A Matter of Time
Text/Graphics Adventure

Shareware Version

In this introductory level adventure, the player must search for a fellow scientist, who
is currently missing after experimenting with a time travelling device. You must
travel back in time in search of this man, who has been accused of the murder of a colleague.

To begin the game, first enter CD [Directory], where [Directory] is the location of the game files.
Type the command 'Time1' and hit Enter. The game will then begin.

The game will load graphic screens periodically throughout the game. To switch back to text mode press the Space Bar. 

This game has a reasonably flexible parser and should accept short sentences in the
Verb-Noun format. Adjectives, pronouns and prepositions are also allowed. If a certain
command doesn't work, try experimenting.

To travel about, use the directional commands, N, S, E, W, Up and Down.
You may need to use objects to travel in certain situations. The Inventory command
will show all the items currently in your possession.

In order to save your current game position, use the Save command. Restore will
load you saved games. To exit a game, simply use the quit command.

This version of the game may be copied and distributed.
