    Dear downloaders,

    This is ChronoWars, my first released game.  You are Asher Wells, a 
temporal physicist.  Your boss is Joe Carter. Asher, or you, discovers Joe's 
time travel devices. It all starts with a small portal inducer he 
demonstrates to you.   Then you go through a huge adventure applying 
5-dimensional theories.  This isn't just your "Let's go back to medievil 
times!" time-travel.  This is technical.  I hope you can follow it!  My game
has 4 parts so far, but it will have plenty more!  Here are some hints for 
the first episode:

    Destroy the tube with animation that DBot recharges with.  It will
blow up, and there will be no more recharging.

    The red maze in the Lab is timed! Find the fastest path!

    Have fun!


TIPS FOR #2:

    Find the super gem in one of the trees.

    The blinkwalls require divided attention.  Look at each one, not
the whole mess!

    The maze after that is timed as well.  Get a head start before the
timer goes!

TIPS FOR #3:

    The forest you first enter has a secret path.

    You can go back into the Mat.

    Look HARD at the rotting corpse!

    The woman in the Research Center is sad because she has been widowed.   
Get a key from her before you leave in Jane's time machine!

    Listen for the date Joe says to go to!  You will have to input it
in the lower level.

    You can shoot incoming bullets.

    Keep Brent Aaron from being shot!!!

    Input Brent's penny into the slot at the timebase.

TIPS FOR  #4:

    Go through each colored sector, get all 8 access keys, and unlock 
the corresponding barrier for each of the 7 sectors in the main reactor core.

    In most of these you have to think. And in the cyan sector, if you
don't know algebra, you can pay to skip it.



    ChronoWars I, II, III, and IV are free.  They are public domain.  All 
that I ask you is to distribute them unchanged.  How would you like it if 
someone put trash all over YOUR game and gave it away? You would lose your
rep!

    I am not online. I will be in 1997 sometime.  And thank you for
downloading my ZZT games.  Enjoy!
