How to play all these games ?
All these games (graphic or text adventures) have the same interface (shown on the screenshot above), and can be played exactly the same way. typing the text There are two ways to type words with the stylus of your Nintendo DS :
the icons to avoid typing always the same things, the most used orders can be called via the icons - each icon has two or three states, for example, the hand means "GET ", "DROP " and "GIVE ", and the "N" button means "GO NORTH" and "GO UP" - just pick an icon twice or more to select the good order... the buttons
the vocabulary a sentence in these games is defined by a verb + a noun, for example, "OPEN DOOR", "GO NORTH"... each game has his own vocabulary, but a lot a verbs are common to all the games - here's a list of the most common words : - GO - ENTER - CLIMB - SWIM - LOOK - EXAMINE - GET - DROP - THROW - CAST - WEAR - REMOVE - OPEN - CLOSE - LOCK - UNLOCK - BREAK - CUT - CHOP - SAY - KILL - HELP - in many cases, you don't have to write the entire word to be understand, only the first letters are necessary : for example, "G HELM" is esquivalent to "GET HELMET", or "CLIM DRAWB" is equivalent to "CLIMB DRAWBRIDGE" the word completion the v1.2 (and upper) versions, a text completion funtionnality has been added. Just draw a slsh '/' in the middle of the word, and the game engine will try to complete it with the latest words that have been printed on the screen... You can draw this slash until you find the good word. For example: You are in the kitchen, you see a can wooden bench, a bootle of wine, and a cute babe... >CLIMB ON B -> draw a slash here completes to : >CLIMB ON BABE -> draw another slash here completes to : >CLIMB ON BOTTLE -> draw another slash here completes to : >CLIMB ON BENCH -> that's finefine, isn't it ? Note : On DS-Frotz games, you can only complete the last noun.. But in Scott Adams or Brian Howarth adventures, you can complete the first verb too...
the shortcuts as many words come often in the same game, some shortcuts have been defined :
ok, now, let's go to the adventure !!! |
Note to the authors or owners of these games :All these games I've ported to the NDS are not for a commercial purpose, but only to bring NDS players all these classic, and sometimes cult, adventure games. If that's a problem for you, please contact me, we'll try to find a solution. Thank you... papafuji |
