SPEAR OF DESTINY
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Spear of Destiny brings virtual reality to the PC, hurling you into an
|
|
intense battle between good and evil in which only you can save the world!
|
|
A breathtaking musical soundtrack sets the mood, while amazing
|
|
``first person'' visual perspective and spectacular digital stereo sound
|
|
effects give an experience like no other game you've ever played!
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's World War II and you are B.J. Blazkowicz, the Allies' most durable
|
|
agent. In the midst of the German Blitzkrieg, the Spear that pierced the
|
|
side of Christ is taken from Versailles by the Nazis and secured in the
|
|
impregnable Castle Wolfenstein! According to legend, no man can be
|
|
defeated when he has the Spear. Hitler believes himself to be invincible
|
|
with the power of the Spear as his army of destruction sweeps across Europe.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your mission is to recapture the Spear from an already unbalanced Hitler,
|
|
with the hope that the loss of his most coveted weapon will push him over
|
|
the edge! You must infiltrate the heavily guarded Nazi stronghold and
|
|
time is running out!
|
|
|
|
In your quest to recover the Spear, you will encounter the exciting and
|
|
hazardous challenges, secret doorways to hidden passages, gruesome mutants,
|
|
and powerful monster-like ``bosses''. All this in the midst of the massive
|
|
fire-power of well trained enemy soldiers throughout the castle! See if
|
|
you have the ``right stuff'' to accomplish the most dangerous mission of
|
|
the war!
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a complete two-level playable version of Spear of Destiny - a
|
|
Wolfenstein 3D Graphic Adventure. Your mission is to make your way
|
|
safely through each of the levels to find the elevator to the next floor.
|
|
On the way, you'll have to fight your way past the guards - they'll kill
|
|
you if you don't get them first!
|
|
|
|
Setup
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
If you have an AdLib, Sound Source, or Sound Blaster compatible sound
|
|
device, you're in for a special treat. Spear of Destiny features an
|
|
original musical score, and digitized sound effects. If you're using
|
|
a Sound Blaster, make sure there's a line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT similar
|
|
to: BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T2.
|
|
|
|
Free up as much memory as possible. The more there is, the faster and
|
|
smoother the game will run.
|
|
|
|
Playing the Game
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Start the game by typing SOD.
|
|
|
|
You will be able to control the game using your mouse, joystick or
|
|
keyboard. All the controls are configurable from the menu within the
|
|
game.
|
|
|
|
The primary game actions are: movement, opening doors or passages, and
|
|
shooting.
|
|
|
|
MOVEMENT is accomplished by using the [up] and [down] arrows to move
|
|
forward or backward. You can turn to the left or right using the [left]
|
|
or [right] arrow keys. The joystick and mouse can also be used and work
|
|
as you'd expect. The mouse is, by far, the best way to control movement.
|
|
You can move sideways (instead of turning) by holding the right mouse
|
|
button down. This is extremely useful for looking around corners where
|
|
danger may be lurking.
|
|
|
|
OPENING doors or passages is done with the [space] bar. To open a door,
|
|
you need to move right up to it and then press [space]. The door will
|
|
open, and remain open for a few seconds, and will then close
|
|
automatically unless you or one of the other characters is in the doorway.
|
|
There are many secret passages in the game which are hidden behind objects
|
|
on the walls or behind ordinary wall panels. They are opened in the same
|
|
way doors are. Hint: there's a secret panel in the back of the first
|
|
alcove to the left when you start the game.
|
|
|
|
SHOOTING is done with the [Ctrl] key, the joystick button, or left mouse
|
|
button. Naturally, you need to be aiming your gun at the enemy you intend
|
|
to shoot. There are a number of weapons you can choose from, and they are
|
|
selected with the [1],[2],[3] and [4] keys. The [1] key selects the
|
|
knife, [2] selects the pistol, [3] and [4] selects the machine guns
|
|
(which you'll have to find before you can use them).
|
|
|
|
GAME SPEED and smoothness can be controlled by changing the size of the
|
|
view port. If you're using a 386/25 or higher you'll be able to get very
|
|
smooth action with a full screen view. If your system is a little slower,
|
|
you can improve the speed of the game by making the view port smaller.
|
|
|
|
Playing Tips
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
You can pick up any treasure you find by simply running over it. The
|
|
treasure is what gives you points, and most of it is hidden in secret
|
|
passages. You'll have to explore carefully, pressing on the walls to
|
|
find them. A good player will be able to rack up at least 100,000 points
|
|
in the demo.
|
|
|
|
Ammunition is all-important to your survival in the game. You can take
|
|
the blue ammunition pouches from the guards you shoot by running over
|
|
them. There are also a number of ammunition stores in the game, some
|
|
in the secret passages. Finding these will be essential to your survival.

Computer Gaming World says,
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
"the player is `there' like no game I've ever played..."
|
|
|
|
"the sound and the visual action, is frighteningly realistic"
|
|
|
|
"I can't remember a game making such effective use of perspective and
|
|
sound and thereby evoking such intense physiological responses from its
|
|
players."
