                           SHIP OF DOOM /by Artic/
                           =======================

This game depends of some random elements. However, except killing aliens, it
is possible to give a full step by step solution. Note that this solution works
only with original Artic version - this game also have updated version created
by Sean Ellis using Graphic Adventure Creator.

                                 Solution:
                                 ---------

S, TURN HANDLE (to open a panel; you will be asked do you want to go on board),
YES, W, W, W, TAKE GLASSES, WEAR GLASSES, E, E, E, E (without glasses you will
not see the microbattery, but only a dark corner), TAKE BATTERY, W, S, S, S,
TAKE ROD, INSERT BATTERY (into the rod, to make a sonic screwdriver), N, W,
TAKE GUN, S, W, POINT SONIC (at glass cover, to release a key), TAKE KEY, N, N,
TAKE COIN, E, E, E, E, S, TAKE TORCH, S, INSERT KEY, INTO HOLE (you will
release a warm air), W, N, TAKE HOOK, E, N, W, W, S, LOOK (a warm air will melt
the ice, the girl will appear from the ice, and a hidden door will appear),
KILL GIRL (not very necessary, but later she may strangle you - she is not
friendly), SHOOT DOOR (to make a hole in it), ENTER DOOR (after entering
through a door, from time to time you will see a little aliens - kill all of
them immediately else they will kill you; the exact location of aliens and a
moment of their apperiance is random), DROP SONIC, TAKE KNIFE, W, S, SHINE
TORCH, AT BEAM (to neutralize the dangerous light beam), DROP TORCH, N, E, E,
TAKE MIRROR, W, W, S, S, CUT ROPE (a knife is needed for this), DROP KNIFE,
TAKE ROPE, E, D, E, LOOK UP (tricky, nothing suggest this except typing HELP,
but nothing suggest to typing HELP here), TIE ROPE, TO HOOK, THROW ROPE, CLIMB
ROPE, N, PAY DRINK, WITH COIN, DRINK DRINK (you will fall asleep because of
become drunk, and you will wake up in a prison), FUSE BARS, WITH MIRROR, E,
PRESS RED, PRESS ORANGE, PRESS GREEN (the order is important; the lift will
transport you in a computer room), PRESS BUTTON (you will activate self
destruction, and you will have only 30 turns to escape), D, W, FUSE BARS, WITH
MIRROR, S, S, D, W, U, W, N, N, E, U, N, N, E, N, N, PRESS BUTTON (the end).

                                  Hints:
                                  ------

- To save the game, type QUIT (unusually), then YES.
- Typing HELP will give a clue very rarely in this game.
- Do not try to release a human from android conversion room nor to get a strap
  because it is just a trap.
- In android pleasure room you will find an android girl. You can fuck her, and
  a message which will appear seems for me as a random selection from a set of
  5 messages, because I didn't find any correlation between messages and actual
  state of the game.

                                 Comment:
                                 --------

This game (also known as Adventure C) was popular before many years, and it was
avaliable even for ZX81. This is text only game, with short descriptions, but
playing atmosphere is not bad, and the game itself is not such limited like
"Planet of death". Not hard to solve, except some unusual methods for doing
some things (for example, POINT SONIC). The parser is two-word parser. This
game has updated version, created using GAC by Sean Ellis, with more locations,
more events, more tasks to solve, and with (rather simple) pictures.
