|
|
| This is just a short summary of commands and a description of things in |
|
|
| Autoduel for those of you who have never played Car Wars or Autoduel Cham- |
|
|
| pions. The game is in a futuristic setting where society fell because of |
|
|
| food shortages and became very barbarianistic. Many towns and cities be- |
|
|
| came fortresses and the motorcycle gangs ruled the countryside. Death spo- |
|
|
| rts became popular and autoduelling started when "Crazy Joe" Harshman won |
|
|
| a destruction derby by mounting a .50 cal machinegun on his car. In res- |
|
|
| ponse to the increase of cycle gangs and their sophisticated weaponry |
|
|
| many citizens arm themselves. Police are no longer able to deal with armed |
|
|
| vehicles and informal highway duels increase.... |
|
|
| |
|
|
| In Autoduel, the object of the game is to have fun killing other people |
|
|
| and plundering their possessions. When you first start out, you have $2000 |
|
|
| and 50 skill points. Be sure to buy body armor at the truck stop before |
|
|
| anything else. In this game, anything hit by gunfire or ramming is partia- |
|
|
| lly destroyed. DP is how many "hits" something will take before it is tot- |
|
|
| ally gone. So when you buy body armor, you actually double the number of |
|
|
| hits you may take. At first, all you can do is to try to earn some money |
|
|
| by going to the Arena for Amateur's Night. There you get a car on loan and |
|
|
| fight with other amateur's for a cash prize. You can only do this if you |
|
|
| are poor and low in reputation. You can gain money by winning tournaments, |
|
|
| delivering items, selling items, etc, and prestige by being victorious, a |
|
|
| dependable courier, or a merciless vigilante. Otherwise if you get frust- |
|
|
| rated and can't get anywhere, track $1A sector $00 has all your character |
|
|
| information - $14-$16 is money and $17-$19 your skills. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| If you make a "kill" you may salvage your victim's items, if he has any |
|
|
| by getting out of your car "G" and moving over it. If there is anything to |
|
|
| be found, take it back to your car (if you have enough room and weight) to |
|
|
| sell it at the salvage shop. Some other commands - CTRL T gives you a list |
|
|
| of all cargo carried and which car is carrying it (you can have eight cars |
|
|
| if you want to) CTRL C gives you the status of your car, CTRL D status of |
|
|
| yourself, CTRL L for location and time, and Q to save the game. |
