BSY present ...
THE ADVENTURES OF BIG WILL AND STICKY TROLL PART 1 - THE PUB QUIZ
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This is the DEMO version of BSY's latest game, and as such contains only 3
levels. The full version will have 20+ screens, spread over five different
zones, plus end-of-level guardians, bonus rounds, AND an official Plough
Inn pub quiz, along with extra sound effects and music.
NOTE:
This demo requires 1 Mb of chip ram to run. The full version will require
2 Mb of chip ram, so you will need an A1200, A4000, or other suitably
expanded machine.
This disk is public domain - it may be copied and passed on to anyone who
wants it, but this text file MUST be included on any copy.
Big Will and Sticky Troll - The story so far...
-----------------------------------------------
For years, the unbeatable team of Big Will and Sticky Troll have reigned
supreme at the Plough Inn quiz nite. However, somewhere, Dark Forces are
massing against them, and a devious plot is being hatched...
In a last-ditch effort to top the pub quiz league, the treacherous `Sunny
Bluebirds' have kidnapped Sticky Troll, and scattered Big Will's precious
beer tokens across the four corners of the globe...
As Big Will, you must visit each of the four corners, collect the tokens,
rescue Sticky Troll from the `Bluebirds' grasp, get back to the pub, and
win the quiz - before 9:30pm...
Each zone features it's own brand of nasties - along with the ubiquitous
`Blubirds' ... along the way you will encounter Nora Bernardo's walking
boots, possessed skiing penguins, the evil Doctor Whould's clockwork fez,
cannibalistic snowmen, psychotic mummies, and many more...
To complete each screen, you must collect 10 beer tokens before locating
the finish sign, which will transport you onto the next level. You begin
the game with 3 lives. A life is lost when either: i) Big Will falls into
the water (he's not a very good swimmer!), or ii) all his energy (denoted
by hearts in the bottom right corner of the screen) is lost through
contact with the nasties. However never fear! A continue option allows you
to restart the game on the current level when all 3 lives are gone. In the
full version of the game, these continues will be limited to 3... BUT, due
to our generous nature here at BSY Towers, in this demo they are totally
limitless.
Handy hints:
Keep a look out for bouncy bits!
Beware! Penguins and mummies like to push you off your perch!
Wassocks can be quite useful!
Plug yer joystick in Port 1, good luck, and ... SWING YER BEARDS!
