TRISTAM ISLAND
By Hugo Labrande

Manual for : TI-84+ CE version

=================================

After crashing your plane at sea, you end up drifting to a small island, with not much to survive. You explore, and find out the island was inhabited, years ago. But why did the people leave? And why is there a fence around that big building at the top of the hill?

=================================

WARNING

This version of the game was almost compatible with TI-83+ calculators. However, due to a tricky bug we are currently investigating, the TI-83+ version only works on an emulator, but not on actual hardware. This package will hopefully be updated soon with a bugfix!

=================================

HOW TO PLAY

- On a TI-84+CE, use the TI-84+ CE <-> USB cable and the TI Connect software to transfer zemu.8xp and the contents of the "vars" directory onto the calculator.
- On a TI-83+, use the TI-83+ <-> USB cable and the TI Connect software to transfer zemu.8xp and the contents of the "vars" directory onto the calculator. Another possible way is to use the TI <-> TI cable to transfer it from a TI-84+CE.
- Open the Catalog (2nd + Catalog) and choose the "Asm(" command.
- Hit the "PRGM" button and select "ZEMU".
- At the prompt, type "TRIS".
- The game then starts.

Example of inputs recognized by the game are: go east, examine sky, inventory, enter ocean, take pebble, open matchbook. Around 100 verbs are recognized by the game.

There are no built-in hints in the game (there just isn't the space!), so I encourage you to ask other players for help!

If you encounter a bug, or if a sensible command wasn't recognized, or if you want to give me any sort of feedback, don't hesitate to send me an email : hugo at hlabrande dot fr.
