************************ TIME ZONE COMPLETE SOLVE ************************ WOW, THIS IS A BIG SUCKER! HATS OFF TO KEN AND ROBERTA WILLIAMS. IT SEEMED LIKE IT TOOK FOREVER JUST TO WRITE THE TUTORIAL FOR THIS MASSIVE ADVENTURE... IT MUST HAVE BEEN AN ETERNITY WRITING T HE CODE TO PROGRAM IT. ONE CAN BELIEVE THAT IT TOOK THE YEAR THEY CLAIM. BUT THE EFFORT PUT IN BY THOSE PIONEERS OF THE GRAPHIC ADVENT URE CERTAINLY PAID OFF, AND I DOUBT ANOTHER ADVENTURE OF THIS SCOPE AND CALIBER WILL BE SEEN FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. WELL, ENOUGH OF THE EDITORIALIZING...ON WITH THE TUTORIAL. FIRST OF ALL, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF TIM E 'ZONES' THAT ARE DEAD ENDS... RED HERRINGS TO FRUSTRATE YOUR SOLVING OF THE ADVENTURE. THEY ARE AS FOLLOWS: ALL TIME PERIODS IN ANTARCTICA (YOU FRE EZE YOUR BUNS OFF IN ALL OF THEM!) AUSTRALIA 1400 AD AFRICA 1700 AD AFRICA 2082 AD SOUTH AMERICA 2082 AD ALASKA 50 BC SOUTH AMERICA 1700 AD SOUTH AMERICA 1400 AD SOUTH AMERICA 50 BC NORTH AMERICA 1000 AD IN EACH OF THESE ZONES, YOU INEVITABLY GET KILLED OR END UP FINDING NOTHING OF VALUE TO AID IN YOUR FINAL OBJECTIVE ON NEBURON. ALSO, I HAVE NOT INCLUDED A TRIP TO AUS TRALIA 50 BC, WHERE YOU FIND A RHEA EGG WHICH, WITH A SHOVEL, YOU CAN DIG UP AND TAKE. USING THE HAT PIN YOU FIND IN ASIA 1700 AD, YOU CAN P OKE A HOLE IN THE EGG AND USE IT TO CARRY WATER (WHICH IS FOUND IN NU MEROUS ZONES) TO DRINK WHEN YOU GET THIRSTY. THIS HAPPENS IN ONLY A CO UPLE OF TIME ZONES, MOST IMPORTANTLY IN AFRICA 1400 AD. HOWEVER, I HAVE FOU ND THAT BY FOLLOWING THE MOVES I DESCRIBE, YOU CAN GET BACK TO THE MACHI NE BEFORE DYING OF THIRST AND THEREFORE YOU DO NOT NEED TO GO TO GET THE EGG AND THE WATER. AS USUAL, EVERYTHING BETWEEN COMMAS REP RESENTS EACH SEPERATE INPUT AND EVERYTHING IN PARENTHESES IS A SEPERATE COMMENT NOT TO BE INPUTTED INTO THE GAME. ALSO, I HAVE PRECEDED EACH ZONE WITH ITS TITLE. THESE TITLES ARE ENCLOSED IN >BRACKETS< AND SHOULD N OT BE INPUTTED INTO THE GAME. ALSO, MOST OF THE TIME WHEN YOU INPUT ' LOOK', IT IS ONLY THERE TO PASS SOME TIME IN ORDER FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN. DON'T EXPECT TO FIND SOMETHING NEW WHENEVER YOU INPUT 'LOOK'. THIS IS A MASSIVE ADVENTURE, SO I WARN YOU TO SAVE THE GAME OFTEN!! I SUGGEST THAT YOU SAVE IT AFTER EACH ZONE YOU SO LVE. WHILE I HAVE TAKEN PAINS TO ASSURE THAT THIS TUTORIAL IS ACCURATE, I HAVE AN EARLY VERSION OF THE GAME AND NEWER VERSIONS MAY HAVE CHANGED THI NGS SLIGHTLY. I MAY HAVE ALSO MISSED A TYPO OR TWO, SO PLEASE LET THE SYSOP KNOW IF YOU HAVE RUN INTO A DISCREPANCY IN THE DIRECTIONS GIVEN... I WILL TRY T O UPDATE ANY FAULTS IN THIS TUTORIAL. OF COURSE, FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS ON D ISK SWITCHING WHEN GOING FROM ZONE TO ZONE....
