They control everything from a deep underground base on Mars. You have been sent to stop them. First, however, you have to drop down all of the way to the very core of Mars. At first, your jet parachute doesn't open, but luckily for you it opens soon enough. However, unluckily for you, you have a bad memory, and forgot to fill up your oxygen tank. There is a little oxygen in some rocks on Mars that look like this: . However, they are rare and are dispersed throughout the ground. You must keep yourself alive by having oxygen, but you cannot have too much (two rows of the screen is the maximum amount) because your emergency oxygen tank will burst. Also, you cannot bump into walls because they have electricity running through them. - CONTROLS - RIGHT SHIFT - Moves your character to the right LEFT SHIFT - Moves your character to the left - SCREEN - At the top of the screen you will find the following:  A /-\ /-\ | | This is the amount of oxygen How deep you are you have left. (A-z). This letter is shown when you die. This is your "score". - NOTES/HINTS - o To make things more difficult as you go farther downward, your character is moved farther downward on the screen, and thus you have less time to notice a wall, heart, etc. o This game is different each time you play it (i.e. everything changes places and the landscape changes) o This game only takes 253 bytes of uncompressed machine code (including 6 bytes of data). - UPDATES/BUG FIXES - May 08, 1995 - Made an optimization so that instead of: mov ax, 0b800h mov es, ax the program now uses: push word ptr 0b800h pop es which saves one byte. May 07, 1995 - Fixed the game so there would not be oxygen rocks () in walls. Changed the color of the "score". Version 1.2 released. May 06, 1995 - In the previous version, the random number generator simply looked through memory and took each sequential byte as a random number. This caused a problem because numbers in memory were not really random. In this version, the problem is fixed, and the random number generator is truly random. May 01, 1995 - First version (1.0) released. - AUTHOR - Name: Misha Koshelev E-Mail: mkosh@cs.utep.edu (preferable) or ac654@rgfn.epcc.edu WWW Home Page: http://cs.utep.edu/schools/mkosh.html Source code is included in this ZIP file.
