Interlaced Pairs by Amnesia
- INTERLACED PAIRS, IS BASED ON THE GOOD OLD CARD GAME, 'PAIRS'. THIS NEW '96 VERSION OF THE POPULAR CARD GAME, TAKES THE SAME FORMULA, AND ADDS A NEW DIMENSION TO THE GAME-PLAY. UNLIKE PREVIOUS VERSION OF 'PAIRS' ON THE COMMODORE, THE XLCUS VERSION DELIVERS IN BOTH GAME-PLAY, AND QUALITY. THE GAME CAN BE PLAYED AT THREE LEVELS OF DIFFICULTY (IN 1 PLAYER MODE), AND A CHOICE OF THREE DIFFERENT GRAPHICS TYPESIS ALSO PROVIDED. THE ONE PLAYER CHALLANGE MODE, ALLOWS A SINGLE PLAYER TO TRY AND UN-COVER EVERY - TILE, IN AN ALLOCATED NUMBER OF MOVES (DEPENDING ON THE DIFFICULTY LEVEL SELECTED). THE GAME CONTAINS A MASSIVE FIFTY FOUR GRAPHIC PAIR ICONS, WHICH I BELIEVE TO BE MORE THAN ANY PREVIOUS VERSIONS MAY HAVE CONTAINED. - WHEN LOADING IS COMPLETE, YOU SHOULD SEETHE INTERLACED PAIRS TITLE SCREEN. FROMHERE YOU CAN CHOOSE FROM A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS, TO ENHANCE GAME-PLAY. ALL CHANGABLE OPTIONS ARE SHOWN IN BLACKWITH THE DEFAULT OPTIONS HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW. USING A JOYSTICK IN CONTROL PORT 2, YOU - CAN MOVE UP AND DOWN, THROUGH THE VARIOUS OPTIONS, PRESSING FIRE TO CHANGETHEIR INDIVIDUAL ATTRIBUTES. THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS ARE AT YOUR DISPOSAL. - THE DEFAULT CONFIGURATION IS; 1 PLAYER; 1 JOYSTICK; MISC GRAPHICS; AND EASY 1 PLAYER MODE. PRESSING FIRE ON START GAME, WILL CAUSE THE DISK DRIVE TO ACCESS FOR A SHORT TIME, AFTER WHICH YOU SHOULD BE PRESENTED WITH THE PLAYING AREA. - THE PLAYING AREA COMPRISES OF SEVENTY TILES, EACH WITH A QUESTION MARK ON. USING YOUR JOYSTICK(S), YOU TAKE CONTROLOF THE BIG GREY POINTER. A HAND SHOWN AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN DEPICTS WHOSE GO IT IS, EITHER PLAYER 1 OR 2. BELOW THE PLAYER IS THEIR SCORE, OR NUMBER OF PAIRS THEY HAVE FOUND. EACH PLAYER TAKES IT IN TURN TO REVEAL 2DIFFERENT TILES, THE OBJECT OF THE GAME BEING TO FIND 2 THAT MATCH. WHEN A PLAYER FINDS A MATCHING PAIR, THEY HAVE ANOTHER GO, AND SO ON. THE PLAYER WITH THE MOST PAIRS, WHEN ALLTHE TILES HAVE BEEN REVEALED, WINS THE GAME. DURING GAME-PLAY, IF YOU HAVE CHOSEN 2 JOYSTICKS FROM THE MENU, WHEN THE HAND - CHANGES TO A DIFFERENT PLAYER, CONTROL WILL AUTOMATICALLY SWITCH TO THAT JOYSTICK. WHEN ALL OF THE TILES HAVE BEEN REVEALEDAND THE GAME WINNER IS DETERMINED, YOU CAN PRESS ONE OF THE FOLLOWING KEYS: - THESE KEYS ARE ACTIVE AT ALL TIMES, ALSODURING GAME-PLAY. IF YOU GET BORED WITHA GAME, PRESSING RUN / STOP, AT ANY TIMEWILL TAKE YOU BACK TO THE TITLE SCREEN.
