Having Fun With Starquake

Introduction

This article like many others I will be doing, is a recreation, tidy up, etc of articles originally

published in old User Group Magazines. As the quality of these old magazines is quite

poor, I decided to take it upon myself to recreate those articles and present them in an

improved format, with pictorial enhancements and where possible improved content.

This time I thought I would have some fun with the excellent Starquake. This article was

originally Published in Einstein Monthly News as part of their Harry the Hacker series of

articles.

Where to begin

Insert the Starquake disk and from DOS type;

LOAD STARQ.COM and press ENTER ;note the number of Blocks which will be

used for saving the program

MOS and press ENTER

M 9134 and press ENTER

0EFF. and press ENTER (remember to type in the full stop after the number.)

This will give you 256 Lives and press ENTER

Next insert a blank disc, on which you want to save the modified STARQUAKE to and

press CTRL/BREAK, this will return you to DOS. Then type:

SAVE 200 STARQ1. COM and press ENTER ;note the 200 should be the number

of Blocks noted for saving earlier

You should now have your modified copy of STARQUAKE on disc. Load and enjoy.

Teleport codes

Just to help you on your way, here are the teleport codes;

AMBOL, ARTIK, CHORR, DOLAN, ERCOP, INDEL, KRYOL, OPTON, RAZOR, SNORK,

TALAQ, UPLAQ, VORON and ZODIA

Happy gaming.
