TURBO THE TORTOISE
(Hi-Tec Software)


Doctor Mulliner, the world renowned scientist and part-time pub
singer, is developing the latest Cybernetic technology.
Whilst creating his first prototype, a freak uncontrollable
and unexpected chain of events occur. His pet tortoise Wal decides to
start hibernation in the Matter Doesn't Matter chamber. The Doctor's
psychopathic assistant Beckett, unaware of this fact, activates the
generators; simultaneously, a 4.75 giga-watt bolt of lightning blitz's
the control circuits, causing a massive overload in the artificial
intelligence system.
As the smoke clears the chamber is opened, but no-one is
prepared for what is about to be discovered. Through the thick mist an
outline of what appears to be a huge tortoise can be seen, but it
can't be, can it ... yes, now possessing Super Tortoise Powers is our
new super hero.

SCENARIO
After the initial shock the Doctor's lightning quick brain begins to
scheme. To complete his prototype there are six major components still
required. There is a slight problem however; all known supplies have
been exhausted. The only solution is to travel through time to where
the items were first discovered. As time travel is relatively easy
these days, Turbo now possessing Super Tortoise Powers, is sent on his
first mission to collect them.

OBJECTIVE
You play the part of Turbo, who must progress through six time zones
collecting mystical items, avoiding hordes of weird and wonderful
nasties, discovering hidden bonuses and secret locations, and it
that's not enough, conquering the guardian found at the end of each zone.
When the guardian has been defeated, the item needed will appear.
On collection, the zone will be complete.

DISPOSING OF ENEMIES
The majority of enemies can be disposed of by jumping on their heads
or hitting them with the current weapon, but beware some are a lot
stronger than they appear.
