~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | | | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | | | Autoduel Short Dox | | | | by | | | | Happy Cynthax Nautilus | | | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | | | | This is just a short summary of commands and a description of things in | | Autoduel for those of you who have never played Car Wars or Autoduel Cham- | | pions. The game is in a futuristic setting where society fell because of | | food shortages and became very barbarianistic. Many towns and cities be- | | came fortresses and the motorcycle gangs ruled the countryside. Death spo- | | rts became popular and autoduelling started when "Crazy Joe" Harshman won | | a destruction derby by mounting a .50 cal machinegun on his car. In res- | | ponse to the increase of cycle gangs and their sophisticated weaponry | | many citizens arm themselves. Police are no longer able to deal with armed | | vehicles and informal highway duels increase.... | | | | In Autoduel, the object of the game is to have fun killing other people | | and plundering their possessions. When you first start out, you have $2000 | | and 50 skill points. Be sure to buy body armor at the truck stop before | | anything else. In this game, anything hit by gunfire or ramming is partia- | | lly destroyed. DP is how many "hits" something will take before it is tot- | | ally gone. So when you buy body armor, you actually double the number of | | hits you may take. At first, all you can do is to try to earn some money | | by going to the Arena for Amateur's Night. There you get a car on loan and | | fight with other amateur's for a cash prize. You can only do this if you | | are poor and low in reputation. You can gain money by winning tournaments, | | delivering items, selling items, etc, and prestige by being victorious, a | | dependable courier, or a merciless vigilante. Otherwise if you get frust- | | rated and can't get anywhere, track $1A sector $00 has all your character | | information - $14-$16 is money and $17-$19 your skills. | | | | If you make a "kill" you may salvage your victim's items, if he has any | | by getting out of your car "G" and moving over it. If there is anything to | | be found, take it back to your car (if you have enough room and weight) to | | sell it at the salvage shop. Some other commands - CTRL T gives you a list | | of all cargo carried and which car is carrying it (you can have eight cars | | if you want to) CTRL C gives you the status of your car, CTRL D status of | | yourself, CTRL L for location and time, and Q to save the game. | | | | The complete documentation and map will be coming soon so watch for | | them at : Breaking Away - (415) 945-6316 20 meg BBS/CF | | Free Haven - (415) 946-9813 10 meg BBS/CF | | | | Until then, | | | | ---==: Happy Cynthax Nautilus :==--- | | | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here's the Autoduel Map by Beowulf@aol.com Watertown | / _______Syracuse Manchester / \_______________ | Buffalo | \ \ | Albany__ \ | | \_______Boston | | | | | / | | Providence | | Scranton | / \ | / \ | / \ | / \ | / \_________New York / / Pittsburgh | / \________Harrisburg / \__________Philadelphia | /\ | / \ | | \ | | \_Atlantic City Baltimore | | \ / Dover Washington NORTHEASTERN UNITED STATES--FALL 2030 This Eastern Division road map is provided for quick reference to major roads and Fortress Towns. For detailed information about any city, check the AADA's North American Road Atlas and Survival Guide, available at any bookstore, truck stop, or AADA office. ALBANY, NY The capital of New York has strict duel-control ordinances, but local duellists can always visit the Albany Motordrome for a sanctioned combat! For those less than successful in these endeavors, repair and weapon facilities are available. Be sure to look for the Empire State Plaza Pistol Duelling Grounds, one of Albany's most popular attractions. G, W, AADA, TS ATLANTIC CITY, NJ Most s visit Atlantic City for its famous casinos--or to play "live Monoply" along the boardwalk But some lucky duellists pass Go for a good deal more than $200 at the Baltic Duel Arena...Atlantic City is also the site of the original live "Shootout" game; tickets are available at the Fitzsimmons Sports Office. G, A, TS, C BALTIMORE, MD AADA members visiting this city should confine their travels to the relatively safe downtown area. The suburbs, hard hit in the Food Riots, are unsafe for travel at any time, though individual vehicles in Division 20 or above may visit them for combat practice. Downtown, travellers will want to see the luxurious Hotel Baltimore, a historic 200-year-old structure, and the East's only fully-domed combat stadium, Irsay Memorial Arena. WS, JB, AADA, TS, H BOSTON, MA Massachusett's state captial--once an historic site--was nearly levelled in the Food Riots; it is now one of America's most modern cities. Boston boasts no ordinary weapon shop, but Uncle Albert's catalog showroom. Full cloning facilities are available at Boston Gold Cross. There are three local arenas; daily AADA events are held at the downtown Yelrow Arena, but city championships move to the New Boston Duelling Arena because of its larger capacity. New car buyers can also check out the Fnord Motors Assembly Plant. TS, WS, A, S, JB, GC, AP, AADA, TS BUFFALO, NY Visitors of the city will want to check out the Buffalo Municipal Coliseum, still under construction. This project has been plagued by delays since its inception, but (when finished) it will be one of the nation's largest. Be sure to visit the weapons ship for the latest in duellist accessories. WS, S, AADA, TS DOVER, DE Dover is best known for the world-champion Dover Destroyers, scourge of the combat football circuit. Dover is also the capital of Delaware and the site of the Delaware Agricultural Museum, where visitors can see living samples of many nearly extince plants such as wheat, orange trees, and potatoes. WS, S, TS HARRISBURG, PA Harrisburg is the capital of Pennsylvania. The base of a strong militia during the Second Civil War, it remains one of the more peaceful parts of the state, although downtown areas may be unsafe after dark. Duellist facilities are fairly complete, with ample repair and salvage capacity and a truck stop famed for hospitality to autoduellists. G, A, S, TS MANCHESTER, NH State government moved here when Concord, the original capital, fell victim to the Purple Flash in 2014. Visitors to Manchester can tour the plant of Origin Systems, manufactureres of fine targeting computers, combat simulation software, and similar duelling gear. G, A, AADA, TS, OSI NEW YORK CITY, NY The "Big Apple" hosts the AADA Divisional Championships every six months. It's also the site of the Magnum Motors assembly plant. Due to the danger to Manhattan's fabled skyscrapers, all vehicle weapons must be covered or unloaded downtown--Be careful, because the city militia enforces this rule strictly. G, WS, A, S, JB, GC, AP, AADA, TS PHILADELPHIA, PA The "City of Brotherly Love" has neither repair facilities nor a weapon shop but is home to Panthera Pets, a shop where one may find rather unusual animals. Drivers planning trips through Philadelphia should budget their resources carefully and check in the AADA office for the latest update on road conditions. JB, AADA, PS, TS PITTSBURGH, PA With the destruction of Detroit in WWIII, Pittsburgh became the center of the new U.S. auto industry. Most battlecar builders are still headquartered here--call the individual plants for tour information. Visiting duellists may want to drop in on a meeting of the Allegheny Autoduel Association. G, WS, A, S, JB, AP, AADA, TS PROVIDENCE, RI Rhode Island's state capital, Providence has no arena and no duellist facilities whatsoever, aside from its downtown truck stop. A major Providence tourist attraction is "aquaduelling"--armed speedboat combat! It'll never replace autoduelling, but it's certainly a thrilling sport. TS SCRANTON, PA Once a thriving mining town, Scranton was all but destroyed when the quakes of '18 toppled the city into the coal mines underneath. Rebuilt to the north of the original site, Scranton is now a small but solid Fortress Town. The rubble of Scranton Crater, along with the scarred acreage left over from a century of mining and blast-furnaces, has become the East's largest private-war compound. Corporations and special-interest groups come here to settle their differences while the nation watches via live TV coverage. WS, S, TS SYRACUSE, NY Syracuse hosts the famed New York State Fair and Combat Exposition from July to September each year. Visitors to Syracuse should pay close attention to local road and warning signs; urban renewal is only now getting under way, and abandoned buildings in the downtown area still shelter street gangs. WS, TS WASHINGTON, D.C. Captial of the 47 states, Washington's chief industry has been government for over 250 years. The President of the United States still fires the ceremonial "first shot" in Federal Arena each year to start the AADA duelling season. The city also has some of the finest garage and salvage facilities to be found on the Atlantic coast. G, A, S, TS W, NY Watertown, the East Coast's largest aluction center, entered the duelling circuit when the Woolwoth Arena was onstructed. One ofthe Eastern Division's newest and most modern facilities, the Woolworth seats 40,000.
