fast disk access it might not be on the screen long enough to see.

Hints for those who have never actually played the original game:
|
||||
|
||||
+ At initial arrival, hit up a bunch of times to escape the
|
||||
tentacle monster. On an original II w/o autorepeat
|
||||
you might have to bang on the keyboard a lot.
|
||||
+ You can kick some enemies. Crouch-kicking is sometimes
|
||||
a bit easier than stand-kicking.
|
||||
+ When running (i.e. after pressing left or right twice)
|
||||
you can press "up" to run-jump which is faster than
|
||||
plain running. That might be useful if you need
|
||||
to out-run something.
|
||||
+ When you get the gun, use space to fire the laser.
|
||||
You can use "L" to charge your gun for special actions.
|
||||
Charge a little bit then press "L" (or any key)
|
||||
to create a shield.
|
||||
Charge a longer time (a few seconds, when the charge
|
||||
ball gets bigger) and it will make a giant blast capable
|
||||
of destroying doors and shields.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Note: the original Apple II had no up/down buttons, which is why
|
||||
you can also use WASD for movement. Different emulators handle
|
||||
this differently, but if for some reason up/down is not working
|
||||
try using W/S instead.
|
||||
|
||||
Joystick support: none yet?
|
||||
It should be possible, I just haven't had time to implement yet.

|

This means it's really not possible to use the keyboard the

same way as the original game (which had you do things
|
||||
like holding down spacebar to charge the gun and then
|
||||
firing when you release it. Same for running faster
|
||||
by holding left/right and space at the same time).
