POWER BOTS Released 05-JAN-85 by The Safe Cracker The object of the game is to make it to the ground floor of the building. You start at level 4 and try to work your way down. To complete the level you must find the power station. This is done by using the power search key on empty rooms. If you find the power you will be re-energized and transported to the next level. When encountering a creature, try to decide whether he is a friend or foe. If a friend try to get information from him. If a foe, blast him with a weapon. (certain weapons work on certain creatures.) If you kill him then take his power. The hail key is essential for information. When the level starts you are allowed to choose two weapons. The space bar changes the weapon and the return key selects it. the keyboard layout is as follows 1 - Weapon 1 2 - Weapon 2 3 - Jump Left 4 - Jump Right 5 - Jump Up 6 - Jump Down 7 - Hail 8 - Power Search 9 - Get Power 0 - Get Info The game is much easier to play if you make a key guide and lay it on top of your keyboard. _______________________________ Powerbots Dox & Cheat From D.T. Legna of the Crunchy Booger Dox Warehouse The game starts out with a half way decent picture and some music that you will get sick of while playing the game... Then when the game starts, you get to meet the Android that you will control (yippie??), He will talk for a while and its VERY BORRING ...... you can abbort it and still play the game by hitting CTRL-RESET and type "RUN DROIDS" Actually you can hit CTRL-RESET When the stupid music starts and then type "RUN DROIDS".If you would like to cheat at this game cause it will be very hard to win without doing so then you must change 2 lines they are.... vvvvv----Changed part 182 IF PD% > 200 AND CR% < = 0 THEN PD% = 0: GOSUB 185:CR%=0:GOSUB 255 PRINT D$;"BLOAD ANAL.NO POWER DROID,A";RS:CALL AN%,FS(5):CALL PS%,4: POKE - 16368,0: CALL RK%:CALL PS%,0:LE% = 0: GOSUB 150:CALL 54915 : GOTO 70 vvvvvvvvv---Changed part 255 CR% = 150:A$= RIGHT$("0000" + STR$ (CR%),4):CALL PP%,0,33,166,4,8,3: CALL ME%,1,33,166:CALL CK%:CALL CK%: RETURN This cheat is in the applesoft file named "DROIDS". This cheat will restore your Androids power EVERY time he runs out. This cheat works on the crack by The Safe Cracker Released 1-5-86 any other cracks might not work Active keys.... 1 --- Fires your first weapon 2 --- Fires your second weapon 3 --- Jumps left 1 grid 4 --- Jumps right 1 grid 5 --- Jumps up 1 grid 6 --- Jumps down 1 grid 7 --- Attempts to talk to the robot in the room 8 --- Checks if the power module is in the room Playing the game.... First you will land in front of YOUR service robot. he will ask you what weapon do you chose... now you can chose from four weapons they are... Flamethrower Goo-Gun Rocket Electrode To change the choice you hit the SPACE BAR and to accept a weapon you hit RETURN. then you can hit a JUMP KEY to where ever you would like to move (I hit 6 most of the time). So as you land in a room, keep your hands on buttons 1 & 2 (Fire Buttons) if there is a robot in the room dont fire right away see if he is going to fire first. If he does not then hit button 7 (Talk Button) and if the robot is friendly then he will tell you some info about the Power Module's Location. If he fires at you then either fire back at him (Note : not all weapons will hurt all robots. you may have to go back to YOUR service robot to get new weapons in order to kill him.) or you may want to just leave (same way that you came in only) cause the Power Module will NEVER be in the same room as a Robot is. Through trial and error you will find out which weapons hurt which robots. Sometimes a room will have a Dragon in it and they cannot be killed, though the Goo-Gun shuts their mouth real well so you can get away. In order to win you must Find the Power Module 4 times, and then you will win. Of course just after you win the machine will play that stupid music that you hate, and then start the game over....
