While walking along Wall Street one
day, a Chartered Accountant
stumbled into the middle of a freak
occurence. He accidently fell into
a hole in the space-time continuum,
causing him to be sent back to One
Million B.C. Your mission is to
travel back to One Million B.C. and
get this "refugee in time" to fall
into another space-time portal
causing him to be transported back
to his proper time period, i.e. the
present.
Instructions
THE VOYAGE
Voyage through time is a game that
puts you in control of a Time
Fighter Jet. The Jet has been sent
back in time to complete missions
that will ensure the proper
course of history as we know it.
Unlike most video games, there is
no scoring, either you complete a
mission or you don't. Prepare for
a challenge, as you are about to
be sent back into time on two very
dangerous missions.
Please note that "Voyage Through
Time" is not an easy game! It
takes some practice before you
are able to put the Jet through
its paces. Please persevere! Once
you get the hang of it, you will
find this great two part adven-
ture to be addicting with its
colorful animation effects and
its smooth playing action.
FLYING THE TIME FIGHTER JET
Pushing the joystick left and right
steers the plane around the screen.
Pulling back on the joystick causes
the jet to go through a 180 degree
loop. Because your bottom is facing
the screen after the first loop
your left and right joystick
control appears to be reversed.
You must think of yourself as being
in the cockpit. If your bottom is
facing the screen, just pull back
on the joystick to do another loop
and you will now be flying cockpit
side towards the screen. To fire a
missle just press the fire button
(the missle appears on the tip of
your plane) and then let go of the
button.
When you first begin playing, it
might take a while to get used to
flying the jet. For this reason,
there is a special "hidden" feature
in this game. At any time you can
press CTRL and ESCAPE to give your
jet three lives. This option will
be changed back to the normal one
life whenever you enter the option
screen. However, you can press
CTRL and ESC while in the option
screen and press START to start the
game with three lives. These three
lives are only for your Jet and the
game will still end as soon as the
refugee gets killed.
GETTING THE REFUGEE TO MOVE
The refugee is the little man
standing on a raft at the bottom of
the screen waving at you. If you
shoot the man, you actually
energize him to protect him from
the monsters he faces. To move him
when he is on his raft, shoot the
water beside him and if you hit
close enough the wave will move the
raft. You must move him to the
right towards land.
When eventually you get him to wash
up on shore he will start running
on his own across the path and down
the ladder as the scenery scrolls
by. He then runs away from the
ladder and stops in front of the
big cave in the side of the
volcano. The procedure is more or
less the same to get him to move.
You must hit the ground beside him
(which stirs up a little dust) and
he will run away. Although you
don't have to hit the ground as
close to him as you had to hit the
water, after a bit of running away
he starts to run back towards the
cave where he will again stop. So
you must keep hitting the ground
behind him to keep him running to
the right.
The space-time portal is invisible,
but it is near the right hand side
of the screen. When the refugee
gets to the right side of the
screen, first your Jet disappears
as it is transported back to the
time and place it came from, and
then the refugee is sent back to
his own time. The mission is then
completed.
This may sound real easy, but wait
until you try it! There are also
four obstacles which occur randomly
that you must overcome.
