Like most text adventures the syntax in CosmoServe is straightforward. EXAMINE everything mentioned in the room descriptions. You can interact with characters by TALKING TO [ someone ] or by ASKING [ someone ] ABOUT [ something ], or by OFFERING, SHOWING or GIVING [ something ] TO [ someone ]. Type ? for a list of function key macros. Unlike other games, much of CosmoServe will be played in a simulated computer environment where 'normal' text commands will not be relevant. If you get stuck during the game, F10 will usually bring some direction. As always, SAVE your game so you can RESTORE it if something goes wrong, but remember, the clock is ticking while you're playing CosmoServe! You will probably have to RESTART the game at some point to play it more strategically. If you're really desperate for hints, feel free to contact Judith by CompuServe E-Mail 76636,2067.
