SoftSide Selections #44 BROADWAY by Robert Saturn Apple version by William Morris and John Cope Broadway is a simulation for an Apple® with 48K RAM. Broadway opens with a flashing marquee. To begin, the player (henceforth called the producer) names the production company. This name appears on the weekly report and on the closing notice at the end of the simulation. The program will accept any string (no commas, no double quotes) up to twenty characters and spaces. After a basic introduction and some instructions, the producer attempts to raise $1,000,000 to produce the show. As in the real world, past performance (as shown by a randomly generated ‘‘track record’’) controls the ease with which you can raise the money. The names entered in this section have no bearing on the amount of money raised (that is controlled by a random number in conjunction with the “‘track record’’), but using the names of friends and relatives adds to the fun of the simulation. If you fail to finance the show within eight tries, the simulation ends, but you can try again with a new “‘track record.’’ In Broadway, should the producer acquire more than the requisite $1,000,000 the method used to lose the excess is as true-to-life as any. Pre-Production With the financial backing in hand, you begin to put the show together. The program asks the producer to hire one of three people for each of ten key jobs. As each person is hired, his respective fee is added to a running total that will be deducted before opening night, and his weekly salary is added to a running total that is deducted from the production company’s funds each week. Each choice also assigns a certain number of quality points to another running total. These point values reflect the relative importance of each job. Choosing a high-priced employee tends to result in higher quality, but too large a payroll can bankrupt the producer. An employee at “Level #1” raises the quality point total, a #2 employee leaves it unchanged, and a #3 employee reduces the quality point total. Next, the producer must choose a theatre. A larger theatre has a larger \ potential gross (if you can fill it), but also incurs greater expenses. Rent is J SoftSide Selections #44 I SoftSide Selections #44 2 BROADWAY higher, and the theatre’s more complex equipment requires a larger, more ex- pensive crew. Now the producer must make some decisions about sets, costumes, lighting, and so on. Each of your four designers has submitted three designs in his respective department. Each design differs in quality, and therefore in cost. The one-time fees (for items purchased) and the weekly costs (for items rented) are added to the applicable totals on opening night. The program compiles quality points for technical appearance as you make each selection. Rehearsals and Opening Night The rehearsal period is five weeks. The weekly payroll total is deducted for five weeks before opening. The one-time fees are deducted after the rehearsal period is over. At this point, the director has the option of calling for further rehearsals (a random function). Each extra week of rehearsals costs the pro- ducer one week’s payroll. Here’s where a high payroll and high technical ex- penses, coupled with a few extra weeks of rehearsal, can put the producer out of business. On opening night, you will get a report of the total weekly cost figures. These figures, of course, are minimums. Salary changes and advertis- ing will add to the weekly costs. The procedure for generating reviews is as follows: Each of the five reviewers has five reviews upon which to draw. They range from great to very poor. Simon, of New York Magazine, always gives a bad review (a little humor for those familiar with the New York theatre scene). To determine which of the five reviews to use, the program doubles the quality points earned for person- nel, adds the quality points earned for technical appearance, and multiplies the total by a random number ranging from one to ten (this simulates the reviewer’s mood). The process repeats for each of the five reviewers. Thus five different people can see the same show, yet write five different reviews, a fre- quent occurrence on Broadway. As each review appears, the show earns box office points. Better reviews earn more points. More points mean more ticket sales. Advertising also affects box office points (one point for each $10,000 spent per week), ticket price (high prices keep people away), aging of the show (the longer a show runs, the harder it is to get an audience), and random events that will be explained later. The Run After seeing the reviews, the producer has the option of closing the show, and returning what remains of the original $1,000,000 to the investors. Also, you may exercise this option after getting the report each week. If the show re- mains open, the producer must decide how much to spend on advertising each week. You can spend any amount, from zero to all the available funds after payroll expenses. The money used for advertising becomes part of the weekly expense only for the week in which it was allocated. Use no dollar signs or commas when you tell the computer how much to spend on advertising. The current ticket price then appears on the screen, and you can increase or decrease it by any whole dollar amount. At this point, a random event may oc- cur (usually every three or four weeks). Both good events and bad events are possible — and all will affect the box office action in one way or another. The two events dealing with pay raises increase your weekly payroll directly. The other events will increase or decrease your current total of box office points. Then the weekly report appears. The program figures the number of tickets sold for the week, using a formula based on box office points, the original quality points of the show (before the critics influenced the public), a random \_ number (to simulate the public mood), and the seating capacity of the theatre. (“After multiplying the number of tickets sold by the current ticket price, it) displays the gross and deducts the week’s expenses, yielding the net profit. Any loss is deducted from previous profits. If the show has had no previous profits, the loss is deducted from what remains of the original $1,000,000. If the front money is exhausted, the producer is out of business. In addition, every thirteen weeks, you must pay the investors a quarterly payment of 98 percent of the current profits, before you buy advertising or attempt to cover losses. You may close the show after any weekly report. When the producer closes the show, the program posts the closing notice, pays the salaries for the final two weeks (with the salary bonds posted before opening), and displays the final totals, which show, among other things, the percentage of return to the investors.

You are one of the inhabitants of the Island from whom infor- ‘mation is wanted. In particular, your captors wish to know why you resigned your job and will go to quite extreme means to extract from you that one piece of information — which is in the form of a three digit resigna- tion code. Indeed, the entire Island is your own personal prison. Every building, path, person and supposed escape route appears to be part of a grand deception to throw you off your guard and reveal your private reasons for resigning. Basically, this is a game of the power of the individual against the forces of oppression. As The Prisoner, a person of conscience and a strong sense of in- dividuality, you are armed with this sense, your intelligence, your intuition and desperation. The Apple has, as does the Island itself, an arsenal of trickery, coercion, propaganda, lies, false clues, false escapes, ambiguity, inconsisten- cy, allegory and frustration. Both sides have a single objective that is simple in concept, but not in achievability. The player’s goal is to escape from the Island; the computer’s is to get the player to reveal his resignation code. Thus, this adventure is a strug- gle for information. The player possesses some very valuable (and perhaps dangerous) information that the authorities of the Island wish to uncover, while the player himself must in turn sift through what information the com- puter provides about the Island to discover the means for escape. It is also a struggle of the individual against society, for the authority sees the player’s resignation and guarded reasons as rebellion and, through representations of various institutions of society, tries to convince the player that lack of cooperation and obedience to the will of the authority is disharmonious and against the best interests of the security, stability and preservation of the whole. Cellular Structure The Prisoner is actually an elaborate game system comprised of nearly 25 different games and adventures taking place on the Island. The player need on- ly boot the disk to enter this exclusive resort, while the computer takes over the game management, error detection and control, and status files. The Island maintains tight control over the situation and knows how to handle its guests quite effectively. Playing time is extensive. If you want a quick shoot-em-up, look elsewhere. This is a psychological assault, and such things take time. The adventures on the Island will capture you for many sessions of play since escape from this in- tricate prison is far from easy. When you need a reprieve, you may suspend the game at any point and save the game status until you are ready to try again by simply typing CTRL-C. Stopping the game is a method the desperate may use to gain some clues on how to win the game, but at the cost of ten points for each clue given. The clues are given randomly and those with higher scores have a chance to get a better clue. A warning: Depending on your score and the random number generator you may get the same clue over and over, each time losing ten points. Even with a high score, the better clues may come up only rarely. Why should the keepers make things easier for the prisoners? HW welll PRISONER From Edu-Ware Services, Inc., P.O. Box 22222, Agoura, CA 91301. System requirements: Apple® Il, Il+ or Ile with Applesoft, 48K and disk drive. Apple Ile users make sure CAPS LOCK Is down. The Prisoner occupies the entire back side of this Issue’s Apple DV. Anger. Indignation. You are finally fed up with your line of work, with The Company, with the whole system in general. And they were so damned imper- sonal about accepting your resignation, too! How do you vent your anger at a machine, blinking coldly at you? What does the machine care about the thoughts that have been building up in your conscience over the last few months? Coldly and efficiently it reduced them to a computer-digestible three- digit ‘‘resignation code.” Yet, considering the context of your oratory, it was appropriate. Well, at last it is over. Your mind is calm, your conscience clear. Now you want only to get as far away from the Service and its repugnant secrets as possible. Where should you go for an escape? Paris is nice at this time of year. You’ve had some pleasurable assignments in Madrid. New York is always. Drowsiness. Darkness. Drowsiness. Awake. What a sleep. Wait! Where are you? A glance out the window tells you that foul play has occurred. You have been abducted and imprisoned on “‘the Island,’’ an isolated, self-contained community that is a bizarre perversion of society where sophisticated brain washing techniques, electronic survelliance devices, plots, counterplots, delu- sions, paradoxes and oppression abound. Here, you can trust no one and no thing. Prisoners and keepers are in- distinguishable, rules are vague and inconsistent, truth and falsehood are in- determinable. Even your own identity is at times in question. The only certain- ties are that you are the prisoner of someone known only as ‘‘the Caretaker for, the Master,”’ who seeks to know why you resigned and will go to any means to obtain that information. Your one consolation is that they don’t want to damage you. At least not permanently. You must escape, but clues are hard to come by and allies come even harder. Your tools are your intelligence, intuition and sense of individuality. Will you manage to escape, or will you be broken, absorbed into the system, and forever remain The Prisoner? L SoftSide Selections #44 IS ( The game has a liberal amount of visual stimulation. Over forty displays ot | text, low resolution, and high-resolution graphics, as well as sound effects, keep your attention and interest at a peak during even the most lengthy session of play. Many experiences and options are available. A generous helping of random events, play inputs and decisions, places, and adventures keep The Prisoner from being just another fixed-algorithm game. The Island is a com- plex environment, and you will not discover all its amenities even after many sessions. You must learn the rules as you play, because, just as in real life, the rules are not laid out beforehand, but must be discovered as you go along. In fact, rules are not even consistent on the Island — keys that perform particular functions in one part of the game may have totally different functions in another section. Remember that your keepers are always in control and that they deliberately keep things vague and inconsistent to manipulate and frustrate you. Keep alert, be persistent, and don’t be afraid to experiment. Every decision is scored. The Island keeps you under constant surveillance and monitors your every movement. It increments or decrements your score based upon whether or not your actions are those of an individual. The more individualistic you are, the greater your score will be. This score is revealed on- ly upon winning, losing or suspending the game, and is closely linked with your chances of escaping. Many doors are closed to you until your score reaches a high enough value. Since this score usually is invisible to you, weigh and verify your decisions to determine if they are in your own best interests. The authorities will give you no help. The challenge is to your mind. Success in the game requires reading between lines, logical deduction, developing new and creative patterns of thinking, making intuitive moves and detecting trickery. This is not an easy game to win, and every sub-game is a challenge in itself, requiring different mental disciplines. You will find yourself at times frustrated, confused, discouraged, puzzled, perhaps even angry. Don’t give in! The Island authorities want you in this condition so as to absorb you into the complacent, nonthinking, nonresisting masses. A sense of humor and a refusal to give in make for a strong shield against the manipulative and coercive forces of the Island. Winning is both absolute and relative. The main object of the game is to escape from the Island. But for those of you who are numerically minded, or who have a tendency to reveal your resignation code too readily, the score pro- vided at the end of the game lets you judge your performance. A Note to Fans of the Series While this game was inspired by the Patrick McGoohan’s ‘‘The Prisoner’ series, it is not meant to be an adaptation of it. Fans may recognize many elements of the show, which were retained to preserve the spirit and message, but they may be disappointed that certain other elements are missing or changed. Though we are great fans of the series, we are also ‘‘individuals’’ with creative concepts of our own. Instructions The Prisoner is a complex game to win, but not to operate. The game is a complete turn-key system, requiring you to do nothing other than to insert the disk and boot it. From then on, the computer takes over the maintenance of the program. THE PRISONER SoftSide Selections #44 17 SoftSide Selections #44 18 THE PRISONER NN However, the task of operating the game is entirely up to the player; hence, these expertly crafted instructions. Although many software purchasers refuse to believe this, accompanying documentation is as important as the program itself. You will be severely handicapped and frustrated without these instruc- tions. Read the opening section to get into the spirit of the game. Contrary to what many Orwellian authorities may wish you to think, ignorance is not strength. Only the most informed individual will be least duped and manipulated by the society. Always leave your Prisoner disk in the drive and keep the drive door closed. This is a disk-intensive game (it accesses the disk @ /ot) and should not be disturbed until the session is finished. Don’t worry if you accidentally remove the disk or open the door during play, for the error handling routines are quite forgiving and will just groan at you the next time you access the disk until the situation is remedied. The game will not be disturbed; nevertheless, it is annoying. The game always begins with a brief representation of the prisoner’s resigna- tion and display of his three digit resignation code, even if you are continuing a previously suspended game. The resignation code is the heart of the game — the reason you have been imprisoned on the Island. You must either memorize it or write it down. Forgetting the code will not aid you. The authorities are trying to get you to enter your resignation code into the computer, and you might be tricked into doing so — even if you don’t know the correct sequence of numbers. Under no circumstances reveal this number, because you will lose the game automatically. When you start a new game, you receive 500 Island credit units to spend. The Castle Following the display of your resignation code is your ‘‘abduction’’ to the Island. You will wind up in the Castle at the start of every session and the end of every unsuccessful escape attempt. Your arrival in the Castle represents a new day or adventure on the Island. Since this is your first experience after be- ing captured we will give you this one bit of information: The Castle really is a maze, a prison within a prison from which to escape. The Island The Island has twenty different structures, each containing a different adventure or experience. Only four appear on the screen at any one time. Oc- casionally, you may see a gate to the outside world. At times you will discover that the buildings have been rearranged when you are sent back to the Castle. This disorientation is your penalty for escape. Nothing else is disturbed; this is frustrating enough. ) (om | The only way to lose is to reveal your resignation code deliberately or unintentionally. When you do so, the program resets the disk files to a new game status (your score is zero, you have 500 credits and your possessions are lost). You will receive your final score, and the game will end. No pardon is possible. Winning The only way to win the game is to escape (by the way, that may be escape literally, figuratively, physically or mentally) from the Island. And the way to escape is to.... Ah, but that would be telling. You may find one or several, or even no ways to escape; that is for you to discover and decide. As with losing, winning the game sets the disk files to a new game status so the next session has no record of the previously played game. When you do discover a method for escaping, please keep it a secret (unless they threaten to do bodily harm to themselves or you in order to find out, and even then they might regret it). You have had your fun; don’t ruin it for others. If someone tells you a way, remember that it might not work if your score isn’t high enough, and that plenty of demanding things are still on the Island to master and discover. Strategy Just as with any other escape attempt, doing well in the game requires developing a strategy that takes into account both your prison and your keepers. Following are some points to consider: @ Keep pen and paper close at hand. You will have a number of objects and pieces of information to keep track of during the course of the game: buildings, credits, clues and the like. You must do all of your own bookkeep- ing. If this seems unneccesarily tedious, remember that the computer is not there to help you — it is your adversary. @ Use your keyboard. Not every input into the program has a prompt. If the program appears to stop or ‘“‘hang,”’ probably it is waiting for you to type something in and perhaps even measuring your response time. If you get impa- tient, do not wait for the computer. Take the initiative and try nudging the keyboard. @ A flashing cursor always indicates that the computer is waiting for you to type something. It may desire only a single keystroke response or several keystrokes followed by a RETURN. Be aware that sometimes the backspace key is disabled, and after an input reaches a certain length a RETURN is generated whether you pressed that key or not. Keep your eyes on the screen LO THE PRISONER SoftSide Selections #44 SoftSide Selections #44 and what you are typing. You will find that certain keys have a special func- tion at one point in the program, but may not behave the same way in another. Consistency is not one of the attributes of the Island. Be open to change. Remember that the only means of communicating with your computer is through the keyboard. When in doubt, type something, anything. However, desirable results cannot always be guaranteed. @ Use your head. Few instructions are included within the program — and this is no accident. To get into the spirit of the game, you must place yourself into the prisoner’s position, an uncertain pawn of imperceptible forces. When confronted with a problem, try different approaches, whether they be logical, intuitive, creative or desperate. Please do read the instructions that are presented, and then decide if you care to follow them. @ Explore the Island thoroughly. If you enter a building or other location that you do not understand or find uninteresting, leave and discover one that you find more appealing. But do not make hasty evaluation. Some buildings have special features that you must discover through experiment or luck. Try visiting different locations at different times and don’t be afraid to break the rules. @ Don’t let the game get to you. If you find yourself getting overly frustrated, stop the game for a while, and come back later with a fresh mind. It isn’t meant to be played in one sitting. If you do find the authorities are beggining to rattle you, remember that that is exactly what they want. Keep your cool and sense of humor. @ If you think the program isn’t working, try again. What you may at first believe to be an error may not be the case. A trick might have been played on you; certain possessions must be gained or tasks performed to get something to work; or the computer may be waiting for you to press certain keys or make certain responses. Don’t be too quick to assume an error, and remember that CTRL-C can get you out of any section of the program. @ Above all, this is a game of psychology. While the Island is trying to psych you out, you must in turn try to psych out your keepers. From your knowledge of the Island, try to guess how its designers’ minds work. Your one hope for escape is to second guess them. st THE PRISONER a, 20 SCIENTIS’ by Thomas Hanlin Ill Apple version by Fred Pence Mad Scientist Is an adventure program for any Apple® computer. Have you ever felt the urge to go adventuring, but were foiled by a severe deficiency of giants, dragons and mad scientists in your neighborhood? Well, here’s your chance! Your task is to enter the mad scientist’s haunted house, rescue the fiend’s beautiful daughter, and get out of the house before it’s blown sky-high (after about 225 turns). It won’t be easy! You cannot enter the daughter’s room until a certain event has occurred. Secret passageways bar your path. Monsters pop up at inopportune moments and try to kill you, as is their custom. The direc- tional compass in the lower corners of the screen won’t show you everything! You accomplish your tasks in this game by using one- or two-word com- mands such as ‘‘GO NORTH” and ‘“‘SCORE”’. Finding these will be part of the fun. Let it be a challenge to you! For further general information on adventure games, see the SoftSide Adventure Series on page 32.

Sometimes, a particular program does not lend itself to these procedures. Always read the specific instructions ac- companying a program. They will instruct you if there are any variances from the following procedures. Also, back issues of Soft- Side may differ in some details. At the conclusion of each program listing in SoftSide Selections, we include a SWAT (Strategic Weapon Against Typos) Table. SWAT for the Apple appeared in SoftSide Issue #30. If you missed Issue #30, we'll send you a free reprint of SWAT. Send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to: SoftSide Publications, Inc. Department SWAT 10 Northern Blvd. Northwood Executive Park Amherst, NH 03031 Be sure to tell us that you have an Apple computer. ( >) Magnetic Media Disks are in 16-sector format, created under DOS 3.3. A menu pro- gram runs automatically when you boot your disk. Simply select the program you wish to use from the menu. Always read the documenta- tion first! SoftSide Selections disks are duplicated on reliable, professional equipment. Bad copies are exceedingly rare. Nevertheless, the trip through the mail occasionally results in damage to the sensitive magnetic media. If, after a reasonable number of attempts on well- adjusted, clean equipment, you are unable to load a program, return it to us along with an exact explanation of your problem. We will send you a replacement. SoftSide Selections media are not copy protected. We urge you to make an archival backup copy of your disk or tape as soon as you receive it, as our replacement policy is valid only for 30 days. Please resist the urge to give away copies of copyrighted material. Line Listings The line listings in this booklet are in standard Applesoft® format, and they appear exactly as they should on your screen when you type LIST. Things to watch out for when typing are: @ REM and DATA statements: Applesoft always LISTs an extra space after the keyword. Therefore, you should type one space less than what appears in the listing. @ Spaces between quotes: Applesoft is a bit eccentric about how it LISTs these. Just LIST the line after you type it, and compare it to the printed listing. Also, be sure to use SWAT on your program. Get the free reprint if you don’t have SWAT. System Requirements The necessary memory and other equipment you need to run a pro- gram are listed in the introductory paragraph of the article for each program. (Also see the SoftSide Adventure Series elsewhere in this booklet.) L ‘ J SoftSide Selections #44 3 SoftSide Selections #44 foe oe oe. e OY —SofDide_ ADVENTURE BOLT ESS) Issue 44 Adventure: Mad House Unjustly committed to an insane asylum, you must wend your way past guards and the real inmates, with their vivid delusions. Escape will be no problem for you — or will it? SoftSide Adventure Series =DV What would you say to a program that asks, “What do you want to do?”” Well, you might say, ‘GET APPLE” or ‘‘KILL SPIDER”’, because that’s how the SoftSide Adventure Series works. Each issue, the latest Adventure takes you to another world of fantasy, puzzles and thrills. Your first task is often simple survival — and even that basic feat can be daunting until you figure out the right way to do it. You’ll have to be ingenious and persevering, and your rewards will be great. To “‘win’’ a fantasy/adventure game, you must solve the author’s devious puzzles, and overcome the obstacles that confront you — whether they be dragons, desperadoes — or grade-point averages. Death, should it come, is transitory — just re-run the program to live again! ; Experienced adventurers make detailed maps of each world as an aid to ef- fecting a solution, but you can omit this exercise if your memory is excep- tional. Express your wishes with one- or two-word commands, like “LOOK”, “DROP SCALPEL”, or ‘GET FROG”. Use ‘‘I’’ to get an inventory of your possessions. The introduction to each Adventure explains this more fully. To start up the Adventure, just run the program called “INTRO”, “INTRO/BAS”’, or “INTRO.BAS”’ on your disk, or select the Adventure from the DV menu. On cassette, the INTRO program is the one just before the Adventure. The Adventure runs in any Apple with at least 48K RAM. @ Here are the encrypted hints for High School, the Adventure in Issue 43. The first three hints are of a general nature, and you should use them first. ; The three hints listed for each class will tell you the specific activities that you oe must accomplish there to get an ‘‘A’’ in the course.

Can you get financing? Will it be a hit, or will the critics pan it? Time to get investors! @ Mad Scientist — In this interactive fantasy, you, as the hero of the story, must rescue the mad scientist’s beautiful daughter before her insane parent blows up the house. @ Apple DV Bonus: The Prisoner The Prisoner is a huge, deliberately frustrating adventure, in which you must escape the totalitarian “Island,” a bizarre prison camp for spies, like you, who know too much. This enor- mous game occupies the entire second side of a special, two-sided disk. Based on the British television program of the same name. @ The SoftSide Adventure Series — Issue 44 Adventure: Mad House Unjustly committed to an insane asylum, you must wend your way past the guards and the col- orful inhabitants, who include most of the major figures of history — or so they say...
