | | food shortages and became very barbarianistic. Many towns and cities be- | | came fortresses and the motorcycle gangs ruled the countryside. Death spo- | | rts became popular and autoduelling started when "Crazy Joe" Harshman won | | a destruction derby by mounting a .50 cal machinegun on his car. In res- | | ponse to the increase of cycle gangs and their sophisticated weaponry | | many citizens arm themselves. Police are no longer able to deal with armed | | vehicles and informal highway duels increase.... | | | | In Autoduel, the object of the game is to have fun killing other people | | and plundering their possessions. When you first start out, you have $2000 | | and 50 skill points. Be sure to buy body armor at the truck stop before | | anything else. In this game, anything hit by gunfire or ramming is partia- | | lly destroyed. DP is how many "hits" something will take before it is tot- | | ally gone. So when you buy body armor, you actually double the number of | | hits you may take. At first, all you can do is to try to earn some money | | by going to the Arena for Amateur's Night. There you get a car on loan and | | fight with other amateur's for a cash prize. You can only do this if you | | are poor and low in reputation. You can gain money by winning tournaments, | | delivering items, selling items, etc, and prestige by being victorious, a | | dependable courier, or a merciless vigilante. Otherwise if you get frust- | | rated and can't get anywhere, track $1A sector $00 has all your character | | information - $14-$16 is money and $17-$19 your skills. | | | | If you make a "kill" you may salvage your victim's items, if he has any | | by getting out of your car "G" and moving over it. If there is anything to | | be found, take it back to your car (if you have enough room and weight) to | | sell it at the salvage shop. Some other commands - CTRL T gives you a list | | of all cargo carried and which car is carrying it (you can have eight cars | | if you want to) CTRL C gives you the status of your car, CTRL D status of | | yourself, CTRL L for location and time, and Q to save the game. | | | | The complete documentation and map will be coming soon so watch for | | them at : Breaking Away - (415) 945-6316 20 meg BBS/CF | | Free Haven - (415) 946-9813 10 meg BBS/CF | | | | Until then, | | | | ---==: Happy Cynthax Nautilus :==--- | | | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
